Manuscript Submission Guidelines:
Overview of Review Process
Instructions for Authors
The Journal of Management (JOM) publishes scholarly empirical, theoretical, and review articles dealing with management. Manuscripts that are suitable for publication in the journal cover areas such as business strategy and policy, entrepreneurship, human resource management, organizational behavior, organizational theory, and research methods.
The following brief checklist provides a quick reference for you to follow during your submission and manuscript review process.
- Papers submitted should not be under concurrent consideration at another journal.
- All new manuscripts should be submitted electronically. Electronic submissions should be uploaded to the Journal of Management by accessing http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jom.
- Files should be submitted in Microsoft Word format.
- All manuscripts must adhere to the JOM Style Guide for all submissions.
- Papers that severely violate the spirit of the guidelines (e.g., papers that are single-spaced, papers that use footnotes rather than conventional referencing formats, papers that greatly exceed 50 pages), or which do not clearly fit the mission of the journal will be returned to authors without being reviewed.
- Authors should keep in mind that papers are evaluated on a page to contribution ratio.
- We require that you have a colleague peer review any paper you submit to the Journal of Management. Please acknowledge your peer reviewer(s) or other author notes to the Editor in your cover letter.
- Accepted papers must fully adhere to the guidelines as part of the revision process.
Points of Interest
- Papers will be acknowledged via email upon receipt. We strive to make an editorial decision before 75 days, but circumstances beyond our control occasionally dictate a longer cycle.
- Each paper is reviewed by at least two reviewers and is also read by the action editor (either the Editor or an Associate Editor). Results of our decision, along with copies of the reviews, will be forwarded to the contact author as quickly as possible.
- If authors are invited to prepare a revision for further consideration, our letters of invitation will outline the key issues to be resolved and an assessment of the likelihood of success.
- Authors are normally given up to three to six months from the date of the invitation to prepare a revision. Our policy is to strive to make a final publication decision after one or two revisions (of course, further work may also be requested to resolve any remaining issues).
- Papers accepted to the Journal of Management become part of OnlineFirst system which provides immediate access to finalized manuscripts prior to their physical printing. Relatively few articles can be published in any given release of the Journal of Management, yet several articles have already been approved. OnlineFirst allows researchers and others in the field to read and cite the most current information available. Please go to http://jom.sagepub.com/pap.dtl to view in press articles.
Thank you for considering the Journal of Management as a publication outlet. We look forward to reviewing your research efforts!
