I am the co-editor of a stream within a new online journal, the Organization
Management Journal. Organization Management Journal is a refereed online
publication sponsored by the Eastern Academy of Management in the USA.
OMJ is international in scope, and is organised into four distinct sections:
Linking Theory and Practice, Teaching and Learning, Works by Emerging Scholars,
and Bibliography. Each section has its own editorial mission, editors,
and review board.
OMJ is designed as a forum for broad philosophical, social, and practical
thought about management and organizing. We publish articles that advance
knowledge in the areas of management and organizational theory, research,
education, and practice. Through our peer-review process, we intend to
enhance the professional development of scholars, practitioners, and doctoral
students. More specifically, OMJ publishes papers that:
· Address the interface between theoretical insight and practical application
· Enhance the teaching of management, especially through the use of experiential
pedagogies
· Represent the early stages of theorizing about management and organizing
in unique and perceptive ways
· Serve as a resource for our readers' professional development
The stream that I co-edit is called Works by Emerging Scholars and our
intention is to provide an opportunity to serve the community of emerging
scholars of organisation and management and, as a result, to enhance the
field at large. We intend the Section to be as inclusive as possible and
are
> interested in both emerging scholars and emerging scholarship. We encourage
the submission of papers on any topic, in any field, from research degree
students and postdoctoral fellows, scholars in their first or early academic
employment, and anyone else who considers her- or him- self as an emerging
scholar working within the field of Organisation and Management Studies
(and related disciplines) worldwide. In encouraging the next generation
of researchers and writers in this field, we recognise that not all will
be new to academia; some may simply be new to the area of theory or research
that is now emerging for them.
What distinguishes Works by Emerging Scholars is our commitment to emerging
scholars and emerging scholarship. We view our editorial role as a developmental
one that will nurture and improve new work. Once a paper has been accepted
for the review process, we will undertake to mentor it so that the process
results in the publication of new, creative, and intriguing insights into
organizations and management.
Our goal is to present the best in contemporary emerging scholarship while
fostering conversations across disciplinary and ideological divides. We
will provide a forum for emerging scholars to present their ideas and offer
fresh perspectives on current debates and practical insights on scholarly
discourse. Unlike many other journals, we hope to avoid rigid orthodoxies
and publish the best of both theoretical work and applied research and
criticism on a range of issues.
The first edition is coming up soon and I would be interested in any submissions
from any of you who could possibly be described as emerging scholars to
publish in the journal. Please circulate this call widely amongst your
research and doctoral students and colleagues.
