Research Articles

A research article should normally be between 6000 to 8000 words. However, major research articles with more than 8000 words are also welcomed and shorter papers will also be considered. The regular articles, along with the Research Notes and Case Studies, are subject to a blind peer-review process. Submissions will be reviewed by at least two anonymous reviewers.

Literature Review

Literature reviews should present a comprehensive and critical summary of previous research relevant to the topic under review, starting with the identification of the problem and the urgency of the study, followed by a clear purpose of the review. The article should explain the methodology of the literature search and selection (if systematic/scoping), then organize the results of the review in a logical thematic or chronological framework, highlighting the main trends, gaps, contradictions, and important contributions in the literature. Finally, the review should provide an in-depth analysis of the implications of the findings, suggestions for future research, and formulate a conclusion that confirms the article's contribution to the overall understanding of the topic. All discussions must be based on primary and up-to-date scientific sources, organized systematically, and written in a clear and objective scientific style.

Book Section

A book review should have up to 2000 words and contain the following information: author(s) or editor(s) for edited books, title, publisher, ISBN, year of publication, number of pages, original language of publication, resume of the content, and an informed review of how this book contributes to business knowledge

Research Note

A research note is a discussion note, intended to advance a new business idea, theoretical perspective, research program, or methodological issue. There is no specific format for a research note, so the author is expected to present the note in a format that is most suitable for the issue being discussed. The length of research notes is typically 1500 to 2500 words.

Case Study

A case study of best of administration business and organization practices typically have around 1000 to 2500 words. A case study’s contribution is predominantly oriented to practical application and is not expected to further theoretical development in the administration business and organization field. Rather, a case study often demonstrates how theoretical concepts can be applied in the management of one or more organizations or enterprises.
