Entrepreneurship & Regional Development is classified 3* (out of 4) in the CharteredAssociation of Business Schools Academic Journal Quality Guide
Aims
Entrepreneurship and Regional Development is a leading entrepreneurship journal that publishes interesting, courageous papers, which make a contribution to theory for understanding the extraordinary phenomenon of entrepreneurship. We look for papers that are thought-provoking and robust because of what and how they add to our knowledge, appreciation and understanding of entrepreneurship.
Novelty requires both courage and rigor. We strongly encourage authors to test and challenge theoretical assumptions, and engage with appropriate methodologies to capture the realities of the lived entrepreneurial experience and the unique challenges that entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial firms, regions and countries are facing today.
Scope
Our scope is wide and reflects the many forms of entrepreneurship and the many regions where entrepreneurship takes place. Moreover, entrepreneurship is a very broad phenomenon, not only in types but in the varieties of forms and functions. There are many diverse approaches and topics within our field so we avoid prescription.
Entrepreneurship and Regional Development publishes purely conceptual papers, but our threshold for argumentation and novel theoretical contribution is high. Similarly, empirical papers should go beyond merely adding another variable and testing it, and contribute to extending and building theory in our domain. Given the multifaceted nature of entrepreneurship, we welcome articles from all disciplines, such as management, organization studies, social sciences and humanities.
The geographies of entrepreneurship are also important for Entrepreneurship and Regional Development. This is because entrepreneurship happens in places; a dynamic interplay exists among layers of context(s), entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship. In fact, places change entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship changes places. Places are the forum of but also a platform for many different spatial, temporal, relational and socio-cognitive contexts. Moreover, places are where social, economic and cultural structures and dynamics are enacted and thus they open up so much scope for interesting and useful enquiries. Entrepreneurship and Regional Development papers recognise the geography, temporality and relationality of entrepreneuring.
In summary, Entrepreneurship and Regional Development provides a scholarly forum for academics, policy-makers and practitioners, which ignites timely discussions and underscores important research agendas that advance the field of entrepreneurship.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
