Instructions for Research Notes and Book Reviews
Research notes are not full
academic papers but are discussion notes, seeking to advance a new idea,
theoretical perspective, research program, or methodological approach in
organization studies. As opposed to full research papers, research notes may
follow a less strict paper outline but still needs to make a valuable
contribution to the study of organization. That is, polemical clarity
and rhetoric are important qualities of a readable and intriguing research
note. When writing a research note, it is important that the author(s) are
clear on what kind of contribution they want to make to the field of
organization studies, that they are capable of advancing an intelligible and
solid argument in favour of a particular theory, study, or methodology, and
that they bring in a novel view to the attention of the journal’s readers. The
role of the research note is thus not so much to further justify or support
predominant theoretical perspectives but to serve as a form of incubator or
laboratory for new thinking in the field of organization studies.
Research notes are preferable between 3,000 and 4,000 words
(but up to 5,000 may be accepted under certain conditions) and are otherwise
adhering to the research paper instructions regarding e.g., referencing and
bibliographic information. Research notes are reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief
and one or more Associate Editors. Research notes can also be invited by the
editor or members of the editorial team in collaboration with the editor.
Instruction for Book Reviews
Our book review section contains three different types of
book reviews. First, ordinary reviews on recent books by well-known scholars,
but also on more avantgarde or marginal works and on books published in
languages other than English. SJM wants to provide the readers with reviews on
interesting books that other major journals are unlikely to cover. Furthermore,
reviews should cover an overview of the contents of the book as well as a
critical account of the book, i.e. its merits and its shortcomings. Length of
text should be around 1,400-1,800 words. Secondly, we have vintage book
reviews, i.e. reviews on classics in management. This type of book review
primarily target, but are not exclusively restricted to, Scandinavian classics
in which an overview of its contents should be provided as well as an account
of what the current value is to today’s research and societal problems. Length
of text should be around 1,000-1,400 words. Third, there is the possibility to
write book review essays. A book review essay implies reading and comparing
several books in such a manner that the reviewer includes his/hers own original
analysis of a management phenomenon. Such a review could either include books
from different disciplines – an interdisciplinary approach – that taken together
are relevant for Management, or include books from the same discipline. Length
of text should be around 2,000 words.
