Abstract submission suggestions
The following suggestions are provided in response to how to improve the chances that your abstract will be accepted: - The importance of the topic for entrepreneurship research and practice is explicit. These papers open up new research frontiers or offer new insights or perspectives that enrich discussion and discourse. Theory and empirical papers should address important, timely and relevant topics.
- Theoretical papers should identify important phenomena, reconcile raging debates, or offer new theoretical perspectives. Reviewers expect theory papers to have a well-articulated argument and clearly delineated constructs.
- Empirical papers should clearly explain the methods used to collect and analyze the data. Sources of data should also be clearly stated. It is also useful to state the current stage of data collection and when you expect to complete the data collection and analysis.
- The reviewers will consider the potential for completion of the work described in the abstract.
- Reviewers consider that authors of accepted abstracts entered with good faith, and that the analysis proposed will be completely completed in time for the conference.
- Do not include references, tables, and the like in the abstract. Also, as noted elsewhere, your name or contact information should NOT appear anywhere in the document.
