Abstract: This study aims to examine the bibliometric analysis in family business research in Asia, as documented in the Scopus database from 1998 to 2023. A total of 649 documents were identified, providing insights into publication trends, country contributions, co-authorship networks, leading sources, and key research themes. The findings highlight major focus areas, including organizational identity, family-centric culture, succession planning, trust, government policy impacts, and the relationship between family ownership, performance, entrepreneurship, and corporate social responsibility. These insights are valuable for academics, policymakers, and practitioners looking to understand the evolving research landscape and explore future directions in family business studies in Asia.
