Abstract:
A debate persists about the distinctiveness of entrepreneurship research.
Entrepreneurship research is seen as fragmented and its results are
considered noncumulative, handicapping the evolution of the field as a
respected scholarly discipline. In this article we conduct a bibliometric
analysis to shed light on these issues. We analyze co-citation patterns of
entrepreneurship-related articles published in the years 2000 to 2004 and
identify the 25 most central research streams in entrepreneurship. We
describe these groups and investigate their mutual relationships. Although
the United States represents by far the greatest source of entrepreneurship
articles, other countries represent significant sources of research in
specific streams.
