Language

Authors should keep in mind that, while meeting high academic quality standards, articles should be potentially interesting and readable for non-specialists of one particular field. Articles should be an accessible source of useful information and ideas for practitioners and students. Therefore, plain and clear expression is very desirable. Either American or British English will be accepted, although it must be consistent. Language editing is the responsibility of authors. Authors who require information about language editing and copyediting services pre- and post-submissions please visit: External link http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/authorshome.authors/languagepolishing

Manuscripts

Authors are invited to submit articles via the online submission site of External link http://ees.elsevier.com/emj - here you can find further information and register.

Please upload one copy of the full paper including graphics and all figures as graphics files separately. The system automatically converts source files to a single Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article, which is used in the peer-reviewed process. Please note that even though manuscript source files are converted to PDF at submission for the review process, these source files are needed for further processing after acceptance. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revision, takes place by e-mail and via the Author's homepage, removing the need for a hard-copy paper trail.

All authors must sign the 'Transfer of Copyright' agreement before the article can be published. This transfer agreement enables Elsevier Ltd to protect the copyrighted material for the authors, but does not relinquish the author's proprietary rights. The copyright transfer covers the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the article, including reprints, photographic reproduction, microfilm or any other reproductions of similar nature and translations, and includes the right to adapt the article for use in conjunction with computer systems and programs, including reproduction or publication in machine-readable form and incorporation in retrieval systems. Authors are responsible for obtaining from the copyright holder permission to reproduce any figures for which copyright exists.

All papers will be subject to initial appraisal for the refereering process. The Editor's word is final.

Articles will be accepted up to 9000 words in length, but shorter papers are preferred.

Submission of a manuscript to the European Management Journal implies a commitment by the author to publish in it. Articles previously published and those under consideration by another journal may not be submitted.

Articles should be submitted with a photograph and a short biography (not exceeding 80 words) covering the author's professional career and interests, for publication alongside the article.

Either American or British English will be accepted, although it must be consistent. Authors whose mother tongue is not English are encouraged to write in the British version.

An abstract not exceeding 100 words should accompany each manuscript submitted. Authors are also asked to supply a maximum of 10 key words or phrases which will be useful for indexing purposes.

References

The manuscript should include a reference list containing only those references cited in the text. The references should be arranged in alphabetical order according to the surname of the first author. Works by the same author should be listed in order of publication. Each reference should contain full bibliographical details. The author's name should be as it appears in the publication, and journal titles should not be abbreviated, e.g.
