Abstract:
While most business and management academics appreciate the importance of getting published in international journals, relatively few actually manage to do so and even fewer manage to do it repeatedly over time. Although several factors are responsible for this pattern, one important factor seems to be insufficient understanding of how the review process of such journals actually “ticksin”” and how this affects an author’s chance in “getting in”. Drawing from 30+ years of personal experience as an author, associate editor, editorial review board member and ad hoc reviewer, this presentation seeks to offer some insights into (a) the context within which a review of a submitted paper typically takes place, (b) the nature and demands of the reviewing process, and (c) things to do (or not to do) to maximize the chances of a successful outcome. The talk is particularly targeted to young scholars and doctoral students interested in an academic career but also to more experienced researchers seeking to strengthen their publication portfolio and enhance their visibility and reputation.
