Author Guidelines

Submissions

Papers submitted to the International Journal of Management, Knowledge and Learning are accepted on the understanding that they are original and not under simultaneous consideration by any other publication.

The number of authors of the paper submission is limited to a maximum of four.

Submitted manuscripts may be subject to checks in order to detect instances of plagiarism.

Double-blind review

All papers are subject to double-blind peer review using a standard manuscript review form. Reviewers perform work on a volunteer basis; they are obligated to disclose to Editor any conflicts of interest, to keep information pertaining to the manuscript confidential and to evaluate manuscripts only for their intellectual content. To facilitate this, authors need to ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in a way that does not give away their identity.

The final decision for the publication of a submitted manuscript is the responsibility of the Editors. The Editors should confer with the members of the Editorial Board in making this decision. All submissions will receive an answer from the editors, either if the manuscript is rejected or accepted for publication. Manuscripts should be processed in less than 6 months from the date of submission.
