Decision Support Systems
and Electronic CommerceThe common thread of articles published in Decision Support Systems is their relevance to theoretical and technical issues in the support of enhanced decision making. The areas addressed may include foundations, functionality, interfaces, implementation, impacts, and evaluation of decision support systems (DSSs). Manuscripts may draw from diverse methods and methodologies, including those from decision theory, economics, econometrics, statistics, computer supported cooperative work, data base management, linguistics, management science, mathematical modeling, operations management, cognitive science, psychology, user interface management, and others. However, a manuscript focused on direct contributions to any of these related areas should be submitted to an outlet appropriate to the specific area.Examples of research topics that would be appropriate for Decision Support Systems include the following:1. DSS Foundations e.g. principles, concepts, and theories of enhanced decision making; formal languages and research methods enabling improvements in decision making. It is important that theory validation be carefully addressed.2. DSS Functionality e.g. methods, tools, and techniques for developing thefunctional aspects of enhanced decision making; solver, model, and/or data management in DSSs; rule formulation and management in DSSs; DSS development and use in computer supported cooperative work, negotiation, research and product.3. DSS Interfaces e.g. methods, tools, and techniques for designing and developing DSS interfaces; development, management, and presentation of knowledge in a DSS; coordination of a DSS's interface with its functionality.4. DSS Implementation - experiences in DSS development and utilization; DSS management and updating; DSS instruction/training... A critical consideration must be how specific experiences provide more general implications.5. DSS Evaluation and Impact e.g. evaluation metrics and processes; DSS impact on decision makers, organizational processes and performance.- ISSN: 0167-9236

Technological Forecasting and Social Change
A major forum for those wishing to deal directly with the methodology and practice of technological forecasting and future studies as planning tools as they interrelate social, environmental and technological factors.Please see our SI Guideline for information on submitting a Special Issue proposal.MISSIONTFSC invites submissions that focus on technology and its impact on society. Technology provides opportunities for growth and innovation by offering the means for introducing novel or improved products, services, and processes that have the potential to provide additional value to societal actors. TFSC is committed to publishing research with a clear technological focus that significantly contributes to both theory and practice. Technological innovation can optimize existing business activities, extend into new business areas, push the frontiers of markets, and contribute to mitigating and adapting to socioeconomic and environmental challenges. Tapping into the innovation potential of technology and evaluating its impact requires moving across four fields of research: first, forecasting the emergence, development, and impact of technologies; second, taking managerial decisions at the organizational and industrial level to materialize the innovation potential of technologies; third, examining and evaluating the multifaceted effects that the implementation of technological innovations have on society, organizations, and the environment, and fourth, developing appropriate governance processes and frameworks. .THE FOCUS OF TECHNOLOGICAL FORECASTING AND SOCIAL CHANGE: WHAT WE AIM TO PUBLISH AND WHAT WE DO NOT PUBLISHTFSC invites submissions that focus on technology and its impact on society. Technology provides opportunities for growth and innovation by offering the means for introducing novel or improved products, services, and processes that have the potential to provide additional value to societal actors. This technological innovation can be directed at optimizing existing business activities, extending into new business areas, pushing the frontiers of markets, and contributing to mitigating and adopting socioeconomic and environmental challenges.Tapping into the innovation potential of technology and evaluating its impact requires moving across three majorfields of research.First, the future characteristics of technologies need to be forecasted. This implies observing and analyzing the emergence and development of novel technologies and assessing their potential functioning and impact on society. Technological forecasting is also indispensable to make informed decisions about investing resources, developing new products, planning for policy implications, and strategically positioning technological innovations in a competitive market. Moreover, it is a vital tool that helps organizations adapt to technological change and plan for the future with greater certainty. Manuscripts focused on forecasting the emergence, development, and impact of technologies should be submitted to the Technological Forecasting and Modelling bureau of TFSC. Second, materializing the innovation potential of technologies and ensuring that it becomes instrumental in advancing businesses, economies and societal goals requires managerial decisions. Such managerial decisions for example concern choices between technologies, allocation of resources to technological innovation initiatives, organizational change to enable technological transformation. Here the focus is on research on the management of technologies rather than technologies that support managerial decisions. Research that informs decisions in technology management at the organizational and industrial level should be submitted to the Management of Technology bureau of TFSC. Third, research efforts are needed to examine and evaluate the multifaceted effects of technological advancements on society, organizations, and the environment. This area of study builds on contributions that seek to understand the direct and indirect consequences of technology implementation, ranging from its economic implications to social changes, without forgetting about environmental effects. The ultimate goal is to provide assessments that can inform policymakers, businesses, and the public about the benefits and risks associated with the deployment of technological innovations. This field of research also emphasizes the importance of tracking the impact of technologies over time and across different settings. Moreover, this focus can involve not just assessing the outcomes of technology implementation, but also the processes by which technologies are integrated and adopted. Research in this domain should be submitted to the Impact and Evaluation of Technology bureau of TFSC.Fourth, developing appropriate institutional structures, regulatory frameworks and decision-making processes is essential for ensuring that innovative technologies equitably address societal challenges while managing associated risks. This implies understanding how different approaches can effectively facilitate and guide the diffusion and deployment of technologies, encompassing studies of regulatory innovation, policy experimentation, and governance models that can adapt to rapidly evolving technologies. It asks how different stakeholders - including government bodies, technical experts, industry players, civil society organizations, and the public - can be effectively engaged in technology governance processes. Manuscripts focused on understanding how governance of emerging technologies can foster sociotechnical progress while protecting public interests should be submitted to the Technology Governance and Public Policy bureau of TFSC.During the submission process, authors are responsible for carefully selecting the bureau in which their study should be assessed for potential publication in TFSC. We also encourage submissions taking a more holistic approach to the study of technology and its impact on society, by covering thematic areas that are relevant for more than one bureau. It is also important to highlight that manuscripts looking into individual, organizational, or societal factors that impact technological development are out of scope. Moreover, TFSC does not publish research that focuses on social change only, unless authors examine this change through the lens of specific technological developments. All manuscripts published in TFSC are expected to make substantial theoretical and practical contributions. Practical contributions can be translated into recommendations for management practice but also as policy implications. These contributions need to be explicitly spelled out and well-rooted in the findings of your study. To substantially advance our understanding of technology and its impact on society, submissions have to be rooted inan effective, consistent, and current theoretical basis. An effective theoretical underpinning enables researchers to frame the subject matter under investigation. For a theory base to be consistent, all ideas developed in the manuscript need to build on a theoretical framework with matching ontological and epistemological basic assumptions. The theoretical underpinning is current if authors effectively leverage state-of-the-art knowledge provided in scientific publications. TFSC will not publish manuscripts that lack a strong theoretical contribution, methodological development, and practical implications. TFSC also desk reject papers that violate submission or ethical guidelines as outlined in the guide for authors on the journal webpage.- ISSN: 0040-1625

Journal of Co-operative Organization and Management
The Journal of Co-operative Organization and Management (JCOM) is committed to be the leading international journal for the study of cooperation-based economic organizations and institutions. The journal provides the primary forum for the advancement and dissemination of scientific knowledge on organizing, managing and governing cooperation-based arrangements. It deals with questions on how, why and when the cooperation-based economic organizations and institutions are formed, operate and succeed, fail and disappear, and what can be done to influence the outcome. The journal will include topical, high-quality, and original contributions - research papers, reviews, and syntheses as well as book and conference reviews, and more practical oriented discussion and short communication papers. The overarching perspective of the JCOM is the different ways and means to manage, govern, and organize economic cooperation. Cooperation-based economic organizations, institutions, and arrangements are defined broadly and include, for example:• alliances, franchising, joint-ventures, family-owned enterprises, public-private partnerships etc. • co-operatives, mutual insurers, credit unions, etc. • associations, clubs, guilds, etc. • networks, ecosystems, peer economy, open innovation, inter-organizational cooperation, collaborative governance etc. • cooperation enabling technologies/models/... such as blockchains, platforms, metaverse etc.Finally, we encourage research (while NOT limiting our scope) that focuses on the potential and utility of the cooperation-based models in tackling the grand challenges of our time. These include global issues such as sustainable development regarding climate adjustment, social inclusion, ethical digitalization or fair platform economy.The journal facilitates theory elaboration on the topic of cooperation-based organizations and has a multi-/interdiscipli... tradition stemming from business economics, economics, legal studies, and administrative science in particular. JCOM will therefore encourage contributions that make rigorous use of a variety of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches. The journal will also welcome critical disciplinary discourse. JCOM strives to attract and engage an international scholarly readership. University libraries and individual academics are the primary target groups. However, given the scarcity of rigorous and well marketed journals with similar foci, the JCOM also seeks to attract professional audiences. This is important given that the ultimate test for theoretical contributions is the application of the new knowledge in the practices of organizations and in the praxis of individuals.- ISSN: 2213-297X

Socio-Economic Planning Sciences
The International Journal of Public Sector Decision-MakingDurin... the last several years, there has been substantial and important growth in the application of quantitative analysis, i.e., operations research/management science, statistics, and related arenas, to interdisciplinary problems arising in the area of socio-economic planning and development.Socio-Ec... Planning Sciences is an international journal devoted exclusively to research in this important, but under-represented area. It provides a medium for research that might not appear in more specialized journals, either because of the interdisciplinary or applied character of the study, or the mathematical/quantit... nature of the research. The journal thus serves as a focus for investigations that have hitherto appeared in widely-scattered sources and/or less-than-appropriat... sources.Socio-Econom... Planning Sciences strongly encourages contributions dealing with applications of quantitative models and techniques to important decision problems in the service and public sectors. Of particular interest are accounts of such studies carried out in developing countries and economically emerging regions of the world. Review articles in important methodological and substantive areas are also of interest.The principal criterion used in evaluating a manuscript submitted to the journal is: uniqueness or innovation of the work in terms of the methodology being developed, and/or its application to a problem of particular importance in the public or service sector and/or the setting within which the effort is being made, e.g. an emerging region of the world. That is to say, of the model/methodology itself, the application, and the problem context, at least one of these must be unique and important.Additional criteria considered in reviewing a submitted paper are its accuracy, the organization/present... (i.e. logical flow), and writing quality.Representati... of the topic areas included in the journal are the following:Studies directed toward the more effective utilization of existing resources, e.g. mathematical programming models of health care delivery systems with relevance to more effective program design; systems analysis of fire outbreaks and its relevance to the location of fire stations; statistical analysis of the efficiency of a developing country economy or industry.Studies relating to the interaction of various segments of society and technology, e.g. the effects of government health policies on the utilization and design of hospital facilities; the relationship between housing density and the demands on public transportation or other service facilities: patterns and implications of urban development and air or water pollution.Studies devoted to the anticipations of and response to future needs for social, health and other human services, e.g. the relationship between industrial growth and the development of educational resources in affected areas; investigation of future demands for material and child health resources in a developing country; design of effective recycling in an urban setting.- ISSN: 0038-0121
Futures
Futures: for the interdisciplinary study of futures, visioning, anticipation and foresightJournal Overview Futures is a forum for substantive research and knowledge at the intersections between disciplines (and beyond them) about the relationships between humanity and its possible futures. It has a long-standing commitment to analyse and challenge misuses and abuses of futures, and to build robust knowledge about the conditions for creating emancipatory, socially, responsible, and ecologically just futures.The editors invite contributions that present:- new knowledge about humanity's diverse anticipatory practices and how to understand, challenge, develop or enhance them - novel futures-oriented research that provides insights from a range of relevant disciplines into the diverse aspects of society’s relationship with the future- the highest quality interdisciplinary scholarship in the field of futures studies.Contribution... to Futures are typically motivated by a wide range of aims and objectives:questioni... the assumptions that shape how futures are imagined; encouraging dialogue across different fields and different knowledge traditions about the futures of cultures and societies, science and technology, economics and politics, environment and the planet, individuals and humanity, organisations and their strategies, building greater understanding of anticipatory behaviours, beliefs, expectations, and practices and their implications in the presentpluralizing the worldviews and perspectives that inform scholarship on and about futures, in particular learning from the knowledges of those who have, hitherto, not been in positions of power developing further the intellectual, ethical and empirical foundations of futures inquiry in interdisciplinary studies, the arts, humanities and social sciences, as well as in practice and policy settingsstrengthenin... the methodological development of professional practices in the futures field - including e.g. foresight, scenario planning and horizon scanning, as well as methods with roots outside these traditionsengenderin... high quality, responsible approaches to futures education - in schools, universities, and professional and policy settingsanimating research interest in emerging questions of significance to the futures of people and planet.What criteria should contributions meet in order to be considered for publication? To be considered for publication, submitted articles should make a substantive contribution to knowledge in one or more of the following areas:Understanding how relationships between human societies and their futures are changingUnderstandin... anticipatory processes, and in particular the uses of ideas of the future by individuals, organisations, or systemsContributing original insights and novel approaches to the theory, ethics, methods and practices of futures, foresight and other forms of prospective knowledge;The research and practice of futures education and futures literacy.Submitted articles should also: Be transparent and reflexive about the theories, assumptions and methods that they use to make their arguments;Have the potential to make a significant contribution to efforts to create more plural, democratic and ecologically just futures, by providing new empirical/conceptual insights and challenging assumptionsSituate their contributions in relation to existing literature on their chosen topics within the field of futures studies, and where possible, in relation to relevant literature published within Futures and other future-oriented communities journals.We welcome in particular contributions from scholars in the global South and proposals for Special Issues from researchers seeking to create an interdisciplinary forum for topics and issues that fit within the aims and scope of the journal. We also welcome for consideration articles that adopt novel presentational strategies but which fulfil one or more of the above criteria. What kinds of contributions will Futures not consider? We are unable to publish papers that:Do not refer to futures or to potential implications of the paper’s topic for the relationship between society and its futures. For example, papers that would fall into this category are ones that: simply describe technological applications and their possible improvements and efficienciesdiscuss methods, theories or innovations with no reference to their implications for humanity's relationship to futures or for developing futures-oriented researchdo not explain why a proposed theory, method or innovation is of significance for human anticipatory capacities.Do not engage with and contribute to existing scholarly work within futures studies that is relevant to a paper’s topic. Our readers expect papers published in the journal to engage with existing relevant debates within Futures and in other leading futures journals. Expressly advocate for a vision of a particular desired, possible or probable future, without reflecting on the basis for these visions and/or without enquiring into the potential consequences of these future visions for the present. Simply describe the outcome of a specific futures method or technique (e.g. ‘we produced these scenarios’ or 'we used method discussion of its potential consequences for scholarship, policy or practicereflexivity towards the assumptions and theory that underpinned itno analysis of the contribution to the scholarship or practice already existing in the field of futures studies, broadly construedThis excludes from consideration contributions which simply set out a particular model or forecast.History of the journal Futures was launched in 1968 to create a forum for the emerging field of Future Studies and is internationally recognised as a leading journal in the fieldToday, Futures is at the cutting edge of developments in the theory and practice of futures-oriented research across many disciplines, opening-up new ways of theorising, studying, challenging and cultivating human anticipationFutures acts as a point of encounter between the 50+ year history of Futures Studies and emerging interests in time and futures across many fieldsThe journal is at the forefront of efforts to create more plural, democratic and sustainable futures through robust research, high quality scholarship and responsible practicePapers are subject to a rigorous double blind peer review process and are published soon after final acceptance- ISSN: 0016-3287

Journal of Accounting Education
The Journal of Accounting Education (JAEd) is a refereed journal dedicated to promoting and publishing research on accounting education issues and to improving the quality of accounting education worldwide.The Journal provides a vehicle for making results of empirical studies available to educators and for exchanging ideas, instructional resources, and best practices that help improve accounting education. The Journal includes four sections: a Main Articles Section, a Teaching and Educational Notes Section, an Educational Case Section, and a Best Practices Section. Manuscripts published in the Main Articles Section generally present results of empirical studies, although non-empirical papers (such as policy-related or essay papers) are sometimes published in this section. Papers published in the Teaching and Educational Notes Section include short empirical pieces (e.g., replications) as well as instructional resources that are not properly categorized as cases, which are published in a separate Case Section. Note: as part of the Teaching Note accompany educational cases, authors must include implementation guidance (based on actual case usage) and evidence regarding the efficacy of the case vis-a-vis a listing of educational objectives associated with the case. To meet the efficacy requirement, authors must include direct assessment (e.g grades by case requirement/objectiv... or pre-post tests). Although interesting and encouraged, student perceptions (surveys) are considered indirect assessment and do not meet the efficacy requirement. The case must have been used more than once in a course to avoid potential anomalies and to vet the case before submission. Authors may be asked to collect additional data, depending on course size/circumstances.T... Best Practices section includes individual and institutional practices related to, for example, student recruitment, student advising, student retention, alumni relations, and efforts to integrate accounting practice and accounting education. These articles are typically shorter in length than Main Section (i.e., research-based) articles. While such papers do not need evidence obtained on the basis of an experimental design (e.g., pre- versus post-test comparison), some evidence regarding the value or benefit of the best practice should be included, along with a discussion of relevant costs (out-of-pocket as well as opportunity costs, such as faculty time, practitioner involvement, etc.). Finally, note that the JAEd publishes manuscripts on all topics that are relevant to accounting education, including uses of technology, learning styles, assessment, curriculum, and faculty-related issues.The Journal is published twice annually and uses a double anonymized peer review process.- ISSN: 0748-5751

Journal of Business Venturing Insights (JBV Insights) publishes thought-provoking research, highlighting novel ideas at the forefront of current discussions of entrepreneurial phenomena. Such ideas are extremely valuable as they can stimulate further necessary research.JBV Insights offers a platform for multiple disciplinary works and unconventional and silent scholarly voices. The journal is open to different disciplines and perspectives and thus welcomes papers that bring into entrepreneurship research ideas from within and beyond management scholarship, including the broader social and natural sciences. JBV Insights is also open to innovative methods and forms of theorizing. Through many of its initiatives, JBV Insights additionally aims to enhance the conversation among scholars and practitioners by offering a forum to disseminate novel and relevant entrepreneurship research rapidly.JBV Insights' review process balances speed and rigor to ensure that novel ideas and robust studies are promptly available to the public. We aim to have manuscripts with the journal for no longer than three months (from submission to online publication [or rejection]). Manuscripts will be concise and widely available online via ScienceDirect. Articles should not exceed 12 double spaced pages of text in 12 font, excluding references, tables and figures. Reference lists, tables, and figures should be on separate sheet.JBV Insights welcomes three types of submissions.Regular submissions: JBV Insights continuously welcomes submissions that align with its mission, offering innovative research and inspiring concepts geared toward the interests of entrepreneurship researchers. The journal is open to a variety of research approaches. Empirical submissions are greatly appreciated, and these could include elements such as unusual findings, atheoretical descriptions, non-findings, or the replication of established relationships. Furthermore, JBV Insights also welcomes single experiments that offer innovative perspectives. The journal also encourages theoretical submissions that stimulate thought and discussion through interesting examples or insightful juxtapositions. Other regular submissions might include simulations of entrepreneurial phenomena, papers developing measurement scales, and other methodological advances. Above all, JBV Insights aims to be as open as possible to different research approaches as long as they align with its mission to publish thought-provoking research.Translation... research: Translational research refers to distinct research activities where critical insights are passed between research modes so that discoveries made in basic social science can lead to improvements in entrepreneurial practice, communities and policy. Translational research in JBVI will thus translate descriptive propositional statements of facts and relationships that comprise theoretical knowledge into normative relationships between means and ends that provide actionable guides for practice. Translational research submission can include problematization, rapid response research, prospective inquiry, design science, participatory research, evidence reviews, among others. For more information about the Translational Research section, please take a look at the A translational framework for entrepreneurship research article, the design science initiative, the ER3 initiative and the Entrepreneurial problems and scholarly impact special issue.Debates: This section promotes rigorous scholarly engagement with provocative, unresolved, or contentious issues in entrepreneurship. It provides a forum for paired essays arguing for and against a clearly defined “House Motion,” encouraging productive adversarialism grounded in evidence, logic, and professional respect. Submissions must advance theoretical understanding by clarifying assumptions, exposing conceptual tensions, or challenging orthodoxies in a structured and accessible format. Each contribution should follow a 12-page limit and declare a “For” or “Against” stance in the title.

Scandinavian Journal of Management
The Scandinavian Journal of Management (SJM) provides an international forum for multifaceted aspects of management, and we specifically encourage authors to challenge existing knowledge.We publish original empirical, theoretical and methodological material that contributes to enhance the understanding of management in any type of organization (e.g., small, large, private, public, non-profit, for-profit, entrepreneurial, craft or arts based, community based). We welcome non-mainstream research approaches in terms of methodology, epistemology and ontology and we also consider various fields of management application, but narrow technical discussions relevant only to specific sub-fields will not enter the peer review process. However, we remain open to classical approaches in the field of management, but it is the task of proponents of such approaches to prove their worth.With this backdrop, we seek to promote dialogue rooted in openness, reasoned reflexivity and contextual awareness, and this is reflected in our fostering of constructive – critical yet respectful – conversations among researchers, as well as between authors and reviewers. SJM was founded in 1984, and it has since then become a journal where scholars from all over the world publish their work. Well beyond referring to a particular place or geography, Scandinavian reflects a state of mind, expressed through the following principles:1. Openness: Original research driven by curiosity over mundane organizational life predominate, and we invite inquiries that are challenging. Openness is also manifest in the broad thematic profile of the journal, relating to interdisciplinary approaches and novel ways of investigating and conceptualizing management-related phenomena.2. Reasoned reflexivity: Openness needs to be rooted in serious and compelling consideration of the epistemological and ontological foundations of the research endeavor, and the methodological underpinnings of inquiry. We ask authors to address and reflect on the role, positioning, and impact of the researcher/s in researching and theorizing.3. Contextual awareness: The reach and impact of modern management ideologies, ideas and practices is widespread, and can only be understood as entwined with society and nature; management is thus embedded in society, in nature. As such, SJM takes as one of its key tasks to contribute with knowledge about how management can be impactful for society and for nature, including the need for decentering management while foregrounding greater contextual sensitivity and humbleness.On behalf of our Editorial Team, we would like to invite you to consider the Scandinavian Journal of Management as a potential outlet for your work, a relevant journal for which to review, or simply where to find and enjoy a good read!- ISSN: 0956-5221

Evaluation and Program Planning
Purpose and Intent of the Journal Evaluation and Program Planning is based on the principle that the techniques and methods of evaluation and planning transcend the boundaries of specific fields and that relevant contributions to these areas come from people representing many different positions, intellectual traditions, and interests. In order to further the development of evaluation and planning, we publish articles from the private and public sectors in a wide range of areas: organizational development and behaviour, training, planning, human resource development, health and mental wellbeing, social services, corrections, substance abuse, and education. The primary goals of the journal are to assist evaluators and planners to improve the practice of their professions, to develop their skills and to improve their knowledge base.Types of Articles Published We publish articles, "special issues" (usually a section of an issue), and book reviews. Articles are of two types: 1) reports on specific evaluation or planning efforts, and 2) discussions of issues relevant to the conduct of evaluation and planning.Reports on individual evaluations should include presentation of the evaluation setting, design, analysis and results. Because of our focus and philosophy, however, we also want a specific section devoted to "lessons learned". This section should contain advice to other evaluators about how you would have acted differently if you could do it all over again. The advice may involve methodology, how the evaluation was implemented or conducted, evaluation utilization tactics, or any other wisdom that you think could benefit your colleagues. More general articles should provide information relevant to the evaluator/planner's work. This might include theories in evaluation, literature reviews, critiques of instruments, or discussions of fiscal, legislative, legal or ethical issues affecting evaluation or planning.Special issues are groups of articles which cover a particular topic in depth. They are organized by "guest editors" who are willing to conceptualize the topic, find contributors, set up a quality control process, and deliver the material.Book reviews cover any area of social science or public policy which may interest evaluators and planners.- ISSN: 0149-7189

Critical Perspectives on Accounting
Critical Perspectives on Accounting aims to provide a forum for the growing number of accounting researchers and practitioners who realize that conventional theory and practice is ill-suited to the challenges of the modern environment, and that accounting practices and corporate behavior are inextricably connected with many allocative, distributive, social, and ecological problems of our era. From such concerns, a new literature is emerging that seeks to reformulate corporate, social, and political activity, and the theoretical and practical means by which we apprehend and affect that activity.Research areas includeStudies involving the political economy of accounting, critical accounting, radical accounting, and accounting's implication in the exercise of power Financial accounting's role in the processes of international capital formation, including its impact on stock market stability and international banking activitiesManagement accounting's role in organizing the labor process The relationship between accounting and the state in various social formationsStudies of accounting's historical role, as a means of "remembering" the subject's social and conflictual characterThe role of accounting in establishing "real" democracy at work and other domains of lifeAccounting's adjudicative function in international exchanges, such as that of the Third World debtAntagonisms between the social and private character of accounting, such as conflicts of interest in the audit processThe identification of new constituencies for radical and critical accounting informationAccountin... involvement in gender and class conflicts in the workplaceThe interplay between accounting, social conflict, industrialization, bureaucracy, and technocracyReapprais... of the role of accounting as a science and technologyCritical reviews of "useful" scientific knowledge about organizationsStudies approaching accounting education from a critical perspective, including how students can be initiated to critical thinkingBenefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

If you require any further information or help, please visit our Support CenterAdditional policy from the journal on the use of artificial intelligence in research In an editorial published in 2024, the editors of the journal developed the following policy that applies to submissions that rely on the use of artificial intelligence. “As co-editors, we are particularly concerned about the threat posed by artificial intelligence (AI) to the authenticity of research. We conceive of authenticity in research as an implicit claim made by the researcher that is empirically and ethically grounded. Empirical authenticity relates to the researcher’s genuine commitment to understand the world reflexively. Ethical authenticity means being original and true to oneself despite prevailing performance pressures in the researcher’s environment. Given what we know about the juggernaut of AI, we do not want Critical Perspectives on Accounting to receive submissions in which AI played a significant role in any step of the research process, except for language translation and copyediting purposes. Also, we do not want reviewers and editors-in-charge to rely in any significant way on AI to produce reviews, make editorial decisions, and write editorial letters. This is a question of authenticity.” Reference: Gendron, Y., Andrew, J., Cooper, C., and Tregidga, H. 2024. On the juggernaut of artificial intelligence in organizations, research and society.

All RP papers are expected to yield findings that have implications for policy or management.Before submitting, please read the Research Policy Guide for Authors, as well as our guidelines on Journal keywords for submission, and notes for proposing a special issue. If you would like to obtain more information about the scope of RP or the submission process, or if you have any further questions, please see the long list of FAQs at https://www.journals... and Scope: Research Policy (RP) is a multi-disciplinary journal devoted to analyzing, understanding and effectively responding to the economic, policy, management, organizational, environmental and other challenges posed by innovation, technology, R&D and science. This includes a number of related activities concerned with the creation of knowledge (through research), the diffusion and acquisition of knowledge (e.g. through organizational learning), and its exploitation in the form of new or improved products, processes or services. RP is generally acknowledged to be the leading journal in the field of innovation studies, with its academic status and influence being reflected in a remarkably high 'Impact Factor' for a multi-disciplinary social science journal (please see below). Authors intending to submit a paper to RP should first check whether that paper is consistent with the journal's Editorial Strategy as detailed in the Guide for Authors. RP uses an online submission process, https://www.editoria... and all papers are subject to a 'double-blind' review process, details as in the Guide for Authors. Besides research articles and notes, RP also publishes a variety of other types of papers including Special Issues (or shorter Special Sections) occasional discussion papers on important topical issues, and book reviews, again further information in the Guide for Authors.Main Subjects Covered: Economics of Innovation/Technolog...
