The interest in social innovation research has increased exponentially in recent years. Despite the paramount importance of the phenomenon, there is plausible research dedicated to understanding the research trends and intellectual structure among “social innovation” actors (authors, institutes, countries, and journals). The paper presents a bibliometric analysis of social innovation research in the business and management domain. The analysis is conducted on 977 documents obtained from the Scopus database. The study period is selected from 2014 to 2023. The paper presents descriptive and network analysis through co-citation, bibliographic coupling, and keyword co-occurrence (2014-2023). VOS viewer and R studio’s Bilioshiny package are used for performing network analysis. The paper sheds light on the intellectual structure and evolution of social innovation research and also proposes directions for future research.
