This article, which began as an effort to gauge trends in and contributions to the broad field of "entrepreneur/entrepreneurship," reviews 5,476 academic articles on entrepreneurship that were published in 522 Social Sciences Citation Index and Science Citation Index journals from 1996 to June 2012. This survey identifies keywords and conducts a review to search for and identify related articles in the Institute for Scientific Information Web of Science database. We then present our findings, including the number of publications by year, categorization of article types, main academic journals, authors, and most-cited articles. The citation counts for authors, journals, and articles are also analyzed. This study indicates that the number of articles related to the keyword entrepreneur increased from 1996 to the end of 2011, which is a sign of an upward trend in the influence of entrepreneurs. Entrepreneur research fascinated numerous scholars during the study period covering 16.5 years. In particular, researchers from the USA, England, Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands have made the most contributions to this field. This literature review provides evidence that the concept of entrepreneur attracted academic researchers, resulting in significant contributions to the field of entrepreneur research.
本文最初旨在评估“企业家/创业”这一广泛领域的趋势和贡献，回顾了1996年至2012年6月期间发表在522种社会科学引文索引和科学引文索引期刊上的5476篇关于创业的学术文章。这项调查确定了关键词，并进行了回顾，以在科学信息研究所的科学网数据库中搜索和识别相关文章。然后我们展示我们的研究结果，包括每年的出版物数量、文章类型分类、主要学术期刊、作者以及被引用次数最多的文章。还分析了作者、期刊和文章的被引用次数。这项研究表明，与关键词“企业家”相关的文章数量从1996年到2011年底有所增加，这是企业家影响力呈上升趋势的一个迹象。在涵盖16.5年的研究期间，企业家研究吸引了众多学者。特别是，来自美国、英国、加拿大、德国和荷兰的研究人员对该领域做出了最大贡献。这篇文献综述提供了证据，证明企业家的概念吸引了学术研究人员，从而为企业家研究领域做出了重大贡献。
