Abstract

Entrepreneurship and start-up development are crucial for economic growth, heightens the number of publications by academics, policymakers and educators. In recent years, the student entrepreneurship and start-up business (SEBS) research is gathering increasing attention. However, there is a need of making the comprehensive overview on the topic. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of 1,324 Scopus-indexed academic publications on "student entrepreneurship" and "start-up" as of July 2024, spanning 38 years. Using VOSviewer, this research explores publication trends, document types, languages, keywords, and contributions by key scholars, countries, and institutions. Findings indicate a notable rise in studies on student entrepreneurship in recent years, reflecting its growing significance in academia. Core research themes, frequent keywords, and author impact analysis reveal emerging directions and influential contributors in this field. This analysis highlights the global scope and evolving trends within SEBS research, underlining the field's dynamic growth and relevance. This bibliometric analysis indicates areas for further exploration and highlights key gaps in the literature. Identifies industry leaders and co-author networks, and shows directions for future collaboration. This research can provide a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to improve research on entrepreneurship and start-up development.
