Abstract: This study aims to review the scientific research on born global firms' phenomena to date. Based on a bibliometric analysis of 453 scientific papers on born global firms from the Thompson Reuters's Web of Science™ Core Collection database for the period 1994–2016, the authors discuss the results from the following perspectives: general results, number of publications per year, the articles that other authors cite most, most eminent authors, journals with the highest citation per article, institutions with the highest citation per document, and countries with the highest productivity. This analysis provides networks of co-cited references, journals, and first authors, and their respective clusters, revealing their rankings in terms of contributions to the born global firms' literature. The results of the analysis can be used to enhance our understanding of born global firms' research and support further research in this area.
