    Amanda (and colleagues),

    I took the word "risky" from the Chronicle story and mixed it with another concept (not named in my note): heterodox (as economists might say), or just plain unusual. But I think the main thing is risk. To me, this means trying work that has potentially high rewards but also potentially minimal or unpublishable results. I think this is correlated with innovation. On the upside, there are other possible "rewards" but one of these would be innovation in the sense of breaking new ground. On the downside, contrary to your reviewing approach, journals do not do well with work that is difficult to pidgeonhole and hence review. And I think this is getting worse, not better, with journals becoming harder to distinguish globally (in approach and style if not quality).

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Dear Alex and friends,

     

    Are you aware that there is a current call for a special issue in IJEBR on precisely this issue. Sarah Dodd and colleagues from Strathclyde ask for papers about "radical entrepreneurship".

     

    Sincerely
