The Journal of Management Studies was established in 1963 as one of the first general management journals. It publishes innovative, novel and high-quality papers that advance theoretical and empirical knowledge in the area of management. It is one of the leading management journals in the world; it has been part of the FT50 journal list since 2011, has a 2109 Impact Factor of 4.888 and an ISI Ranking of 28/152 (Business) and 32/226 (Management).
Essential qualities sought from candidates include the following:
- Significant scholarly contributions in any area of management studies. It is expected that applicants will identify a specific category as a primary area of expertise, but the ability to handle manuscripts across a wide range topics and domains is important.
- Extensive experience as a reviewer for management journals and, for the General Editor role, editorial experience.
- Demonstrated administrative skills, capacity to handle a demanding workload and to meet deadlines.
- Must be able to work constructively with authors, reviewers and the editorial team.
- Must be prepared to contribute to the success of the journal through attendance at editorial meetings and representing the journal at events and to institutions.
- Must have methodological expertise in quantitative and/or qualitative methods.
