The article "The Art of Crafting a Systematic Literature Review in Entrepreneurship Research" by Sascha Kraus, Matthias Breier, and Sonia Dasí-Rodríguez discusses the importance and methodology of systematic literature reviews (SLRs) in the field of entrepreneurship. SLRs are increasingly used to synthesize existing literature, but they often face desk rejections due to a lack of quality. The authors provide a concrete guideline for authors and graduate students to write contribution-focused SLRs, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses, and offering a list of highly ranked journals as a basis for quality appraisal. They also explore the future of SLR methodology, highlighting how technological improvements have changed the field and what can be achieved in the future. The article emphasizes the need for a systematic approach in literature reviews, distinguishing it from traditional, subjective reviews. SLRs are characterized by transparency, reproducibility, and objectivity, aiming to answer specific research questions and provide evidence-based insights. The authors outline the steps for conducting an SLR, including planning, identifying and evaluating studies, extracting and synthesizing data, and disseminating findings. They stress the importance of a well-defined research question, a transparent protocol, and a balanced focus on breadth and depth. In the context of entrepreneurship, the authors discuss the unique challenges and opportunities, such as the rapid growth of sub-fields and the need for clear definitions and common language. They provide specific advice on literature search strategies, data extraction, and synthesis, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary teams and the use of peer-reviewed journal articles. The article concludes with a list of concrete tips for conducting an SLR, highlighting the role of technology in enhancing the process and increasing its objectivity.The article "The Art of Crafting a Systematic Literature Review in Entrepreneurship Research" by Sascha Kraus, Matthias Breier, and Sonia Dasí-Rodríguez discusses the importance and methodology of systematic literature reviews (SLRs) in the field of entrepreneurship.
