  • Journal of Health Economics

    • ISSN: 0167-6296
    The Journal of Health Economics publishes economic analyses that deepen understanding of the value, production or distribution of health or healthcare. It aims to publish original research that advances knowledge in health economics or informs health policy.We welcome submissions that use economic theory or methods to deliver insights into a) value of health, b) economic impact of health, c) health behavior and inequality, d) determinants of health, e) healthcare costs, payments and financing, f) production and innovation in healthcare and pharmaceuticals, g) healthcare and health insurance competition and regulation, or h) economic evaluation of health policies or programs. We encourage submissions examining these topics in any setting, provided results are relevant outside narrow geographic boundaries. We publish papers of any length. There is no separate submission channel for short papers, which are encouraged. Generally, we do not publish a) opinion pieces, b) (systematic) reviews, c) cost-of-illness studies, d) applications of cost-effectiveness, efficiency or discrete-choice analyses without methodological innovation or high-impact evidence, c) time series analyses, and d) epidemiological studies with no economic analysis. A comment on a JHE article will be published only if it makes a substantial contribution by reevaluating results of a high-impact study.The JHE receives around 1200 submissions per year and publishes around 6%. We pre-screen all submissions and desk reject about 75% that a) fall outside our scope, b) use data or methods likely to compromise evidence validity, or c) do not make a substantial contribution. With a high volume of submissions, unfortunately, we cannot give detailed reasons for each desk-reject decision. There is no process to appeal a reject decision. A rejected paper cannot be resubmitted, unless the decision letter specifies conditions under which the paper would be reconsidered. Submission link: https://www.editoria...
  • Labour Economics

    • ISSN: 0927-5371
    The Official Journal of the European Association of Labour Economists (EALE)Labour Economics is devoted to publishing international research on empirical, theoretical and econometric topics that are of particular interest to labour economists. In particular, Labour Economics gives due recognition to solid empirical work with a strong economic interpretation. From time to time Labour Economics publishes review articles and articles on comparative labour market policies. Special issues and special sections of Labour Economics are available for the publication of collections of high quality topical papers or conference papers.Send us your past reportsTo improve the speed and quality of decisions, Labour Economics encourages authors to provide information relating to prior submission of the paper at other journals.

  • World Development

    • ISSN: 0305-750X
    The Multi-Disciplinary International Journal Devoted to the Study and Promotion of World DevelopmentWorld Development is a multi-disciplinary monthly journal of development studies. It seeks to explore ways of improving standards of living, and the human condition generally, by examining potential solutions to problems such as: poverty, unemployment, malnutrition, disease, lack of shelter, environmental degradation, inadequate scientific and technological resources, trade and payments imbalances, international debt, gender and ethnic discrimination, militarism and civil conflict, and lack of popular participation in economic and political life.Contributions offer constructive ideas and analysis, and highlight the lessons to be learned from the experiences of different nations, societies, and economies. World Development recognizes 'development' as a process of change involving nations, economies, political alliances, institutions, groups, and individuals. Development processes occur in different ways and at all levels: inside the family, the firm and the farm; locally, provincially, nationally, and globally. Our goal is to learn from one another, regardless of nation, culture, income, academic discipline, profession or ideology. We hope to set a modest example of enduring global cooperation through maintaining an international dialogue and dismantling barriers to communication.Author... are also welcome to submit to the journal's companion title, World Development Perspectives .
  • Journal of Strategy & Innovation

    • ISSN: 3050-7901
    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.
  • Futures

    • ISSN: 0016-3287
    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
  • Human Resource Management Review

    • ISSN: 1053-4822
    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.
