The International Journal of Management Reviews (IJMR) is ranked 30/302 in business journals and 32/401 in management journals, with a 2023 2-year impact factor of 7.5 and 5-year impact factor of 12.3. The journal has gone from strength to strength in recent years and is now clearly positioned as one of the leading literature reviews journals. We currently have vacancies for three Associate Editors, and we hope that the three new Associate Editors can start working with us as soon as possible.
We are looking for senior academics who are familiar with literature review methodologies and ideally have experience as an Associate Editor on another journal, or who have extensive relevant reviewing experience of review papers. As a broad-based management journal, we are keen to ensure breadth of expertise across our editorial team, and would particularly welcome applicants with expertise in entrepreneurship, international business, operations management, technology/IT, and HRM/international HRM.
As an Associate Editor, your role is essentially:
- To co-ordinate the refereeing of manuscripts and to make recommendations to the managing editors regarding manuscript publication. You should be prepared to manage approximately 8 to 12 articles through the review process each year, some of which may not be in your primary field, although we will make every effort to match the article to the appropriate associate editor.
- To seek contributions to the journal from colleagues and throughout the international academic community.
- To identify key areas of research where the journal can publish and solicit articles from researchers with international reputations for scholarship.
- To recommend and solicit suggestions for topics for reviews and special issues.
- To promote the journal at conferences and at other academic events, where possible.
- To commit to attending journal meetings with the Editors, where possible.
- To develop the editorial direction and strategy for International Journal of Management Reviews with your fellow associate editors and the team at Wiley.
The new Associate Editors will join our growing team of 11 Associate Editors with a 3-year appointment.
Please contact the Managing Editor, Emma Missen, at [email protected] if you would like to apply. We especially encourage applications from academics in underrepresented groups, and in particular women. Geographically, we would particularly welcome applicants from Asia, Africa, Canada and the Americas.
Please include your CV and a covering letter explaining why you would like to be considered.
The deadline for applications is 17:00 BST on Thursday 1st May 2025.
