Social Science & Medicine
Social Science & Medicine provides an international interdisciplinary forum for the dissemination of social science research on health. We publish original research articles (both empirical and theoretical), reviews, position papers and commentaries on health issues, to inform current research, policy and practice in all areas of common interest to social scientists, health practitioners, and policy makers. The journal publishes material relevant to any aspect of health from a wide range of social science disciplines (anthropology, economics, epidemiology, geography, policy, psychology, and sociology), and material relevant to the social sciences from any of the professions concerned with physical and mental health, health care, clinical practice, and health policy and organization.All papers should be of broad interest to the international audience of general social science readers.The journal publishes the following types of contribution:Peer-re... original research articles (including methodological, theoretical and conceptual papers) and critical analytical reviews in any area of social science research relevant to health and healthcare. These papers may be up to 9000 words including abstract, tables, figures, references and (printed) appendices as well as the main text. Papers below this limit are preferred.Systematic and Scoping reviews (including Meta-analyses) of up to 15000 words including abstract, tables, figures, references and appendices as well as the main text. Review papers should use an established review methodology.Invited commentaries and responses debating, and published alongside, selected articles. Uninvited commentaries are not normally considered by any office.Special Issues bringing together collections of papers on a particular theme, and usually guest edited. If you wish to propose a Special Issue for consideration, please follow our proposal guidelines. The special issue papers are handled by the Editor in Chief. The Guest Editor is not responsible for the peer review process. The GE is required to review and approve abstracts. Once approved, the authors are invited to submit their full paper to the SI - the Editor in Chief handles the peer review process.Office Descriptions Authors will need to select their preferred Office when submitting to Social Science & Medicine. Please refer to the descriptions below to identify the most appropriate Office and to identify the types of paper that they will consider:Medical Anthropology (Senior Editor, Alex Brewis)Topics: The Medical Anthropology office welcomes papers related to the cultural, structural, linguistic, ecological, biocultural, evolutionary, ethical, or pedagogical contexts of health and (health care) wellbeing in a complex and globalized world.Methods:The Medical Anthropology office prioritizes theoretically-situat... submissions using qualitative, quantitative, mixed, applied, and/or coproduced methodologies.Outsid... of scope:n/aHealth Economics (Senior Co-Editors Joanna Coast & Richard Smith)Topics: The Health Economics office welcomes papers concentrating on the allocation of scarce resources in relation to health and health care, including primary, secondary, tertiary and community health and care systems, as well as papers that focus on economic aspects of public health. Methods: The Health Economics office will consider empirical papers using quantitative or qualitative methods, or a mix of the two, alongside economic or other theory relevant to resource allocation. Innovative methodological or theoretical papers must be clearly focused across both health and healthcare and economics.Outside of scope:Papers using econometric methods to explore questions unrelated to resource allocation and health or ‘data mining’, and those with a narrow domestic or clinical focus are not considered suitable for the health economics office.Social Epidemiology (Senior Co-Editors Arjumand Siddiqi & Jackie Hughto)Topics: The Social Epidemiology office welcomes papers related to the social distributions and determinants of health, particularly those that engage richly with social conditions and processes in relation to health and, particularly those that center population-level inferences.Methods: The Social Epidemiology office will consider primarily quantitative and mixed-methods research. Qualitative methods will occasionally be considered if they engage with population-level inferences. We are interested in the use of social science methodologies to understand social conditions and social processes linked to health outcomes. Outside of scope:n/aHealth Psychology (Senior Co-Editors Aleksandra Luszczynska & Cecilia Cheng)Topics:The Health Psychology office welcomes papers that focus on the development, implementation, and rigorous evaluation of innovative interventions, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches, mixed methods, health equity promotion, and contextual and cultural influences. Psychological research addressing outcomes related to health and health behaviors are of particular interest to the Health Psychology office.Methods: The Health Psychology office will consider papers employing mixed or quantitative methods, including meta-analyses.Outsid... of scope:Papers not grounded in psychological theory would be considered unsuitable for the Health Psychology office. Cross-sectional correlational studies using self-reported data only are typically not considered.Medical Sociology (Senior Co-Editors Janet Shim & Karen Spencer)Topics:The Medical Sociology office welcomes papers that engage with and contribute to the sociological literature on health, illness, and healthcare. Papers may address a wide range of health-related topics, including the structural, institutional/organi... and cultural contexts of health and illness; social determinants of health; and social aspects of healthcare and health systems.Methods:The Medical Sociology office welcomes manuscripts using a broad array of qualitative methods. Review and quantitative papers that are agenda-setting for medical sociology will also be considered.Outside of scope:n/aHealth Policy (Senior Co-Editors Justin Parkhurst & Roland Bal)Topics:The Health Policy office welcomes papers that have a global orientation and bring rigorous theory and methods from social sciences to health policy and systems research. Of special interest are papers that address current policy debates affecting health and health systems, compare health politics and policies across countries and regions, and/or employ innovative theoretical perspectives.Methods... Health Policy office will consider papers utilising a range of qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods.Outside of scope:n/aHealth Geography (Senior Editor Jamie Pearce)Topics:The Health Geography office welcomes papers that consider the role of place-based processes in explaining health and health-related experiences. This includes work on the social, cultural, political and environmental practices shaping the distribution, diffusion, and delivery of health and health care systems at a range of spatial scales, from the global to the local. We are interested in papers with the potential for policy and practice impact and to improve population health and reduce inequity.Methods:The Health Geography office will consider quantitative, qualitative as well as mixed methodological approaches.Outside of scope:n/a- ISSN: 0277-9536

Human Resource Management Review
Conceptual Development for Future ResearchThe Human Resource Management Review (HRMR) is a quarterly academic journal devoted to the publication of scholarly conceptual/theoretic... articles pertaining to human resource management and allied fields (e.g. industrial/organizat... psychology, human capital, labor relations, organizational behavior). HRMR welcomes manuscripts that focus on micro-, macro-, or multi-level phenomena relating to the function and processes of human resource management. HRMR publishes articles that provide new insights aimed at stimulating future theory development and empirical research. Critical examinations of existing concepts, theories models, and frameworks are also welcome as are quantitative meta-analytical reviews that make a conceptual/theoretic... contribution.Subject areas appropriate for HRMR include (but are not limited to) Strategic Human Resource Management, International Human Resource Management, the nature and role of the human resource function in organizations, any specific Human Resource function or activity (e.g., Job Analysis, Job Design, Workforce Planning, Recruitment, Selection and Placement, Performance and Talent Management, Reward Systems, Training, Development, Careers, Safety and Health, Diversity, Fairness, Discrimination, Employment Law, Employee Relations, Labor Relations, Workforce Metrics, HR Analytics, HRM and Technology, Social issues and HRM, Separation and Retention), topics that influence or are influenced by human resource management activities (e.g., Climate, Culture, Change, Leadership and Power, Groups and Teams, Employee Attitudes and Behavior, Individual, team, and/or Organizational Performance), and HRM Research Methods. Papers introducing or helping to advance our understanding of emergent HR topics or issues are also strongly encouraged.HRMR does not consider manuscripts that report qualitative or quantitative studies that test hypotheses or inductively examine ideas. In addition, conceptual papers and meta-analyses that do not sufficiently advance the literature in terms of providing novel insights for further theoretical development and empirical research will not be considered. Moreover, in its quest to foster the development of general theories and models, HRMR does not consider papers that deal with a single occupation, company, industry or country, nor cases of these entities (a single company, industry, etc. can be used as the primary example, but should not be the only example and the insights of the paper must be generalizable beyond that primary example). Finally, as a scholarly journal, manuscripts written primarily for practicing managers are also not considered. Submissions of these types of papers will be rejected as being outside the scope of the journal, unless requested as part of a special issue. The Editor and Associate Editors will provide an initial editorial review to determine whether submissions fall within the scope of the journal and/or are of sufficient merit to warrant peer review.- ISSN: 1053-4822

Journal of Strategy & Innovation
Journal of Strategy & Innovation invites high-quality research that advances understanding of strategy, innovation, and organizational transformation in a rapidly changing world. We welcome submissions from a broad range of contexts, including private industry, public sector organizations, research and technology ecosystems, non-profits, and mission-driven societal initiatives. The journal is particularly interested in work that examines how strategic and innovation practices shape, and are shaped by, technological, economic, environmental, and societal change.We encourage conceptual, empirical, and interdisciplinary contributions that offer strong theoretical, methodological, or practical insights. Studies may focus on firm-level strategy and innovation, industry and ecosystem dynamics, or the wider policy, societal, and economic implications of technological development.Within this remit, the journal highlights four illustrative areas of interest that reflect our strategic identity and community. These areas are not restrictive, but serve as examples of topics we particularly welcome:Strategic Management in Technology-Intensive and Innovation-Driven ContextsIncluding forward-looking strategy, anticipation practices, strategic foresight, and research that bridges the gap between the strategic management community and future-oriented innovation scholarship.Impact Assessment in Firms, Innovation Systems, and Policy ContextsResearch developing or applying multi-criteria, qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method approaches to assess the strategic, societal, environmental, or economic impacts of innovation — particularly when connected to strategic decision-making or governance.Intellect... Property, Intangible Assets, and Strategic AdvantageWork exploring how intellectual property, data assets, knowledge capital, and other intangibles contribute to competitive dynamics, strategic positioning, value creation, and organizational renewal.Deep-Tech Entrepreneurship and Emerging Technology VenturesIncluding venture creation, financing, scaling, governance, and commercialization pathways for science- and technology-based innovations.Beyond these areas, the journal remains open to diverse topics across strategy, innovation, and organization studies, including, but not limited to: innovation policy, societal and ethical implications of technology, sustainability and digital transformation, organizational renewal, collaboration and ecosystems, and new models of innovation.The Journal of Strategy & Innovation also welcomes high-quality literature reviews that help shape and advance scholarly debate. We particularly encourage reviews that go beyond synthesis by identifying emerging themes, offering fresh conceptual or methodological perspectives, and highlighting promising directions for future research where the journal seeks to foster discourse. Literature reviews that are mainly descriptive or do not open new pathways for meaningful academic debate are unlikely to be considered.- ISSN: 1047-8310
