Use when understanding how the Journal of Business Venturing (JBV) review process works — Co-EIC / area-editor routing, double-anonymized review by a minimum of two reviewers, desk-reject risk for off-phenomenon work, and reading a JBV decision letter. Explains the process and reads the letter; the response is drafted with jbv-rebuttal.

# Review Process (jbv-review-process)

## When to trigger

- You want to set expectations before or after submitting to JBV
- You received a decision letter and need to interpret it
- You are unsure who decides and what the bar is
- You want to gauge desk-reject risk before submitting

## How JBV review works

- **Area-editor routing**: ScienceDirect lists current Co-Editors-in-Chief Sophie Bacq and Simon Parker and an editorial-board structure with area editors by domain. Fit with the relevant area shapes both routing and outcome — make your home conversation obvious so the paper reaches a sympathetic, expert editor.
- **Double-anonymized review**: suitable manuscripts are sent to a **minimum of two reviewers**; neither side sees identities. Off-fit or insufficiently theorized papers may be **desk-rejected** by the editor before review — common at this FT50 flagship.
- **The bar**: reviewers and the handling editor judge whether the paper advances theory about the **entrepreneurial phenomenon**, not just whether the method is clean. "Entrepreneurship is only the setting" is a frequent reject rationale.
