| description | Social innovation (SI)
is a relatively new field of research that is generating interest in the scientific community. This article presents a bibliometric review of research on SI in the period 1971-2021. 1,796 publications were analyzed, and bibliometric methods of performance analysis and scientific mapping were handled. In the performance analysis, several bibliometric indicators were used, such as the h-index, productivity, and citations. In addition, the VOSviewer software was employed to map the bibliographic material. Scientific mapping used co-citation and keyword co-occurrence techniques. References were obtained from the Scopus database. The most relevant research in the field of SI was identified and classified, taking journals, countries, institutions, authors, and publications as units of analysis. The results showed that research in IS has increased considerably since 2009. The United Kingdom positioned itself as the most productive and influential country in this field. Sustainability Journal showed the best combination of productivity and influence in the field of SI. Frank Moulaert turned out to be the most important author of research on IS. Emerging research topics related to SI were sustainability and social entrepreneurship.

La innovación social (IS) es un campo de investigación relativamente nuevo que está generando interés en la comunidad científica. Este artículo presenta una revisión bibliométrica de la investigación sobre IS en el periodo 1971-2021. Las referencias se obtuvieron de la base de datos Scopus. Se identificó y clasificó la investigación más relevante del campo de IS tomando como unidades de análisis revistas, países, instituciones, autores y publicaciones. Se analizaron 1796 publicaciones y se utilizaron los métodos bibliométricos de análisis de desempeño y mapeo científico. En el análisis de desempeño se manejaron varios indicadores bibliométricos como el índice h, la productividad y las citas. Además, el software VOSviewer se utilizó para mapear el material bibliográfico. El mapeo científico usó las técnicas de cocitas y coocurrencia de palabras clave. Los resultados mostraron que la investigación en IS ha aumentado considerablemente desde 2009. Reino Unido se posicionó como el país más productivo e influyente en este campo. La revista Sustainability mostró la mejor combinación de productividad e influencia en el campo de la IS. Frank Moulaert resultó ser el autor más importante de investigaciones sobre IS. Los temas emergentes de investigación relacionados con la IS fueron la sustentabilidad y el emprendimiento social. Códigos JEL: O31, Y10, Z00 Recibido: 11/02/2022. Aceptado: 14/09/2022.
