Abstract: The study analyses the academic discourse on entrepreneurship in Scopus during COVID-19 crisis to clarify the dominant topics and their evolution over time. Methodologically, the study has two phases: the first was to apply topic modelling by year of publication; the second was to apply grounded theory coding to interpret the topics generated. The results are shown in a research framework with four components: studies trying to better understand COVID-19 crisis impact on business and entrepreneurship; studies showing the entrepreneur's needs to learn how to respond to the pandemic, where characteristics like be innovative, creative, risk taker and proactive are crucial; studies introducing public policies which can help economy's reactivation; and studies focusing on sustainability in the new normal. Finally, the study highlights some interesting avenues for further research where the impact can be more relevant.
