Dear Colleague,
We are currently editing a book on “Women in Leadership in the 21st Century”. This book aims to collect discussions of current case studies on opportunities and obstacles women face in achieving institutional leadership roles. The book is aimed at a general audience and graduate students in business management programs.
Our request for chapter abstracts has resulted in many more abstracts than we can include in the book. Seeing how we can only include a limited number of these abstracts submitted, we are looking at extending the typical number of external reviewers per submission in order to enhance fairness in the selection process, as well as to receive the input from diverse groups in a variety of disciplines, as they are all relevant to the content.
We respectfully ask you to help us evaluate an abstract from this collection. We are simplifying the process and taking an anonymous approach by offering a quick and reduced review process. You will be paired with a randomly selected abstract, asked to read through the information provided by the authors, then answer a few questions about the applicability of that work. A couple of demographic questions will be accessed to ensure reviewers have the appropriate qualifications for the work requested.
The abstracts were limited to 500 words and up to four references for inclusion in our selection process. A review should take you no more than 20 minutes to complete. If you could please find the time, in the next two weeks to complete this quick review it would be greatly appreciated.
We appreciate your help and support.
For additional information about the editors and scope of book, please contact Dr. Nicole Cundiff at nlcundiff2@alaska.edu, referencing in the title “Women in Leadership in the 21stCentury”. Note we are currently not accepting additional submissions for this work.
