Bibliometric analysis of entrepreneurship education research from 2012 to 2022

Abstract

There is a growing interest in entrepreneurship education within the education community, as can be seen by the increased number of educational activities and initiatives focused on it, such as conferences, workshops, projects, and research papers. One good reason for this being interesting is that entrepreneurship education is considered a teaching and training approach designed to develop and encourage entrepreneurial spirit and success. Despite the progress that has been made so far in integrating entrepreneurship education into the education system, there is still a need to develop and strengthen educational practises in this area. One way to evaluate the current situation of entrepreneurship education is to conduct the scientific research that can be traced through the abundance of published literature on the topic. The published literature shows there is still a lack of comprehensive and systematic research focusing on the evolution of this field. As a result, the purpose of this study is to highlight the research efforts that have been made in entrepreneurship education. The final 615 scholarly articles used in this review, which were published and available through Scopus databases and ranged in date from 2012 to 2021, show that there has been a gradual increase in research on entrepreneurship education from 2012 to 2021.
