This paper describes the evolution of the family firm research over the 1961-2008 time period. We have compiled a database of the 684 articles focused on the field published in journals included in the Social Science Citation Index. Bibliometric methods and techniques are used to describe the evolution of publication activity, the most active institutions, the methodologies applied, and the main subjects researched. Based on these analyses, potential avenues for future research are proposed to advance in the consolidation of the field as a scientific discipline.
