Science mapping analysis was employed, using co-word networks in a longitudinal framework. Science mapping analysis differs from other tools in that it includes the use of bibliometric indicators. The great number of studies published makes it possible to undertake a conceptual analysis of how qualitative marketing research has evolved. To show the conceptual evolution of qualitative marketing research, four study periods were chosen. The results made it possible to identify eight thematic areas that employ qualitative research in the field of marketing:
