“…The prominence of these keywords suggests a growing interest in the potential for CF to serve as an effective tool for promoting sustainability and empowering female entrepreneurs in developing countries (Groza et al, 2020;Vismara, 2019). The geographical focus on countries such as Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Pakistan highlights the particular relevance of these issues in regions with high levels of poverty and economic inequality (Ab-Rahim and Shah, 2019;Akhter, 2018). Furthermore, the inclusion of keywords such as "blockchain" and "governance" indicates a growing interest in exploring decentralized platforms and transparent governance structures as means to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of CF initiatives (Nguyen et al, 2021).…”

PurposeCrowdfunding (CF) has become an increasingly popular means of financing for entrepreneurs and has attracted significant attention from both researchers and practitioners in recent years. The purpose of this study is to investigate the core content and knowledge diffusion paths in the CF field. Specifically, we aim to identify the main topics and themes that have emerged in this field and to trace the evolution of CF knowledge over time.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs co-word clustering and main path analysis (MPA) to examine the historical development of CF research based on 1,528 journal articles retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database.FindingsThe results of the analysis reveal that CF research focuses on seven themes: sustainability, entrepreneurial finance, entrepreneurship, fintech, social entrepreneurship, social capital, and microcredits. The analysis of the four main paths reveals that equity CF has been the dominant topic in the past years. Recently, CF research has tended to focus on topics such as fintech, the COVID-19 pandemic, competition, Brexit, and policy response.Originality/valueTo the authors' best knowledge, this is the first attempt to explore knowledge diffusion dynamics in the CF field. Overall, the study offers a structure for analyzing the paths through which knowledge is diffused, enabling scholars to effectively manage a large volume of research papers and gain a deeper understanding of the historical, current, and future trends in the development of CF.
