Research in Organizational Behavior
Research in Organizational Behavior publishes commissioned papers only, spanning several levels of analysis, and ranging from studies of individuals to groups to organizations and their environments. The topics encompassed are likewise diverse, covering issues from individual emotion and cognition to social movements and networks. Cutting across this diversity, however, is a rather consistent quality of presentation. Being both thorough and thoughtful, Research in Organizational Behavior's commissioned pieces provide substantial contributions to research on organizations. Many have received rewards for their level of scholarship and many have become classics in the field of organizational research.- ISSN: 0191-3085
International Journal of Forecasting
Official Publication of the International Institute of ForecastersThe International Journal of Forecasting is the leading journal in its field.

It is open to many points of view and encourages debate to find solutions for problems facing the field.Topics covered in the International Journal of Forecasting:• Economic and econometric forecasting • Marketing forecasting • New products forecasting • Financial forecasting • Production forecasting • Technological forecasting • Forecasting applications in business, government, and the military • Demographic forecasting • Energy forecasting • Climate forecasting • Crime forecasting • Seasonal adjustments and forecasting • Time series forecasting • Legal and political aspects of forecasting • Implementation of forecasting • Judgmental/psycholog... aspects of forecasting • Impact of forecast uncertainty on decision making • Organizational aspects of forecasting • Sport forecasting • Machine Learning forecasting • Forecasting methodology • Election forecasting • Big data forecasting Features of the IJF include research papers, research notes, discussion articles, book reviews, editorials and letters.Data and computer programs associated with articles published in the International Journal of Forecasting are provided as online supplements on ScienceDirect.Object... To ensure fairness and objectivity, double-blind reviewing will be used.Replication studies The IJF encourages replication studies, especially of highly cited papers. See Encouraging replication and reproducible research (an editorial published in 2010) for further information. A replication study that confirms that a published paper can be successfully replicated would normally be quite short (about a page is often sufficient to describe what calculations and comparisons have been done). Where a previously published paper has not been successfully replicated, more details are required to explain how the results differ from those previously published.- ISSN: 0169-2070

International Journal of Information Management
The International Journal of Information Management (IJIM) is a leading outlet for high-impact research in the information systems (IS) field. It embraces an inclusive range of topics, levels of analysis, and perspectives, reflecting all facets of information systems globally.The journal focuses on:Design, development, implementation, and management of information technologies and systems in organizational and societal contexts;Strategic integration of IT in business, including IT strategy, governance, and organizational change management;Digital innovation and emerging technologies–for example, research on social media, mobile and cloud computing, digital platforms and ecosystems, big data analytics, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, blockchains, and other cutting-edge technologies and their convergence;Organiza... initiatives that enhance decision-making and business intelligence;Use, impact, and value of information systems on individuals, organizations, and society, including studies of how IS influences organizational performance and processes, user behavior and experience, economics of IT, and public or institutional policy;Organizationa... contextualized ethical, social, and policy issues that are arising in the digital era (for instance, research on data privacy, security and resilience of IT infrastructures, sustainability, digital inclusion, and the societal implications of information technology).By covering this broad spectrum of topics, IJIM provides a comprehensive forum for both theoretical advances and practical insights into contemporary information systems in business contexts.Theoretical and Methodological Rigor IJIM is committed to the highest standards of academic rigor and scholarly contribution, publishing only work that is innovative, insightful, and rigorously developed. Specifically:We seek papers that make strong academic contributions, whether by building new theory or significantly extending existing frameworks. The journal values research that develops a scholarly understanding based on empirical evidence while also offering novel theoretical insights. Papers that do not advance theory or design in a significant way will be desk rejected. Each paper is expected to have a clear theoretical or design science grounding and to articulate its contribution to the broader IS literature, whether it be by challenging existing assumptions, integrating streams of research, unveiling new relationships and constructs, or designing new artifacts.We welcome diverse research methodologies and encourage authors to employ the approach best suited to their research question. Submissions may be quantitative (e.g. large-scale surveys, experiments, analytics), qualitative (e.g. case studies, ethnographies, interviews), design science (artifacts and solutions demonstrating IT innovation), or analytical/modeling studies.While we welcome research that draws on perspectives from computer science, management, economics, psychology, sociology, organization science, and other related disciplines, our focus is on information systems and information management. Any papers narrowly focused (e.g., marketing or agriculture) will be desk rejected. Novel combinations of theories or methods that address complex IS phenomena are welcomed. Regardless of approach, all submissions must demonstrate methodological rigor, sound analysis, and validity of results. The journal ensures a rich methodological plurality that advances the IS field’s knowledge base.We welcome submissions of the article types below –Research ArticlesFull-length, theoretically grounded manuscripts that advance knowledge in information and management through rigorous conceptual development and empirical validation. Submissions should clearly align with the journal’s scope and mission.Research Methods ArticlesThese articles focus on advancing the practice of doing research. This includes papers that introduce or refine methodologies (quantitative, qualitative, or computational, including AI-enabled methods), discuss innovations in data collection or analysis, or reflect on research design, theory building, and scholarly inquiry.Theory and Review ArticlesThese submissions offer integrative reviews of existing literature and develop frameworks that organize knowledge and guide future research. Authors are encouraged to identify gaps, evaluate theoretical contributions, and propose novel directions or conceptual models that shape the evolution of the field.Research NotesShort-form articles that provide timely and focused contributions, such as replication studies, critical re-evaluations of past findings, or exploratory research that challenges prevailing assumptions. This category welcomes contrarian perspectives and constructive critique that fosters healthy academic debate.A Leading Outlet for Cutting-Edge Scholarship As a premier journal in information systems and information management, IJIM aspires to publish only the highest quality scholarship in the discipline.
