Abstract: Before becoming seasoned scholars, novice entrepreneurship researchers begin with a doctoral journey to learn how to do relevant research. This chapter explores how to combine coherence and effectiveness in entrepreneurship doctoral article-based dissertation. To understand the rise of the article-based dissertation in entrepreneurship, the authors look back at its origins (massification of scientific production, standardization and professionalization of the doctoral path) and then identify the major issues and challenges of the doctoral pathway for doctoral students, supervisors and research laboratories in a competitive international context. Based on an integrative literature review, this chapter highlights the reasons why the article-based thesis can be is a ‘good' answer to these issues and challenges by analyzing the semantic fields around ‘paper/article-based thesis' and what educational science research tells about ‘paper-based writing' versus ‘monograph'. Finally, the authors suggest to both PhD candidates and supervisors key issues, guidelines including a canva (ABPhD2 Canva, license Creative Commons CC-BY-NC-ND) and avenues for reflection to ensure the coherence and effectiveness on an article-based PhD dissertation in entrepreneurship.
