Tips for Success

Entrepreneurship research fuels entrepreneurial activity and helps educators make a lasting impact on the field.

Published research is the backbone of academic careers, and publishing in top journals helps elevate both individual and departmental impact. The Babson Fellows Program for Entrepreneurship Researchers is an immersive online academic writing workshop for all entrepreneurship scholars to gain a profound understanding of entrepreneurship research.

This program will help entrepreneurship scholars gain a better understanding of the landscape of entrepreneurship research including the history, methodology, and research opportunities. Over three weeks, you will receive coaching and mentoring from top entrepreneurship faculty and peers, and you will leave with a six-month work plan that will enable you to submit a finished paper to a journal for consideration.

Nurture Your Writing Skills

Are you an entrepreneurship educator wishing to publish articles based on your dissertation research or hoping to develop a secondary research stream? Do you value mentorship and peer-to-peer collaboration in developing your research agenda and publishing your work? Babson’s entrepreneurship faculty has published extensively in top journals, edited numerous book chapters, and knows the ins and outs of navigating the challenges of getting published.

This program teaches you to plan your publication process well, covering everything from the writing process to navigating institutional pressures to selecting co-authors to finding the right mentoring and support to managing your time and resources all the way to getting your paper published. Get a taste of what Professors Candida Brush and William Gartner will teach you by watching their video with tips for success in the publishing process.

Steps to a Published Paper

Understand the Intricacies of the Publishing Process

This is much more than an academic writing workshop. Throughout these three weeks, you will be coached as a writer while receiving invaluable feedback from an esteemed panel of peers, editors, faculty members, and world-renowned experts culminating in a concrete, actionable six-month plan to have your written article ready for submission. 

Elevate your dissertation research, develop a secondary research stream, prepare conference proposals, and build a strong portfolio of academic publications while growing your network in the field. There also will be a 30-day follow-up to encourage continued momentum.

Identify and clear roadblocks in your research career

Publishing research in top journals and getting it in front of the most relevant audiences requires careful planning and hard work. Knowing your strengths and weaknesses in navigating the process, seeking out help from peers, and learning from top faculty in the field will help you narrow your focus and equip you with the knowledge and mindset needed to elevate your scholarship.

How and when will I have access to the course materials?

Course materials are provided via Canvas, Babson’s online learning portal. Materials will be made available to participants approximately one to seven days prior to the first live online session, depending on the amount of pre-work that participants are expected to complete in advance.

The schedule will be sent to registered participants in the registration confirmation email (see the link in your confirmation email to the EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW document).

Do I need to join the virtual sessions live? Will they be recorded?

We highly recommend that participants join the live online sessions. It is an opportunity to ask questions, participate in rich discussion, and learn from the experience of your program peers. Session recordings will not consistently be available, and as such, it is expected that participants engage live in the virtual sessions.

What technology do you use for the live online programs?

  • Canvas, Babson’s online learning portal—course calendar, readings, pre-work, faculty bios, presentations and post-session recordings are posted here.
  • Video-conferencing Platform—we will use a virtual meeting application (like Webex or Zoom) that allows you to see and communicate with other participants simultaneously and in real time. Your instructor can share documents and interactive media, invite participants to share content, and engage with you in real-time participation. Links to sessions and more information will be provided on Canvas.

What do I need to participate? How do I prepare for the live online sessions?

  1. We recommend a computer/laptop with a webcam (built in or external camera) for optimal viewing, but you also may join from a tablet or cell phone
  2. Internet connection or cell hotspot
  3. Operating system: Windows: 7, 8.1, or 10; Apple: OS 10.9 or higher
