Abstract

Scientific production in sustainable entrepreneurship has grown in recent years as the theme has gained worldwide relevance and is present in major international conferences. As a result, the study aims to analyze the international scientific production in sustainable entrepreneurship in the period from 2010 to 2019, demonstrating its characteristics, citation analysis, and the scientific collaboration network through bibliometrics and social network analysis. Web of Science (WoS) was the database chosen for being a multidisciplinary platform, retrieving 715 articles on the theme in the selected period. The bibliometric analysis enabled the identification of the main thematic areas of publication and the institutions, authors, most influential journals on sustainable entrepreneurship. The collaboration network between authors and countries made it possible to identify and visualize the structure of the relationships between them, in addition to determining the patterns of collaboration.
