Abstract

The aim of this article is to review the emerging research on entrepreneurial ecosystems and knowledge spillovers in general, and in the sport field in particular through bibliometric and content analysis. Thus, a bibliometric analysis of the articles published on the Web of Science has been performed. In the general field, a total of 31 articles were found, while in the sport field, the number was very limited. The evolution of papers published by year, country, and journal were analysed in both fields. Moreover, author co-occurrence analysis and bibliographic coupling were performed for the general field. Then, the content of the articles was analysed to identify the main topics within these research fields. The results highlight that both fields are novel areas of research, with the general field exhibiting great growth, while the sport field is still in its infancy. Finally, future avenues for these fields of research are presented.
