The active contribution of academic institutions to the technological, social and economic development of societies is of increasing importance. To better understand this contribution, we present a systematic review, together with bibliometric and network analyses of the academic entrepreneurship literature. This provides a map of the main topics approached by scholars, thereby illustrating the scientific scenario of the field. Our findings identify three highly interconnected research activity domains that characterize the multidimensional features of entrepreneurship in the academic setting, as well as a significant gap in the literature regarding studies evaluating approaches to support the navigation of potential scientific discoveries to the market. We organize our findings into a four stages framework consisting of: idea inception; the recognition of how this idea unlocks value for customers and other stakeholders; development of an innovative business model; and a commercialization strategy that creates real impact. We discuss the relevance of each stage for the establishment of a more innovation-friendly environment and conclude by offering perspectives into future research opportunities and by encouraging studies that consider the academic entrepreneurship process from a systemic perspective, to support a greater contribution of academic institutions to the economic and social development of the nations and societies.

学术机构对社会的技术、社会和经济发展的积极贡献越来越重要。为了更好地理解这一贡献，我们提供了系统综述，以及对学术创业文献的文献计量和网络分析。这提供了学者研究的主要主题的地图，从而说明了该领域的科学情景。我们的研究结果确定了三个高度相互关联的研究活动领域，这些领域表征了学术环境中创业的多维特征，以及关于评估方法以支持潜在科学发现进入市场的研究的文献中的重大空白。我们将我们的发现组织成一个四个阶段的框架，包括：想法开始；认识到这个想法如何为客户和其他利益相关者释放价值；开发创新的商业模式；以及能够产生实际影响的商业化战略。我们讨论了每个阶段对于建立一个更有利于创新的环境的相关性，最后通过提供对未来研究机会的看法，并鼓励从系统角度考虑学术创业过程的研究，以支持学术机构做出更大的贡献。国家和社会的经济和社会发展。
