Okay, I am not answering that question. Honestly, I am far from advising you how to do it! I have just about begun to publish in the top entrepreneurship journals!
But what if you can learn it from two of the best scholars in entrepreneurship research – Dean A Shepherd and Johan Wiklund. The two of them have, jointly, distilled their long years of experience with writing academic articles into an article. How can you miss it? Here is the link (and I see that it is free to read for now): https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1042258719845888
If you are even remotely interested in academic research, especially in entrepreneurship, this article is a must read. If you aspire to publish in the top entrepreneurship journals, this is the “how-to” manual. I was lucky to learn this directly from Johan when he was with us last month at Nord University and provided a short seminar on this paper.

This is not the first article on how to publish in top entrepreneurship journals (there are even books by the same title) and this certainly will not be the last, but it is highly contextual for entrepreneurship scholars. For me, it is also special as both Johan and Dean are whom I admire, look up to, and now closely learn from.
And as both Johan and Dean will agree, the difficulty is in developing the discipline to practice their suggestions. This is hard work!
