In 2022, the Small Business Institute (SBI) celebrates 50 years as the premier provider of professional development for those engaged in student-centered small entity consulting and related entrepreneurship education, research and activities. As a result, this paper provides a timely review of the 106 articles published in the SBI's Small Business Institute Journal (SBIJ) during the period 2008-19. The paper identifies trends and patterns in the research and explores the gaps that currently exist in small business research. The 106 papers are coded by domain, topic, type (e.g. research, conceptual), data type used, and methodology used, and published papers are used to highlight the potential for further research. Finally, a list of possible areas for future research are discussed with respect to methodologies employed, data sources used, and for topics not currently covered in the Journal.
