Given the importance of theorizing about an entrepreneurial phenomenon, we seek to highlight the common challenges of entrepreneurship papers’ theorizing and offer suggestions for how we (as a community of scholars) can address these challenges to develop more robust and impactful entrepreneurship papers to advance the entrepreneurship field. Specifically, we identify the following major reviewer comments of entrepreneurship papers regarding their scope, common features (i.e., contextualization, boundary conditions, and time considerations), and “point of view”. Elaborating on these common comments of entrepreneurship theory papers, we offer guidance on incorporating these insights when writing or reviewing entrepreneurship papers.

鉴于对创业现象进行理论化的重要性，我们试图强调创业论文理论化的共同挑战，并就我们（作为一个学者社区）如何应对这些挑战以开发更强大和有影响力的创业论文来推进创业领域。具体来说，我们确定了以下主要评论家对创业论文的范围、共同特征（即背景化、边界条件和时间考虑）和“观点”的评论。通过详细阐述创业理论论文的这些常见评论，我们提供了在撰写或审查创业论文时如何结合这些见解的指导。
