Mapping The Nexus: A Bibliometric Study on the impact of Entrepreneurship Education on Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 1) in Nigeria

Abstract

This paper is a bibliometric study to extrapolate the richness of scholarly publications in recognising the interconnectedness of entrepreneurship education and poverty alleviation in attaining Sustainable Development Goal 1 (SDG 1) in Nigeria. It examines various academic publications to highlight thematic clusters, identify key contributors, and map the intellectual dynamics in this field in Nigeria. The study assesses intellectual structures that include the number of publications, identified trends and the most prolific authors that contribute to the field. Through citation analysis, the study determines highly cited and influential publications in these fields to examine their content and contribution to scholarship. Keyword analysis was used to identify evolving themes and research topics within entrepreneurship education and SDG 1 to map their development in the last five years. The study finds strong research collaborations and recommends more collaboration between scholars from the global West and Nigeria for greater achievement of SDG.
