Abstract

ABSTRACT: The Journal of Small Business Management is a highly respected journal, which publishes research about small business and entrepreneurship. Using bibliometric analysis, this study presents an overview of the major trends and themes in the journal's published content from 1996 to 2019. Over the years, the journal has grown significantly in terms of both publications and citations, with authors from the United States remaining the dominant contributors to the journal. The bibliographic coupling of the articles reveals that entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship education, family firms, board composition, and internationalization are among the major themes pursued by contributors.
