Sources of evidence

Sources of evidence have been selected by the editorial group as being important documents influencing the development of Education for Entrepreneurship during the last fifteen years.
The systematic review of the area undertaken in 2006 (Pittaway & Cope, 2006) noted that Grey Material  including policy documents were beyond its scope  but such a review of such material could make be an important contribution to the area. 
We have attempted to consider such documents alongside the findings of the systematic review. 

Each document that was reviewed was summarised using the following structure:

  • Title, Description & Source
  • Aims
  • Key Findings
  • Focus
  • Authority and Credibility
  • Implications and Comments
  • Examples of Practice

The summaries were then subject to peer review within the editorial group.
