Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the descriptive and evaluative findings of articles conducted in educational contexts on entrepreneurship education in the Web of Science (WoS) database. For this purpose, the bibliometric analysis method was used in this study. This systematic literature review examined 352 scientific articles published from 1991 to 2020 in the WoS database. VOSviewer software was used to visualize the results of the analysis. The descriptive results showed that the most articles, in terms of years, were published in 2017; Matlay was the most productive author, and Lappeenranta University of Technology was the most productive organization; Education + Training was the most productive journal and England was the most productive country. The evaluative results showed that Matlay had the largest co-authorship network; England was the country with the highest co-authorship network and the University of Tasmania and Birmingham City University had the largest co-authorship network. Moreover, Matlay had the highest (citations and total link strength) co-citations of cited authors. On the other hand, Kuratko had the highest (citations and total link strength) co-citations of cited references. Finally, the keywords occurrence networks showed that the biggest node was entrepreneurship education. Based on these results, systematic literature reviews on entrepreneurship education in educational contexts at the national level in different countries could be carried out.
