Research notes are preferable between 3,000 and 4,000 words (but up to 5,000 may be accepted under
certain conditions) and are otherwise adhering to the research paper instructions regarding e.g.,
referencing and bibliographic information. Research notes are reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief and one or
more Associate Editors. Research notes can also be invited by the editor or members of the editorial
team in collaboration with the editor.
Our book review section contains three different types of book reviews. First, ordinary reviews on recent
books by well-known scholars, but also on more avantgarde or marginal works and on books published
in languages other than English. SJM wants to provide the readers with reviews on interesting books that
other major journals are unlikely to cover. Furthermore, reviews should cover an overview of the
contents of the book as well as a critical account of the book, i.e. its merits and its shortcomings. Length
of text should be around 1,400-1,800 words. Secondly, we have vintage book reviews, i.e. reviews on
classics in management. This type of book review primarily target, but are not exclusively restricted to,
Scandinavian classics in which an overview of its contents should be provided as well as an account of
what the current value is to today’s research and societal problems. Length of text should be around
1,000-1,400 words. Third, there is the possibility to write book review essays. A book review essay
implies reading and comparing several books in such a manner that the reviewer includes his/hers own
original analysis of a management phenomenon. Such a review could either include books from different
disciplines – an interdisciplinary approach – that taken together are relevant for Management, or include
books from the same discipline. Length of text should be around 2,000 words.
