JBV Insights is supercharged in terms of speed and accessibility and aims to have manuscripts with the journal for no longer than three months (from submission to online publication [or rejection]). Manuscripts will be concise and widely available online via ScienceDirect.

The research featured in JBV Insights will highlight important ideas that cannot yet meet the threshold for completeness, robustness or theoretical explication required of JBV, but will otherwise stimulate further research. Empirical submissions could include unusual findings, atheoreical descriptions, non-findings or replication of established relationships, or single experiments. Theoretical submissions could include thought-provoking examples or juxtapositions. Other submissions include simulations and scale and other methodological developments.

The editorial policy of the JBV Insights requires that submitted articles highlight and stimulate conversation about entrepreneurial phenomena. Articles can be based on empirical findings or descriptions, theoretical arguments, simulations, or methodological developments.

JBV Insights represents a multi-discipline voice on entrepreneurship including, in the fields of management, strategy, sociology, psychology, economics, international business, finance/accounting, sustainable and social entrepreneurship, and marketing.

Types of Paper

Fast, authoritative and in-depth reportsJournal of Cardiology Cases (JC Cases) is an official peer-reviewed online journal of the Japanese College of Cardiology (JCC) dedicated to case reports. JC Cases provides an appropriate forum for all cardiologists by publishing without delay their important clinical cases of recent occurrence. Accepted articles are online soon after author proofs are returned with assigned volume and page numbers (article-based publishing). Notable articles are also discussed in the journal's editorials. One year after their publication, all articles become accessible, at no cost, also to nonsubscribers.Learning from real casesLearning from medical cases provides valuable experience not only for clinicians, but also for students and paramedical staff members. Rare medical cases and conditions discovered through the latest methods of examination are often not found in textbooks, but frequently they are quickly reported in JC Cases. Encountering them early will greatly contribute to the acquisition of actual clinical capability by students and staff alike. Furthermore, learning diagnostic processes from medical cases and the interpretation of symptoms is important to train and develop thinking processes used in the clinical field.For all medical personnelThis journal provides paramedical staff members also with opportunities to learn specifically about the role of examinations and ways to manage patients. Therefore JC Cases is the leading such case report journal and should be regularly read by all cardiovascular medical researchers, doctors, and medical personnel.From every clinical siteThe journal welcomes contributions from nonmembers of the Society. Please prepare manuscripts in conformance with the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals.
