American Journal of Entrepreneurship
CSU’s Turner College of
Business is home to the editorial offices of a number of academic
journals. One of these is the American Journal of Entrepreneurship,
whose founding editor is Kirk Heriot,
professor of management and holder of the Ray and Evelyn Crowley Chair. The AJE
launched about 15 years ago, and its mission is to increase knowledge of
entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs in the many ways they manifest themselves in
the global economy. About 25 percent of
manuscripts that are submitted to the AJE
are eventually accepted for publication.
In addition to Heriot, the Editorial Board includes Scott Manley of
Midwestern State University, David Mitchell of the University of Central
Arkansas, and Alicia Plemmons of Southern Illinois University –
Edwardsville. Recently, the AJE has added a managing editor
role. That position is held by Michael
Brizek of Lander University. Currently,
the most cited paper in the AJE is
titled “Economic Freedom, Entrepreneurship, and Income Levels: Some U.S.
State-Level Empirics.” This study,
authored by Travis Wiseman and Andrew Young of West Virginia University, examine whether productive (unproductive)
entrepreneurial activity is associated with higher (lower) levels or growth
rates of income. Additionally, it aims
to “connect the dots” by asking whether higher institutional quality (i.e.,
greater economic freedom) affects income primarily through its effects on
entrepreneurial activity. Published in
2013, this study has been cited 74 times according to Google Scholar.
