Call for Papers-Journal of Leadership and Organizational Effectiveness


The Journal of Leadership and Organizational Effectiveness is seeking submissions of manuscripts in leadership research. As an open access journal it can be viewed by anyone on the web. There is no length requirement of the submissions as long as they are in the fields of business, leadership, economics, organizational behavior or education.

Before submitting your work it is often beneficial to see what other publications were accepted.  Their latest publication includes works on small business administration, employee performance appraisals, marketing and stakeholder value in corporate governance. Even if you are not interested in publishing you may want to read some of their listings. 

It is important to stay abreast of changes in the market. New research helps executives, managers, and directors learn about new changes in their fields. Understanding research from its source creates innovation within companies. A few ideas today could be worth millions tomorrow as companies seek ways to become more competitive.

They also host a number of conferences. Their website contains additional information about the publishing source and their criteria. You may want to see their “about” page here.  I have not worked with the journal nor ever published with them. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider them as a possible publishing source. When time permits the blog will make readers aware of different academic sources of information. There is no endorsement of any particular source.

Call for Papers in Management and Applied Economics


The Journal of Advances in Management and Applied Economics (AMAE) recently announced an open call for management and economic articles. Their application process is simple and includes filling out an online form and uploading your research. The articles are peer reviewed and move through an approval process designed to maintain quality. Once accepted they are published within the journal for others to see. 

Even if you are not a person seeking to publish work you can browse their recent journal (Vol. 3 Issue 4). There are a number of articles of interest that include Common Sense Leadership,  External Debt and Economic Growth, China’s Chaotic Growth Model, Steady Manufacturing Processes, and more. You can access their free journal at ScienPress LTD

Free Journals are one way in which executives, researchers, and managers can continue to keep up on current literature. Such literature helps them update their understandings of the fields in which they work and encourage more sophisticated thinking processes. As such, journals were expensive and most decision-makers read from newspapers and magazines missing much of the deeper importance of the findings and methods of strategic implementation. 

Free journals offer an opportunity to find a broader audience for the findings and help to foster a level of practical utility to new information. It is a way in which industry and academic research can move faster into the market. Prior to this, like book publishing, great research didn’t always make it into publication. Those that did get published had a few other academics look at their work. Nothing special happened and academics to business integration were slow.

Scienpress Ltd provides free access to a number of journals, their research, and content. The journals are freely distributed and available out of multiple locations.
