Abstract: As entrepreneurship emerges into an independent field of study, it is important for scholars and administrators to have a good understanding of the main channels for disseminating knowledge within this field. Here, we provide a new evaluation of journals devoted to entrepreneurship, plus more general journals that publish entrepreneurship articles. The evaluation uses a citation–based model to rate journals. This model overcomes some limitations inherent in the widely known “JIFs†approach. The model is used to derive ratings that shows the relative influences of established journals that publish research dealing with the entrepreneurship domain. In addition to being a way to gauge the influence that a particular journal has had on this domain, a journal's rating can serve as an early proxy for measuring the influence of individual entrepreneurship articles that have yet to have an opportunity to accumulate citations.
