JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT CALL FOR PROPOSALS REVIEW ISSUE
The incoming editorial team of the Journal of Management would like to
invite authors to submit proposals for the next Review Issue. Articles
for the Review Issue tend be high-impact scholarly surveys of important
research literatures. They summarize recent research, provide
integrations of management literatures, and highlight important
directions for future inquiries. The Review Issue is open to all areas
of management. This includes manuscripts pertaining to such disciplines
as strategy, entrepreneurship, human resource management, organizational
behavior, organizational theory, and research methods.
Proposals should be submitted between July 1, 2008 and July 30, 2008 via
the Journal of Management’s new online submission portal at
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jom (please be sure to select Review
Issue Proposal as the paper type)
(please note that no manuscripts will accepted until after July 1 as the
site is not yet ready for submissions. Any submissions submitted online
before that time will be unsubmitted.)
Generally speaking, proposals should contain no more than five to ten
pages of text and be double-spaced. An appendix containing example
references that will be included in the final manuscript is appropriate,
but not required. References, tables, and appendices do not count
against the aforementioned page limit. All proposals will be subject to
editorial review. It is also acceptable to submit a completed
manuscript, though doing so confers no special advantage.
Submissions will be evaluated with respect to the following criteria:
(a) Relevance. The proposed manuscript should thoroughly review a
significant and important research area within the organizational sciences.
(b) Viability. The proposal should represent an achievable project
within the tight time constraints required. More detail on the timeline
is provided below.
(c) Scope of Interest. Papers of broad interest to scholars in a variety
of specialty areas are greatly preferred.
(d) Organization and Coherence. The proposal should follow a logical
structure, read clearly, and thoroughly represent the available research.
(e) Insight for Future Work. The proposal should convey important
implications for future management scholars.
Due to editorial constraints, it is vital for authors to adhere to the
following strict timeline. We will not be able to accept late
submissions. Please contact us at
