The Senior Editors of the Journal of Business Venturing and EIX.org are excited to announce that Entrepreneur & Innovation Exchange (EIX) is partnering with the
Journal of Business Venturing (JBV) to bring JBV's research-proven insights and practical advice to EIX's audience of current and future entrepreneurs, innovators, the partners and investors who support them, students and professors.
https://eiexchange.com/content/EIX-partners-with-the-journal-of-business-venturingJBV, a leading journal in the field of entrepreneurship, is a top source of peer-reviewed research on entrepreneurship, innovation, new venture finance, social entrepreneurship and other related topics. The journal publishes entrepreneurship research rooted in economics, psychology, and sociology and welcomes research from other disciplines such as anthropology, geography, and history.
EIX, founded in 2014 through the generous support of the founder and former chairman of Best Buy, Richard M. Schulze, aims to help more entrepreneurs and innovators be successful. Since 2014 readership for EIX and its sister publication, Familybusiness.org, has grown to nearly 6 million page views and more than 3.5 million visitors each year. Today EIX and Familybusiness.org continue to receive support from the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation. Because of his generosity both sites are free to use.
Both of these sites aim to provide practicing entrepreneurs rigorously tested insights about the factors that lead to success. These insights can often be found in the research published in top entrepreneurship journals such as JBV. EIX will be working collaboratively with JBV's published authors to create short, practice-focused articles that condense each study's key findings to provide actionable advice and insights to entrepreneurs and those who work with them. Our first research translation under this new partnership, on how your voice can impact the success of your crowdfunding campaign, can be read here.
This new partnership is an extension of existing research translation partnerships with Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal and the Journal of Family Business Strategy. For more information on these partnerships can be found here. EIX and Familybusiness.org's translations of scholarly research have been viewed more than 560,000 times. Several recent research translations have attracted more than 70,000 views each; many have attracted more than 7,000. Our articles have also encouraged more people to explore the scholarly research, increasing the number of downloads of the original study.
As part of its partnership with JBV, the journal's publisher, Elsevier, has agreed to make downloads of the original study open access for a limited time. Each EIX Editor's Choice research translation will include a link to the original paper for people who want to explore the research more deeply.
