This article provides a bibliometric review based on 267 articles obtained from the Web of Science and SCOPUS databases. The objectives defined for this study were (1) to describe how the publications in this scientific area are organized concerning authors and the evolution of scientific production in the period under analysis; (2) to identify the most cited publications and authors; (3) to understand which scientific journals and countries have the highest scientific production in this area; and (4) to identify future research opportunities. To achieve the defined objectives, the database analysis focused on bibliometric indicators in the first phase. We conclude that ethnic entrepreneurship is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon, having implications in different communities and territories. Therefore, in addition to identifying and analyzing the main streams of the identified literature, this paper not only provides an overview of the state of the art and contributes to understanding ethnic entrepreneurship but also identifies an agenda for future research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
