Advancing Entrepreneurship Science with Meta-Analysis

  • 6 septembre 2026
    Call for papers published

Description

This special issue seeks to advance entrepreneurship science through rigorous meta-analytic and systematic review methodologies. The call invites researchers to synthesize existing empirical findings in entrepreneurship, identifying patterns, contradictions, and knowledge gaps across the field. Meta-analyses can help consolidate fragmented research literatures and provide more robust conclusions about entrepreneurial phenomena.

The special issue is particularly interested in quantitative syntheses that examine both the drivers and outcomes of entrepreneurship, comparative assessments of different entrepreneurial approaches, and methodological innovations in applying meta-analytic techniques to entrepreneurship research. Contributions should leverage meta-analysis to advance theoretical understanding and practical knowledge in the entrepreneurship domain.
