HRMJ OVERVIEW

Human Resource Management Journal (HRMJ) is a scholarly journal, published by Wiley-Blackwell, which aims to promote the theory and practice of HRM, to provide an international forum for discussion and debate, and to stress the critical importance of people management to a wide range of economic, political and social concerns. HRMJ’s focus lies in providing a critical link between high quality academic research and the practical implications for business practice. Over the last decade, HRMJ has broadened its editorial scope to become more globally orientated and has strengthened the international character of its Editorial Team and Board.

HRMJ seeks to publish well-written, well-researched and well-informed articles on any aspect of employment studies but especially those focused on issues related to the management of people at work. Articles should appeal both to practitioners and academics by virtue of their contribution to contemporary issues, the good use of theory and research and well-founded conclusions and practical implications. HRMJ is open to qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods approaches.

HRMJ operates a minimum of double blind-review. Our review system seeks to provide constructive, critical and timely feedback (average days from submission to final decision is less than 90 days) on submissions.

HRMJ is accessed by almost 5,000 institutions and libraries worldwide. HRMJ articles average 130,000 annual downloads.

In 2016, we had almost 360 original submissions and our paper acceptance rate stands at 9.8%.

HRMJ’s one-year ISI impact factor is currently 1.845, ranking us 6th out of 26 journals in the "industrial and labor relations" category, and 71st out of 192 journals in the “management” category.

The journal is ranked as a "4", reserved for journals that “publish the most original and best-executed research” in the current Association of Business Schools (ABS) Academic Journal Guide (UK). The journal is also ranked ‘A’ by the Australian Business Deans Council journal list.
