This paper aims to evaluate the citation-based performance of Latin American research on economics and business using scale-adjusted indicators. The results show that scale-invariant properties govern the Latin American research output in the Economics & Business discipline. Power law aptly describes the distribution of citation impacts with exponent alpha approximate to-2.27 +/- 0.05 Likewise, the Latin American citation impact and the size of the fields in the discipline of Economics & Business correlate according to a power law with scaling exponent alpha approximate to 1.13 +/- 0.07 The results suggest that to accurately evaluate the citation-based performance of this research field, the use of scale-invariant indicators is necessary. Furthermore, the results show the efficacy of scale-adjusted indicators when comparing research fields of vastly different sizes.
