Abstract: Entrepreneurship has been one of the oldest activities among human beings. It forms the foundation for any economy. Due to the dynamic nature of the business environment, an entrepreneur faces numerous barriers in setting up a new venture. This study focuses on the analysis of research history and previous works in the field of barriers in entrepreneurship. The aim of this research is to provide a bibliometric overview of the field related to barriers in entrepreneurship using VOS viewer software and the Biblioshiny application. The objective is to organise the past research data and draw meaningful conclusions for future researchers. The bibliometric data was collected from the Scopus database. The bibliometric analysis involved both performance analysis and science mapping. Performance analysis is based on the annual scientific production; productivity of authors, countries, and sources; influence of the authors; and citations received by documents and sources. However, science mapping focuses on the analysis related to co-authorship of authors, organisations, and countries; co-occurrence of keywords, and bibliometric coupling of countries. The results show that the area has extensive research history, along with a few emerging fields having scope for further research. The present study will assist scholars and academicians working in the field of barriers in entrepreneurship to ponder the most important subjects and identifying gaps in the literature.
