“…In some studies, bibliometric analyses were performed for a limited number of publications due to the selection of publications from only one research domain [85] or the selection of publications containing the term social innovation only in the title [86]. Furthermore, the purpose of some analyses was to explore relationships between social innovation and other terms, such as: sustainable development [87], entrepreneurship [88][89][90], nonprofit organization [91] or energy governance and transmission [92], which undoubtedly influenced the selection of the analyzed publications and the conclusions drawn on their basis. Another important issue is the fact that a significant part of recent publications presenting the results of descriptive bibliometric analyses and network analyses in the field of social innovation is based on publications published until 2018 [8,[93][94][95][96].…”

Due to the growing academic interest in social innovation, there is a need for a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the structure and evolution of this research field. So far, there have been very few in-depth studies in this area. In addition, the number of publications in this domain grows dynamically year by year. For this reason, it was assumed that the existing research needs expansion and updating. Therefore, this study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis aiming to identify research patterns and trends in the scientific literature on social innovation. Descriptive and performance analyses as well as research field mapping based on network analyses were performed. The most productive authors, sources, academic organizations, and countries in the social innovation literature were indicated. Moreover, the most influential authors and publications in the analyzed research field were determined. Furthermore, the evolution of social innovation research and the scientific collaboration in this area were shown and characterized. The analysis results were intended to show academics and practitioners an up-to-date, comprehensive picture of the multidisciplinary and multifaceted phenomenon of the research on social innovation.
