Authors are invited to submit for review manuscripts of approximately 50 double spaced typewritten pages using a fixed space, 10- 12 pitch
typeface. Manuscripts should conform to the guidelines of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (4th
ed). All manuscripts must include a 100-150 word abstract typed on a separate page. Examples of the forms of presentation that would
be appropriate include:
• Conceptual analyses and theoretical presentations• Short concept statements and alternative
interpretations of phenomena and research findings• Critiques, rebuttals, and planned debates• Integrative literature reviews
and meta-analyses that produce important new insights or research questions• Symposia (proposals must be submitted for review first;
upon approval, the actual presentations must be prepared and submitted for review in toto)• Mathematical derivations and proofs
Reports of empirical findings, and problems of methods and design are ordinarily not appropriate.
Manuscripts will be initially
screened by the editor for adherence to the format and content guidelines specified above and in the editorial policy statement. Those
passing this screening will then be reviewed according to the following criteria:
• Significance of contribution to HRM, industrial
/ organizational psychology, or allied field• Freedom from logical and, if relevant, mathematical errors• Plausibility of
premises• Parsimony of explanation• Gains over the theory or practice to be supplanted, if applicable• Clarity and
conciseness of presentation• Demonstrated awareness of previous work on the subject• Distinctness from other contributions
on the subject
Manuscripts must not be under simultaneous consideration for publication elsewhere and their content must not have
been published in whole or substantial part in any other copyrighted publication.
All articles published in the Review are
subject to a blind review process. Obvious self-citations that make known an author's identification should be avoided, where possible.
Submission of papers
Submission for all types of manuscripts to Human Resource Management Review proceeds totally
online, via the Elsevier Editorial System Web site for this journal at http://ees.elsevier.com/humres. You will be guided
stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various files. When submitting a manuscript to Elsevier Editorial System, authors
need to provide an electronic version of their manuscript. In an accompanying cover letter, authors should state that the manuscript,
or parts of it, have not been and will not be submitted elsewhere for publication. Please note that an editable file is needed for production
purposes after acceptance, and we ask that you submit source files in the case that your manuscript is accepted. PDF files are also acceptable.
Authors are requested to include a cover letter, manuscript, tables, and figures, as well as any ancillary materials.
Authors unable
to submit an electronic version should contact the Editorial Office, details below:
Dr. Rodger W. Griffeth, Editor Human Resource
Management Review Department of Management University of New Orleans New Orleans, LA 70148 (504) 280-6380 rgriffet@uno.edu
Authors should select a category designation for their manuscripts (article, short communication, review, etc.). Once the uploading
is done, the system automatically generates an electronic (PDF) proof, which is then used for reviewing once approved and submitted to
the journal by the author. All correspondence, including the editor's decision and request for revisions, will be by e-mail to the corresponding
author of the paper.
Editorial Policy
The Human Resource Management Review is a quarterly journal devoted to the
publication of scholarly. conceptual/theoretica1 articles pertaining to,human resource management and allied fields (e.g., industrial
organizational psychology, labor relations; organizational behavior). Meta-analytical reviews that make a conceptual/theoretical contribution
are also appropriate. It focuses on issues of function and process, preferably addressed at the micro (i.e., individual and group) level.
However, the Review will also consider articles at the macro (organizational and societal) level of analysis. Its purpose is to provide
a forum for ideas that will stimulate and lead to empirical research, as well as for the critical examination of existing concepts,
models,
and frameworks. Subject areas considered appropriate include, but are not limited to, personnel selection, compensation, performance
appraisal, attraction and retention, training and development, human resource applications of computer technology, and human resource
planning.
