Who is driving the bus? An analysis of author and institution contributions to entrepreneurship research

Abstract

Given the considerable increase in entrepreneurship scholarship in the form of journal outlets, article publications, and university positions, it is important to identify the authors leading the charge to push the academic field forward. In this article, we provide an in-depth impact analysis of authors and their universities in terms of publishing high quality entrepreneurship research in leading entrepreneurship journals. Our analysis covers contributions made from 2011 to 2015 in the top six entrepreneurship-focused outlets. Study findings and implications are discussed.
