 The evolution of business incubation practices over the years: a bibliometric analysisAidin Salamzadeh (), Jumana Nalakam Paramba and Samsudheen Karuthedath International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Small Business, 2024, vol. 53, issue 2, 147-162 Abstract: Incubation centres and accelerators are designed to help startups succeed by providing some service packs. Then, studies on business incubation have become increasingly important. The current study maps and analyses the academic literature on business incubation methods using bibliometric analysis. Vosviewer software is used, and papers published in the Scopus database between 1988 and 2021 are scrutinised further to determine publication trends, most used keywords, most published journals, and countries and institutions in the field of business incubation studies. We discovered that the number of papers published has recently increased, with the most published in 2020. Similarly, the USA took first place in publications. Besides, the study contributes to academics, startup founders and policyholders. It allows academics to identify publication trends. Similarly, it provides a thorough understanding of the services supplied by business incubators. Finally, it could help policyholders devise relevant policies. Keywords: business incubation; bibliometric analysis; startups; Vosviewer.
