In search of the impactful and the interesting: Swings of the pendulum?
In this article we reflect on our time as editors of JMS during the period 2003-09. First we describe the context as we saw it on assuming editorship of the Journal and the actions that we took to improve the quality of scholarship published in the journal in order to set JMS on the trajectory to be...

sg-smu-ink.lkcsb_research-72692019-09-20T03:56:00Z In search of the impactful and the interesting: Swings of the pendulum? CLARK, Timothy Adrian Robert FLOYD, Steven W. WRIGHT, Mike In this article we reflect on our time as editors of JMS during the period 2003-09. First we describe the context as we saw it on assuming editorship of the Journal and the actions that we took to improve the quality of scholarship published in the journal in order to set JMS on the trajectory to become a world-leading Journal. We articulate our view of what quality means in this context and observe that we eschewed the USA-Europe divide. Rather, to be publishable, all papers had to meet the highest standards relative to their epistemological assumptions. Finally, we address two important challenges facing the Journal, and indeed management research in general, and consider what they mean for the future of JMS, notably in relation to open access publishing and to provide greater practical relevance. We conclude that the latter represents a swing of the pendulum towards the kinds of papers published in the early years of JMS but that recent developments in JMS provide new conceptual frameworks and empirical methods that contribute to enhanced insights for practice. 2013-12-01T08:00:00Z text application/pdf https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/lkcsb_research/6270 info:doi/10.1111/joms.12038 https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/context/lkcsb_research/article/7269/viewcontent/Search_impactful_interesting_2013_sv_dro.pdf Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University Business schools Journal editing Impact Open access Business Scholarly Publishing |
