REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR 2007 SPECIAL ISSUE
Academy of Management Learning & Education
The
Academy of Management Learning & Education is soliciting proposals from individuals interested in serving as Guest Editor(s) for its 2007 Special Issue (V6N3, September). Guest editor responsibilities include identifying an appropriate special issue theme and reviewing and securing material appropriate for each of
AMLEs four content sections. Typically, those four sections will be comprised as follows: Research & Reviews (3 5 peer-reviewed, empirical or theoretical papers, totaling approximately 150 manuscript pages), Exemplary Contributions (1 2 invited papers by acknowledged leaders in the relevant discipline, totaling approximately 50 manuscript pages), Essays, Dialogues & Interviews (4 6 peer-reviewed papers, any mix, totaling approximately 50 manuscript pages), and Book & Resource Reviews (4 6 invited reviews, totaling approximately 25 manuscript pages).
AMLE will work with Guest Editors to arrange referees and review processing, with all papers being reviewed by at least one Editorial Board member.
Proposals should include:
Contact information, including phone, e-mail and postal addresses, of Guest Editors.
- 500 - 1000 word overview of proposed theme.
- Plans for inviting Exemplary Contributions, identifying materials for Book & Resource Reviews, suggestions for Research & Reviews and Essays, Dialogues & Interviews, and suggestions for circulating a Call for Papers beyond publication in the Academys four journals. Guest editors are welcome to encourage papers for Research & Reviews and for Essays, Dialogues & Interviews, but these must be peer reviewed.
- A timeline beginning with an initial Call for Papers that will appear in AMLE V4N4, December 2005, allowing for initial submission and revise & resubmit processing, and concluding with final papers being completed by April 2007 (16 months), so as to allow time for copyediting and production, for publication in September 2007 (V6N3).
