Abstract: This article applies a literature-based analysis in its discussion of the 
research field of international entrepreneurship. It uses bibliometric citation 
analysis as its primary investigative method. The basis of the citation analysis 
was formed by articles coming from a number of electronic publication 
databases that contained the term "international entrepreneurship" in their 
titles, and which could thus be clearly categorized into this research field. The 
40 publications identified in this manner resulted in a database of 2,659 
citations. Upon observing the citation analysis and the clusters of topics that 
result, it becomes clear that the research on international entrepreneurship is 
influenced by the scientific fields of international business, entrepreneurship 
theory, SME internationalization, and born global/international new venture 
theory.
