These firms are unique due to the embeddedness of family elements in their operation. The involvement of family members in the management and operation of such organizations is termed "familiness". Scholars have proposed familiness as a unique resource for family businesses, which can be leveraged by top management to gain a competitive advantage. However, thus far, the discussion on the concept of familiness has lacked a systematic and bird-eye review perspective, which has hindered understanding of the overall body of knowledge. To bridge this gap, a bibliometric analysis was employed to analyse the patterns and trends in past studies on familiness. The dataset consists of 149 articles retrieved from the SCOPUS database and imported into the Biblioshiny interface using the Bibliometrix R package. Analysis showed that familiness studies are growing and familiness concept is developing. Ten themes related to the familiness were identified, with the major ones include the development of the familiness concept, attributes and characteristics of a family business, and concerns for organizational growth and continuity. The findings of this bibliometric study, which is the first performed on the topic of familiness, offer recommendations for future research to further explore the role of familiness in facilitating family businesses’ strategic imperatives, such as internationalisation efforts, in ensuring the continuity of these firms across generations.en-USbibliometric analysis, bibliometrix, familiness, family business, family resources, R-package;Article32733782 (Nov)
