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

Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics
formerly the Journal of Socio-EconomicsThe Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics welcomes submissions that deal with various economic topics but also involve issues that are related to other social sciences, especially psychology, or use experimental methods of inquiry. Thus, contributions in behavioral economics, experimental economics, economic psychology, and judgment and decision making are especially welcome. The journal is open to different research methodologies, as long as they are relevant to the topic and employed rigorously. Possible methodologies include, for example, experiments, surveys, empirical work, theoretical models, meta-analyses, case studies, and simulation-based analyses. Literature reviews that integrate findings from many studies are also welcome, but they should synthesize the literature in a useful manner and provide substantial contribution beyond what the reader could get by simply reading the abstracts of the cited papers. In empirical work, it is important that the results are not only statistically significant but also economically significant. A high contribution-to-leng... ratio is expected from published articles and therefore papers should not be unnecessarily long, and short articles are welcome. Articles should be written in a manner that is intelligible to our generalist readership. Book reviews are generally solicited but occasionally unsolicited reviews will also be published. Contact the Book Review Editor for related inquiries.- ISSN: 2214-8043
Organizational Dynamics
Organizational Dynamics aims to be the premier outlet where rigor, reliability, relevance, and timeliness converge. The journal focuses on organizational behavior, human resource management, organizational development, strategic management, and entrepreneurship. Our mission is to turn research into real-world impact by serving as the leading bridge between organizational scholarship and practice. We publish conceptually strong, evidence-informed articles that translate academic insights into actionable guidance for policymakers, educators, organizational leaders, and graduate and executive learners. Rather than emphasizing hypothesis-testing or complex statistical analyses, we focus on applied research presented in clear, accessible language. By fostering a two-way dialogue between theory and application, we aim to advance organizational effectiveness and create meaningful societal impact.- ISSN: 0090-2616
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.
