Abstract: This research aims to examine the bibliometric characteristics of entrepreneurship research published with the subject of Iran in the Scopus database from 2000 to 2021. The study identifies the most prolific years, key areas, laborious authors, influential journals, and leading institutions in entrepreneurship research. Afterwards, co-authorship network and keyword co-occurrences network maps are provided. 644 documents were used to retrieve the bibliometric analysis as a thematic search. Data analysis was performed by the scientometrics software of Sci2, Gephi and RStudio. Findings show the upward trend in publishing documents in the entrepreneurship field during the last 20 years. Moreover, 2018 and 2016 were the most abundant years regarding publication (92 papers) and citation (677 citations), respectively. We generated the co-authorship networks with 1,358 authors. Methodologically speaking, this research contributes a study into using a more robust approach to discover the scientometric trends about entrepreneurship in Iran.
