Publishing on management - guide to conventions, communities, and journals 1600-SZD-WN-PoM
1. Hierarchy of journals in management: which journals set the tone for the field? What is the A+ journal? Generalist and specialist journals.
(Web of Science Journal Citation List, UT Dallas ranking, The Financial Times 50 list, Macdonald and Kam (2007)
2. Heterogeneity of publishing outlets: Differences in conventions, preferred content, and the type of submissions (empirical-theoretical, quantitative-qualitative, The Atlantic Divide). (Hensel (2017); Vogel (2012))
3. How to identify the right journal for your research? (Clark, Wright, and Ketchen (2016))
4. Convention is king: how to ensure that your manuscript fits the convention of your chosen journal (structure, language, references). (Bansal and Corley (2012); Bono and McNamara (2011); Colquitt and George (2011); Geletkanycz and Tepper (2012); George (2012); Grant and Pollock (2011); Habib Bajwa, König, and Harrison (2016); Hyland (1998); Sparrowe and Mayer (2011); Zhang and Shaw (2012))
5. What not to do: typical mistakes made by the Polish authors trying to publish in foreign journals (Hensel (2018))
6.Dealing with reviewers and editors: what to expect, how to react. See references for “Convention is king”
7.Tools for writing: Reference management (EndNote, Mendeley), making charts and diagrams, best bibliographical databases for management research.
8.Conclusions: if you think that publishing in management is crazy — you are right.(Alvesson and Gabriel (2013); Barley (2015))
