This study aims to explore the scholarly structure and trends in the scientific debate on socioemotional wealth (SEW) in family business studies. We analyse 294 publications focused on SEW published to date in any sources of the Scopus database. Using a bibliometric analysis, we identify the scientific community debating SEW in terms of publication activity for authors, journals and countries and the publication’s impact measured in terms of citation for authors and per year. Moreover, to picture the main themes researched, we develop a co-word analysis on the most used keywords by authors using social network analysis tools. This paper provides a preliminary description of the state-of-art in SEW literature, identifying and potential future research directions for the consolidation of the literature on SEW.

Abstract
This study aims to explore the scholarly structure and trends in the scientific debate on socioemotional wealth (SEW) in family business studies. We analyse 294 publications focused on SEW published to date in any sources of the Scopus database. Using a bibliometric analysis, we identify the scientific community debating SEW in terms of publication activity for authors, journals and countries and the publication’s impact measured in terms of citation for authors and per year. Moreover, to picture the main themes researched, we develop a co-word analysis on the most used keywords by authors using social network analysis tools. This paper provides a preliminary description of the state-of-art in SEW literature, identifying and potential future research directions for the consolidation of the literature on SEW.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
