It’s probably not an accident that the article was published during the SBF trial. My guess is that the journal editors are willing to overlook some methodological flaws in favor of getting a piece out while the topic was more prone to draw public opinion. I don’t know the relevant literature base—but I also surmise that if the “debate on dark personality traits in entrepreneurship” is indeed as “nascent” as claimed, then editors are relatively more likely to let pieces lacking in design rigor through.
