Journal of Small Business Management
Mission Statement and Guidelines for Authors
The primary purpose of the Journal of Small Business Management (JSBM) is to publish quality research articles in the fields of small business management and entrepreneurship. As the official journal of the International Council for Small Business (ICSB), the JSBM is recognized as a primary instrument for projecting and supporting the goals and objectives of this organization, which include education, research, and the free exchange of ideas. The JSBM's readership is largely academic and international; all manuscripts for the Journal of Small Business Management should be prepared with this audience in mind. No manuscript will be considered for publication in the JSBM that has been published elsewhere or submitted elsewhere for review. Topics of interest to JSBM readers include:
1. Family and Founders Owned Enterprises
2. Women and Minority Owned Enterprises
3. Small Business Strategy and Organization
4. Small Business Marketing and Franchising
5. Entrepreneurial and Small Business Education
6. New Venture Creation and Venture Capital
7. Small Business Finance and Accounting
8. Small Business Technology and Innovation
9. Small Business Policy and Economics
10. Small Business Operations and E-Commerce
11. Small Business Assistance and Consulting
The JSBM publishes two types of articles:
Articles: Manuscripts should address research issues in a scientifically rigorous way; however, we encourage the incorporation of pragmatic advice for practitioners based on the research results. Manuscripts should not exceed 20 pages, double-spaced (excluding tables and references). Occasionally, a longer manuscript that presents forefront research on small business and entrepreneurship will be accepted for review. These longer manuscripts should not exceed 30 pages (excluding tables and references). Both the shorter and longer manuscripts should use statistical techniques and address research issues in a way that is comprehensible to the small business researcher.
Each manuscript undergoes a blind review, typically by three reviewers, plus review by an associate editor. A manuscript achieves full acceptance status only after all revisions required by the associate editor, the reviewers, and the editor have been made and the manuscript meets all JSBM citation and format specifications. Detailed specifications are available on the JSBM website: http://www.jsbm.info/
Submission procedure

The WordPerfect or MS Word file should contain (in this order): (1) a cover page (with title, author(s) names and contact information, at least 3 key search words pertinent to the article; and which topic of small business research the manuscript addresses, selected from the above list of small business research areas); (2) biographical statements for each author (position and research interests); (3) article abstract; and (4) the article, with the Reference List and all tables and figures at the end.

Carrier mail: Mail disk to: Editor, Journal of Small Business Management, College of Business, Florida Atlantic University, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton, FL 33431, USA.
Unless otherwise noted, opinions and conclusions expressed in the JSBM are those of the authors and are not necessarily those of the editors, staff, or officers of the co-sponsoring organizations. In addition, no advertisement in the JSBM should be considered an endorsement of the product or service involved.

Tables and Figures:
Heading consists of table/figure number in one paragraph and table/figure title in subsequent paragraph. Both use initial caps, and are boldface. Both are centered over table/figure. Cell titles are bold, initial caps, centered over columns (except first, which is left justified). Use a single horizontal line above and below cell titles and a single horizontal at the end of the last row of data. Except when clarity requires it, no other lines should be used in the table. The leftmost column should be left justified. If there are subheadings followed by a list, the listed items should be indented slightly. Avoid abreviations (e.g., use "number" rather than "no."). If numerals with decimals are used, align by decimal point, even where there is a * or a minus sign. An asterisk is used only to indicate significance levels, use superscripts (a, b, c) for footnotes. Notes such as significance levels, data sources, etc. are placed beneath the line indicating the last row of data.
