Born Global Firms WoS dataset

In this study, the authors searched for all articles with the words “born-global”, “born global”, “born globals”, “international new venture”, “international new ventures”, “rapid internationalization”, “new global business”, “new global businesses”, “fast internationalizers”, “early internationalizers” as the query to search the following fields within a record: Title, Abstract, Author Keywords, and Keywords Plus®. Because of the nature of collecting papers by the query, the corpus included papers that are not relevant to our strict criteria. Accordingly, it was necessary to analyze Title, Abstract and Keywords fields of retrieved documents, respectively. In consequence, the collection of 453 papers published between 1994 and 2016 was obtained. This set was then fixed as the basis for all future analysis.

本研究中，研究者以天生全球化企业（born-global）、天生全球化企业（born global）、天生全球化企业（born globals）、国际新创企业（international new venture）、国际新创企业（international new ventures）、快速国际化（rapid internationalization）、新兴全球企业（new global business）、新兴全球企业（new global businesses）、快速国际化企业（fast internationalizers）、早期国际化企业（early internationalizers）作为检索词，对文献记录的标题、摘要、作者关键词以及Keywords Plus®字段进行检索。由于仅通过上述检索式收集文献，所得文献集合中包含了不符合本研究严格纳入标准的文献。因此，需分别对检索所得文献的标题、摘要与关键词字段进行逐一分析筛选。最终得到1994年至2016年间发表的453篇文献，该数据集被确立为后续所有分析的基础。
