Sustainable entrepreneurship (SE) has attracted significant scholarly attention over the last decade. Given its rapid development and its multidisciplinary character, the SE literature is increasingly difficult to navigate. We combine two bibliometric approaches (i.e. co-citation analysis of references and bibliographic coupling of documents) with manual coding of documents to take stock of progress within the field, mapping out focal points as well as blind spots in the SE research agenda. We show how distinct subfields have formed around key ideas expressed in subsets of seminal papers, shedding light on the relational nature of knowledge creation – uncovering the characteristics, evolution and future trajectories of these subfields. We develop a future research agenda based on the developments of the overall field as well as the subfields of SE.

在过去十年中，可持续企业家精神（SE）引起了学术界的极大关注。鉴于其快速发展和多学科的特点，东南文献​​越来越难以浏览。我们将两种文献计量方法（即参考文献的同引分析和文献的书目耦合）与文献的手动编码相结合，以评估该领域的进展，在SE研究议程中确定重点和盲点。我们将展示如何围绕开创性论文的子集表达的关键思想形成不同的子领域，从而阐明知识创造的关系本质-揭示这些子领域的特征，演变和未来轨迹。我们根据SE的整体领域和子领域的发展情况制定未来的研究议程。
