“…Among the differences of this study is the analysis of the following aspectsnot verified by other research on the same topic: a) stages of SUs as determinants of value for VCs (Cumming and Groh, 2018;Sharma et al, 2023), b) geographic coverage between countries (Hemmert et al, 2021), c) mapping of the different types of VCs (Sharma et al, 2023). Furthermore, another difference consists in the verification of bibliometric laws - Lotka (1926), Bradford (1934) and Zipf (1949).…”

Purpose:The objective of this study is to analyze the existing literature and identify knowledge gaps about the main value determinants of startupsaccording to venture capitalists' perspective Design/Methodology/Approach: This objective is verified through a bibliometric analysis and systematic review, which execution considers the use of RStudio, Biblioshiny and Rank Words softwares. The final sample consists of 184 articles, obtained from the Web of Science and Scopus databases. Furthermore, this study also verifies the main bibliometric laws -Lotka (authors), Bradford (journals) and Zipf (keywords).Findings: There is a future research avenue related to the analysis of: i) financial determinants of startups' value that are in more advanced stagesscale-up and maturee.g. expenditure on research and development, sales growth, profitability, ii) types of venture capitalists as startups' value determinantse.g., crowdfunding, angel investor, mutual funds and iii) alternative methods of startups' valuatione.g., First Chicago, Scorecard, Venture capital, Berkus. Practical Implications: The results of the study allow an approximation between the research topics of the academic community and the startup management, enabling a consistent evolution of this market segment. Originality/Value: The bibliometric analysis considers the verification of three main laws -Zipf, Bradford and Lotka. Furthermore, the systematic review is carried out through the codification of a (sub)categorization matrix. Moreover, the study also provides the analysis of the following aspects -not verified by other researches on the same topic: (i) stages of the startups as determinants of value for venture capitalists; (ii) geographical coverage between countries and (iii) mapping of the various types of venture capitalists.

“…The centrality and density metrics of Callon et al (2005) serve as the foundation for strategic or thematic maps initially introduced by Law et al (2005). These maps help researchers to explore the development of themes obtained from the co-occurrence of keywords (Agbo et al , 2021; Sharma et al , 2021). The methods used to create these maps draw inspiration from both co-word networks and financial portfolio analysis (Zong et al , 2013).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the structure and dynamics of academic articles relating to public procurement (PP) in the period 1984–2022 (up to May). The researchers also intend to analyse how this knowledge domain has grown since 1984. Design/methodology/approach A bibliometric analysis was carried out to examine the existing state of PP research. Based on 640 journal articles indexed in the Scopus database and written by 1,247 authors over nearly four decades, a bibliometric analysis was conducted to reveal the intellectual structure of academic works pertaining to PP. Findings Findings reveal that PP research from Scopus has significantly increased in the past decade. Major journals publishing PP research are International Journal of Procurement Management, Journal of Cleaner Production, Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management and Public Money and Management. Results also indicate that authors’ cooperation network is fragmented, showing limited collaboration among PP researchers. In addition, results suggest that the institutional collaboration network in PP research mirrors what is commonly referred to as the North–South divide, signifying insufficient research collaboration between developed and developing countries’ institutions. According to the co-occurrence keyword network and topic modelling, PP revolves around five main themes, including innovation, corruption, sustainable and green PP, PP contracts and small and medium enterprises. Based on these results, several directions for future research are suggested. Social implications This paper provides an increased understanding of the entire PP field and the potential research directions. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first-ever application of bibliometric techniques and topic modelling to examine the development of PP research since 1984 based on scholarly publications extracted from the Scopus database.

“…The data were cleaned using Microsoft Excel by considering keywords that did not appear in the title, abstracts, anonymous authors, and articles that did not focus on related fields. Only articles published in English were selected because it is the dominant language for scientific communication and provides the widest accessibility for research findings (Sharma et al 2023). Finally, 461 articles indexed in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Emerging Source Citation Index (ESCI), and Science Citation Index Expanded (Sci-Expanded) were considered.…”

The increasing social and environmental challenges, particularly poverty, have brought social entrepreneurship, a highly researched domain, to the attention of academicians. It has emerged as a critical issue in the context of economic development and societal well-being. The current study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis in the field of social entrepreneurship and poverty alleviation to explain the current state, geographical performance, and future research agenda. Utilizing VOS viewer (version 1.6.20) and R Studio software (version 4.3.2), 461 final articles were examined and extracted from the Web of Science database, covering the period from 1998 to 2022. The findings reveal a significant increase in research activity in this field since 2009, indicating a growing demand for it as a solution to social challenges. Notably, the years 2021–2022 witnessed a remarkable 55% surge in research output. The Sustainability Journal ranks first as the most productive source, followed by the Journal of Cleaner Production. The most prolific authors are Nina Kolleck from Germany, David Littlewood, and Diane Holt from the UK. Additionally, this study assesses the geographic distribution of research contributions, highlighting regions with relatively lower research performance, such as South Asian and African countries. Leading in this domain are the UK, Spain, the USA, and European institutions. Co-citation patterns reveal four thematic clusters: (1) dynamics of social entrepreneurship; (2) sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem; (3) social entrepreneurship for social innovation; and (4) integrated sustainable entrepreneurship, shedding light on critical aspects and the intellectual structure of this domain. Finally, keyword co-occurrence analysis identifies emerging research areas, e.g., entrepreneurial development, the role of higher education, enterprise collaboration, inclusive growth, and socio-economic empowerment. This research provides valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners committed to achieving sustainable social change.
