Journal of Business Venturing Insights (JBV Insights) publishes thought-provoking research, highlighting ideas at the forefront of current discussions of entrepreneurial phenomena. Such ideas might not yet meet the threshold for completeness, robustness, or theoretical explication, but they are extremely valuable as they can stimulate further necessary research.


JBV Insights offers a platform for multiple disciplinary works and unconventional and silent scholarly voices. The journal is open to different disciplines and perspectives and thus welcomes papers that bring into entrepreneurship research ideas from within and beyond management scholarship, including the broader social and natural sciences. JBV Insights is also open to innovative methods and forms of theorizing. Through many of its initiatives, JBV Insights additionally aims to enhance the conversation among scholars and practitioners by offering a forum to disseminate novel and relevant entrepreneurship research rapidly.


JBV Insights' review process balances speed and rigor to ensure that novel ideas and robust studies are promptly available to the public. We aim to have manuscripts with the journal for no longer than three months (from submission to online publication [or rejection]). Manuscripts will be concise and widely available online via ScienceDirect.


JBV Insights welcomes three types of submissions.


Regular submissions: JBV Insights continuously welcomes submissions that align with its mission, offering innovative research and inspiring concepts geared toward the interests of entrepreneurship researchers. The journal is open to a variety of research approaches. Empirical submissions are greatly appreciated, and these could include elements such as unusual findings, atheoretical descriptions, non-findings, or the replication of established relationships. Furthermore, JBV Insights also welcomes single experiments that offer innovative perspectives. The journal also encourages theoretical submissions that stimulate thought and discussion through interesting examples or insightful juxtapositions. Other regular submissions might include simulations of entrepreneurial phenomena, papers developing measurement scales, and other methodological advances. Above all, JBV Insights aims to be as open as possible to different research approaches as long as they align with its mission to publish thought-provoking research.


Translational research: Translational research refers to distinct research activities where critical insights are passed between research modes so that discoveries made in basic social science can lead to improvements in entrepreneurial practice, communities and policy. Translational research in JBVI will thus translate descriptive propositional statements of facts and relationships that comprise theoretical knowledge into normative relationships between means and ends that provide actionable guides for practice. Translational research submission can include problematization, rapid response research, prospective inquiry, design science, participatory research, evidence reviews, among others. For more information about the Translational Research section, please take a look at the A translational framework for entrepreneurship research article, the design science initiative, the ER3 initiative and the Entrepreneurial problems and scholarly impact special issue.


Meaningful heterodoxies: This section aims to enhance scholarly conversations surrounding practices and processes in entrepreneurship that characteristically cut against the grain of conventional wisdom or majority opinion. This section offers a forum for the publication of cutting-edge scholarship related to nonconformist and dissenting experiences, circumstances, beliefs, taboos, cultures, and subcultures that entrepreneurs are immersed within that influence entrepreneurship. Note: For more information about the Meaningful Heterodoxies section, please take a look at the call for papers and the Editorial: "Meaningful Heterodoxies: Advancing Entrepreneurship Research Through Engagement with Unorthodox Customs, Beliefs, Cultural Dynamics, and Phenomena" Section editors: Robert Pidduck and Reg Tucker.
