Abstract (2. Language): 
Purpose: Literature review of existing academic spin-offs in order to present the current situation at the international level. Design/methodology: Literature review. Findings: The bibliometric analysis of the literature (1990-2014) on academic spin-off permits find the most relevant authors, journals, both directly (number of publications) and indirectly (number of citations) contribute to the literature, analysis co-authors, keywords, geolocation and co-citation between articles. The scientific production in this field consists mainly of articles written in English in high impact journals (published mainly in recent years), indicating both the field today, as the interest in high impact journals published studies relating to the spin-off. The incidence of a large number of authors who publish only a single job, besides the small number of collaborations between them, it find out what the current literature is still growing. Research limitations/implications: Similarly to other studies, this is not without limitations. A possible limitation of the study lies in the possible non-inclusion of one of the key items considered in the literature, but not for lack of methodology, but rather by the scope of the database. Originality/value: The added value of this study lies in an updated review of the literature spin-off with little use of analysis techniques used in this field.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Objecte: Revisió de la literatura existent de les spin-off acadèmiques amb l’objecte de presentar la situació actual de la producció científica d’aquest camp. Disseny/metodologia: Anàlisi bibliomètrica. Aportacions i resultats: L’anàlisi bibliomètrica de la literatura (1990-2014) sobre spin-off acadèmiques ha permès identificar als autors més rellevants, les revistes que tant directament (nombre de publicacions) com indirectament (nombre de cites) contribueixen a la literatura, l’anàlisi de coautoria, paraules clau, la geolocalització i cocitació entre els articles. La producció científica d’aquest camp està composta principalment per articles escrits en anglès, en revistes d’alt impacte (publicats principalment als últims anys), el que indica tant l’actualitat del camp, com l’interès de revistes d’alt impacte de publicar estudis referents a les spin-off. La incidència d’un nombre elevat d’autors que sols publiquen un sol treball, a més del nombre reduït de col·laboracions entre ells, identifica que la literatura actual està en procés de creixement i d’elevat potencial. Limitacions: De forma anàloga a altres estudis, aquest no està exempt de limitacions. Una possible limitació del estudi resideix en la possible no inclusió d'algun dels articles potencialment rellevants a la literatura, no per falta de metodologia, sinó més bé per l’abast de la base de dades (és la més important però no és l’única). Valor afegit: El valor afegit d’aquest estudi resideix en una revisió actualitzada de la literatura spin-off amb tècniques d’anàlisi poc utilitzades en aquest camp.
