Abstract: Abstract It has been twenty years since the first special issue on Environmental Entrepreneurship (EE) was published in 1998. Since then, the number of papers on this subject has increased unceasingly. Such a high rate of publications calls for a more quantitative approach to synthesize and evaluate the literature. Therefore, this paper aims to assess the research on EE through a bibliometric study of 267 journal articles published between 1992 and 2019. Data was collected from the Web of Science (WoS) database and analyzed using performance indicators and science mapping. The paper portrays the development of EE research over time; identifies the most influential articles, journals, and countries; and unveils the intellectual structure of the field. These results can be used to enhance the understanding of EE and support further research in this area. This bibliometric study is one of the first to be concerned with the field of EE and completes already existing systematic literature reviews.
