The Kauffman Foundation has created State of the Field to give researchers a place to work collaboratively and distill the universe of entrepreneurship research down to its essence. The tool offers a compilation of knowledge on entrepreneurship research written by scholars in the field. Material is renewed on an ongoing basis by content experts who serve as editors and invite contributors to review research and draft overview documents. When the editors are satisfied with the latest draft, they publish it to the website to help entrepreneurial support organizations, policymakers, journalists, and entrepreneurs themselves find and understand different components of entrepreneurship research.
