Abstract: The paper provides a socio-semantic analysis of the scientific network that underlies research on digital entrepreneurial ecosystems. We propose a unique methodology that combines the analysis of the structural properties of the co-authorship network with the semantic specificities that shape the sub-communities that interact within the field. The results show that despite the signs of scientific integration, important scientific issues are still understudied, such as the challenge of fostering entrepreneurial ecosystems for the digital platformization of industrial incumbents and the ambivalent effects of digital platform development on the future of industrial clusters. The method has practical implications that can be used to enhance the design of collaborative incentives in research project calls.
