    Greetings,
     
    My colleagues and I are revising a manuscript for resubmission to a top-tier peer reviewed journal. Specifically, we have conducted a meta-analysis to examine whether exposure to formal education or training in entrepreneurship (e.g. community college courses, undergraduate courses at colleges/universities, graduate courses colleges/universities, training courses, etc.) leads to either: 1) an increase in positive attitudes and/or intentions toward becoming an entrepreneur; or 2) an increased likelihood of starting a business, or joining a start-up company, upon completion of the course work.
     
    One critical point we need to address is to ensure that we have the most comprehensive and up-to-date collection of work. We have, of course, done full database searches on the topic, and we have made a previous call for unpublished articles.
     
    The purpose of this message is to issue a final call for any unpublished manuscripts, technical reports, or little known research on entrepreneurship education outcomes for inclusion in our analyses. At this point your work or your knowledge may be valuable if:
     
    1. You can make us aware of any little known research that is not available in the published literature;
    2. You can send us any unpublished papers you have on one or both of these topics (journal articles, masters and/or doctoral theses, technical reports, and research institute/center reports, among others);
    3. You can send us any citations of papers you have published on these topics;
    4. You are willing to share any raw data that you do not plan on publishing but you think would be helpful in including in a meta-analysis of this type.
     
    To protect the anonymity of the peer-review process we will not post our names or affiliations to this message, hence the anonymous email address below.
     
    If you have any of the above that you would like to have included in our meta-analysis, please send them to: entremeta@gmail.com.
     
    Apologies for cross-postings.
