ABSTRACT The evaluation of the research in SMES and entrepreneurship has been the subject of several research works. These works have been made particularly in the anglo-saxon countries, Busenitz et al (2003) , Meyer and al, (2014), Frank Lasch sees and Said Yami in the francophone countries and Jose C. Sánchez Andrea Gutierrez (2011) in the Spanish-speaking countries. However, this type of research is absent in the emerging countries such as Morocco, hence the usefulness of this work. . The aims of this research is to evaluate the moroccan research in SMES and entrepreneurship. The work is based on the census of 237 articles published between 2005 and 2012 in the three main scientific journals of management in Morocco: the Moroccan journal of management control, the Moroccan journal of commerce and management and the Moroccan journal of Research in Management and Marketing. Keywords : Research Evaluation, SMES, entrepreneurship, historical approach. 1. INTRODUCTION The search field of entrepreneurship receives more and more attention on the part of policy makers and researchers from developed countries and the developing countries, and in Morocco, this field of research has become since more than decade a preferred strategy of public authorities (Taouab, O, 2014). This field of research has experienced an exponential growth since more than half a century (Fayolle, 2000). In effect, of barely a handful of magazines 30 years ago it has exceeded the bar of 100 journals in English. For Aldrich and Baker (1997), the research in SMES and entrepreneurship has begun to attract the interest of researchers, but as a research field it has made only limited progress as scientific discipline normal. Similarly, Harrison and Leitch (1996) have found that entrepreneurship research published in journals of management from 1987 to 1993 represent a very small percentage of all the research on this area, and that the vast majority of these research is published in journals dedicated to entrepreneurship and small business. The management training started late in Morocco, in the 90s of the last century, (Ahsina K, 2012), and the management is a relatively new area of research. By against in Morocco, to our knowledge, no analysis of scientific journals in the field of entrepreneurship has yet been made, hence, the worth of such work. Therefore, the main question to which this work will try to provide a reply is the following: - Is there a Moroccan research in this field? If the response is positive, is there a theoretical preference in this research? - What themes are studied, the methodologies used and the researchers the most productive? Accordingly, our article will be structured in the following way: it begins with a review of the literature on the scientific publications in entrepreneurship (section 1). It is continued by the description of the methodology (Section 2). The results obtained are exposed then (section 3). And to conclude we will discuss the main results.
