Summary
Se ha elevado el número de trabajos que se publican en todas las áreas científicas y por ende ha aumentado el interés por desarrollar instrumentos que permitan el estudio de dichas áreas (Aleixandre Benavent, 2010). Es vista como una herramienta para estudiar y evaluar la producción, comunicación y uso de la información científica y su evolución (Carrizo Sainero, 2001). Con el objetivo de identificar las tendencias y la manera en que ha evolucionado el estudio de la intención emprendedora en general y en estudiantes universitarios, se desarrolló un análisis bibliométrico dividido en dos etapas: obtención de información (base de datos y ecuación de búsqueda), y obtención de indicadores bibliométricos (cantidad, calidad y estructura). Posteriormente, se explica cómo se obtuvo la información para el cálculo y análisis de los indicadores bibliométricos.
