Publishing in High-Ranked International Academic Journals: Editorial insights

Drawing on their experience as editors, reviewers and authors, Tony Dundon and Dave Collings (Editors of Human Resource Management Journal) will give a talk on publishing in top-ranked international peer-reviewed journals. Among other aspects, the talk will consider both the editorial and reviewers’ roles and discuss how manuscripts progress from submission to publication. It will also provide some guidance on the pitfalls which mean many papers fail to progress at higher ranked outlets.
