Abstract

Journal of Business Venturing Insights (JBVI) celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2024. In celebration of this anniversary, we take stock of what have been published in the journal to reflect the past and chart the future of the journal. By treating journal articles' texts as corpus data amenable for computations, we embraced a computational social sciences methodology called Bert Topic Modeling (BERTopic) to detect the latent topics of articles (n = 443) published in the journal (2014–2024). The analyses identified 28 main topics or themes that dominated the journal's agenda and the emergence of new topics, with varying number of distinct topics across the years, reflecting both the persistence of traditional research themes and the rise of novel research agendas. The results suggest a vibrant, heterogeneous, and growing maturity of entrepreneurship research throughout the decade in the journal. Spatial analysis further revealed the thematic clusters and intellectual structure of the journal's research themes. We end this article with a reflection on what the findings mean for the field of entrepreneurship and suggest avenues for future research. © 2025 The Authors.
