Aims and scope

When submitting a manuscript, authors will be taken to a service called Paperpal Preflight, an AI-driven tool that checks manuscripts against the journal's author guidelines. Authors are free to use or bypass this step and submit directly to ScholarOne.

Aims

  • To share practical ‘work-applied’ management insights relevant to managers in private, public and community organisations
  • To share ‘work-applied’ management insights relevant to academics seeking to improve work-based, work-applied, collaborative, and experiential approaches
  • To translate and challenge new developments in the use of case-based, reflective and action-oriented research methodologies.

Scope

Journal of Work-Applied Management (JWAM) publishes articles that share work-applied management insights generated at the nexus of practice and theory. Therefore, we are particularly seeking original articles which:

  • Use work-based, work-applied, collaborative, and experiential approaches, such as case-based, reflective and action-oriented research methodologies, and
  • Are relevant to practitioners/researchers in developing and challenging this field of practice across public, private and community sectors and academic subject disciplines.

JWAM operates a double-blind peer review model. All articles undergo an initial assessment by the journal Editor. If it is not clear how an article links to the focus of the journal, it will be rejected at this stage. if an article is considered suitable for peer review, then typically two external experts will review it to assess its suitability for publication. Final responsibility for editorial decisions rest with the Editor-in-Chief.
