We are inviting academic editorial contributors to The SAGE Encyclopedia of Decision Sciences, a new 3-volume reference to be published in 2016. A description of the project is as follows:
The study of decision making and problem solving explores the cognitive, social, and economic aspects of judgment and behavior, particularly in situations with risk or uncertainty. Theories and research findings from decision science have broad application in such areas as Psychology, Business and Management, Finance, Economics, Medicine and Healthcare, Computer Science, Behavior Analysis, and Law. This encyclopedia looks to answer questions such as: How does risky decision making in adolescence affect us as adults? How does consumer financial decision making affect a country’s overall economic health? How does alcohol and drug abuse change our capacity to make decisions? How are high-stakes medical decisions made and how can the process be improved to better health outcomes? This will be an authoritative, approachable landmark work for students and researchers who seek to become familiar with the various approaches to decision sciences as well as past and current research. The SAGE Encyclopedia of Decision Sciences includes 3 volumes, with approximately 450 articles. Articles range from 1,000 to 5,000 words and include following categories:
Business, Management, Marketing & Leadership
Cognitive Psychology and Economic Psychology
Computer Science, Engineering, and Information Technology
Criminology, Law, and Public Policy
Dynamic Decision Making and Learning Theories
Human Factors and Ergonomics
Medicine and Health
Normative, Bounded Rationality, and Not-Normative Theories
Organizations and Journals
Research Methods, Case Studies, Heuristics and Biases
Social, Environment and Ecological Decisions
This comprehensive encyclopedia will be published in 2016 by SAGE Publications and the editorial team includes Dr. Coty González, General Editor, as well as Eyal Ert, Joseph Johnson, Peter Lanzer, and Christopher Wickens, Associate Editors.
We are currently making assignments with a deadline for submissions of February 17, 2015.
If you are interested in contributing to this cutting-edge reference, it can be a notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your publishing credits. SAGE Publications offers an honorarium ranging from SAGE book credits for smaller articles up to a free set of the printed product for contributions totaling 5000 words or more. Each article will be signed by the contributing author in the final publication.
The list of available articles is already prepared, and as a next step we will e-mail you the Article List (Excel file) from which you can select topics that best fit your expertise and interests. Additionally, Style and Submission Guidelines will be provided that detail article specifications.
If you would like to contribute to building a truly outstanding reference with The SAGE Encyclopedia of Decision Sciences please contact me by the e-mail information below. Please provide your CV or a brief summary of your academic/publishing credentials in related disciplines.
