# Journal of Business Venturing (journal-of-business-venturing)

## Journal positioning

Journal of Business Venturing (JBV), published by Elsevier, is one of the two flagship entrepreneurship journals and the premier outlet for research on the entrepreneurial process — new venture creation, opportunity identification and evaluation, and the behaviors and cognition of entrepreneurs. It rewards work that makes a clear contribution to entrepreneurship theory backed by rigorous empirics (or, less often, strong conceptual development). JBV is distinctively focused on the act and process of venturing, not generic small-business management or a strategy paper set among startups. The audience is entrepreneurship scholars, so the contribution must be entrepreneurship-central and theoretically grounded.

This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Elsevier / JBV site and the submission system.

## When to trigger

- The author names JBV (or the entrepreneurship flagship tier) as the venue.
- A paper studies the entrepreneurial process — opportunity identification, venture creation, entrepreneurial cognition/behavior, founding teams, or new-venture growth.
- A management/strategy paper set in startups needs re-framing around an entrepreneurship-theory contribution.
- The author needs JBV's desk-reject risks and a credible `entrepreneurship-theory-and-practice` / `strategic-management-journal` / `academy-of-management-journal` alternative list.
