Risk Analysis & Timeline
Key Risks: Manuscript is currently ~5,300 words most targets require 7,000–9,000 words. Theoretical contribution framing needs strengthening. Analysis is aggregate programme-level (must be presented transparently). Correlational findings are strong but not causal at individual level.
Realistic Timeline (submission → online): 28–46 weeks for top targets if submitted September 2026. Earliest realistic online publication: February–May 2027, with good chance of EarlyCite within 2026 for Emerald and diamond OA journals.
Revision & Submission Strategy
Mandatory improvements for all targets + journal-specific refinements.
Common Requirements: Expand to 7,500–9,000 words. Strengthen integrated theoretical framework (Experiential + Transformative + Dynamic Capabilities). Add conceptual figure. Improve statistical presentation and limitations transparency. Minimum 55–70 quality references. Add ethics and data availability statements.
Submission Sequence: 1) Journal of Agribusiness in Developing and Emerging Economies → 2) Australasian Journal of Educational Technology → 3) Journal of Entrepreneurship in Emerging Economies → 4) RPTEL → 5) Journal of Small Business and Enterprise Development.
