Discussion: View Thread

I recently posted a message to the Mg-Ed-Dv list endorsing the Journal
of Management Inquiry. I received a number of off-list messages asking
me more about why I think it is one of the top publication places for
us. One important one is that management professors have it available
to get, read, and cite since it is full-text in our libraries in
ABI-Inform (ProQuest) and EBASCO's Business Premium. Even other great
journals like the Academy of Management Journal and Academy of
Management Review are not available in full-text from ABI-Inform
currently (though they are available through EBASCO, which even schools
like New York University-according to a recent lament in BPSNET by
Melissa Schilling of the Stern School-do not have).



TIMING IS EVERYTHING. Now is the time to send your paper off to the
Academy for the August 2003 Seattle meeting:

http://myaom.pace.edu/AnnualMeeting/2003/

and ALSO to send our fellow list member Kim Boal a copy as a submission
to the Journal of Management Inquiry (Sage Publications). (Let him know
you also submitted it to the Academy so he can assure you that if
accepted it will not appear as an article till after you present in
Seattle.) If you have any questions on how to do this and whether your
paper is one of the sort the journal would like contact Kim Boal by
email KimBoal@ttu.edu or phone (806) 742-2150. His photo and other
contact information is on the Academy of Management Board of Governors
page:

http://www.aomonline.org/aom.asp?ID=14
<http://www.aomonline.org/aom.asp?ID=14&page_ID=62> &page_ID=62

He always seems to get back to people instantaneously!

The journal's Sage page is at:

http://www.sagepub.co.uk/frame.html?http://www.sagepub.co.uk/journals/de
tails/j0154.html

(If this url appears truncated above paste the end of it back on in your
browser's url window to made it load).

If your paper gets accepted for both the Academy and the Journal
of Management Inquiry, contact both Kim and me for celebratory glass
clinking in Seattle. (Kim: Will the Journal of Management Inquiry have
a party in Seattle for us all?)

I have to agree heartily. This was my reaction to the question as to which
Journals I like.

I have 2 criteria: that authors basic to my stream of research are
published; and that a full-text copy is available in electronic version from
my online libraries.

Since we use InfoTrac and Ebsco Host along with ProQuest I do get Academy of
Management Journal in full text.

I like having the physical copy so that when I find it online and work with
the online version I can switch to the paper version for citations. That
way not all of my citations are electronic, even if almost all of them start
as electronic versions.

Does anyone have any good systems for managing their personal libraries of
journals? I'm running out of library shelf space. But, I fear if I toss
any of them I may discover later that I needed an article from them. :)

"... personal libraries of journals" - I too have the same dilemma. Instead
of printing the article out, I tend now to download the PDF version and save
it to zip, and over the coming months, will move to CD-RW as the former is
no longer economical.

I see it as the responsibility of the publishers to
maintain an online copy of the articles from their
journals.

After looking through my paper copies, I download PDF
versions of articles of interest, and put the paper
copies out for use by students, and rarely see them
again.

I see it as the job of my university library to make
electronic copies of everything I want available to
me. If it cannot, well... Civilisation, such as it
is, has survived a lot of burning of books and
libraries. Sometimes when you are forced to reinvent
the wheel, you invent a better wheel.

Paper, while not obsolete, is too slow for modern
business, even modern business professors.
