Hello everyone:
Journal of Management is now planning its special Review Issue for December
2008. The announcement was originally issued a few months ago, but I am
re-posting it here. Feel welcome to send us a proposal!
Best wishes,

Senior Associate Editor
JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT CALL FOR PROPOSALS
2008 REVIEW ISSUE
The editorial board of the Journal of Management would like to invite
authors to submit proposals for the December 2008 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, human resource management, organizational behavior,
organizational theory, and research methods.
Proposals should be submitted as an e-mail attachment to Anne Pentland
at
annep@email.arizona.edu. 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. Relevant dates are as follows:
July 30, 2007: Proposals due to the Journal of Management at
annep@email.arizona.edu.
October 1, 2007: Final decision on proposal and initial feedback
provided to authors.
March 30, 2008: First draft of paper due to the Journal of Management.
May 1, 2008: Feedback to authors on first draft.
July 1, 2008: Final paper submitted to the Journal of Management.
December 15, 2008: Manuscript appears in Volume 34, Issue 6.
