Abstract

In recent years, social entrepreneurship has received an increasing attention from the academic community. Social entrepreneurship is a topic related to various areas such as economics, management, education, sociology, psychology, and it is not surprising that issues related to social entrepreneurship are always debated with various definitions, methods, and approaches. This study aims to establish networks and maps in social entrepreneurship based on a systematic review of 1361 publications from the Web of Science database. More specifically, three methods of bibliographic analysis, namely bibliographic coupling, co-citation and co-word analyses are used to explore publication rankings and the main clusters by each method, the most influential publications, authors, journals, and keywords are therefore identified. The results from this study help researchers locate their research, discover potential themes for future research, and make social entrepreneurship knowledge more accessible to new researchers and policymakers.

摘要

近年来，社会企业家精神越来越受到学术界的关注。社会企业家精神是与经济，管理，教育，社会学，心理学等各个领域相关的主题，因此与社会企业家精神有关的问题总是以各种定义，方法和方法进行辩论也就不足为奇了。这项研究旨在基于Web of Science数据库对1361种出版物的系统评价，建立社会企业家精神的网络和地图。更具体地说，书目分析的三种方法，即书目耦合，共引和共词分析，被用来探索出版物的排名和每种方法的主要类别，从而确定了最具影响力的出版物，作者，期刊和关键词。
