Special Issue on Academic journals and academic publishing
Special Issue on Academic journals and academic publishing
Guest Editor Göran Svensson, Halmstad University, Sweden
This special issue will include articles that address topics that contribute to the ongoing discussion and debate of academic journals and academic publishing. Submissions from all business disciplines are welcome.
Academic journals provide a forum for scholars to communicate their research efforts and interpretive views of the findings to others within and beyond the research community. Academic publishing is often based upon a peer review process. In extension, these two themes are inter-connected. The latter serves the purpose to perform quality assurance and quality control of the former.
Submitted papers may address – but not be limited to – up-to- date reviews, academic viewpoints, debatable/controversial topics of discussion, implications for scholars/academia and suggestions for the future. There are a few tentative questions that could be addressed:
- •
Are there paradigmatic and/or myopic views in academic journals and academic publishing?
- •
What are the opportunities and threats to – and strengths and weaknesses of – academic journals and academic publishing within and across continents?
This special issue encourages thought-provoking and challenging papers that may be either empirically or conceptually related to the themes of academic journals and academic publishing.
The deadline for submission of papers for this special issue is April 15, 2006. Submissions should be sent electronically to the editor of this special issue: Göran Svensson, Halmstad University, Sweden, e-mail: goran.svensson@set.hh.se
The format for submissions to the European Business Review can be found at: www.emeraldinsight.com/ebr.htm. Those with questions about the acceptability of proposed topics are urged to contact the editor as soon as possible.
