Abstract
The purpose of this article is to offer a synopsis of the progression in scholarly research in social business enterprises (SBE). The study entails bibliometric analysis, and bibliographic data visualisation using the Scopus database, generating alluvial diagrams using Rawgraphs platform and identification of thematic clusters in SBE research. The results of our bibliometric analysis show that there is significant growth in the number of publications in the research domain of SBE, with a thematic focus in particular areas. Our scientiometric research shall also act as a point of reference on the extant and embryonic topics, designs and methodological choices for future SBE studies.
