*Call for Special Issue proposals for Human Resource Management*



Dear colleagues

*Human Resource Management* cordially invites proposals for special issues
(SIs) that capture cutting-edge research insights and trends in the field
of human resource management (HRM) that have significant theoretical and
practical implications. *Human Resource Management* is one of the Financial
Times top 50 business journals with a 2018 impact factor of 2.934, 75/217
(Management), 19/82 (Psychology, Applied). Covering the broad spectrum of
contemporary HRM issues, *Human Resource Management *provides academics and
practitioners with the latest concepts, tools, and information for
effective problem solving and decision making in this field. Broad in
scope, it explores issues of societal, organizational, and individual
relevance. Journal articles discuss new findings, new theories, new
techniques, case studies, models, and research trends of particular
significance to practicing HR managers.

An SI proposal should include the following elements:

1.       Proposed SI title

2.       Information about each of the proposed guest editors (names,
titles, affiliations and email addresses)

3.       A short bio (approx. 150 words) about each of the proposed guest
editors

4.       Rationale and objectives of the SI

5.       A statement of potential theoretical advancement and practical
significance of the SI

6.       Key themes/scope of focus of the SI

7.       A statement of how and where the Call for Papers will be
advertised to generate interest and attract high quality submissions
globally (e.g. which distribution lists, networks or associations)

8.       A list of potential established scholars to be targeted for
quality submissions

9.       Proposed submission date

10.   Reference list

Proposals should be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief of *Human Resource
Management* Ryan D. Zimmerman: [log in to unmask] and Associate Editor for
Special Issues Fang Lee Cooke: [log in to unmask] by *15th December 2019*.
When submitting proposals, please include in the email subject line: *‘HRM
Special Issue Proposal’*.

All proposals will be reviewed by members of the editorial team and
assessed based on the quality of the likely contributions and their
relevance to the mission and scope of *Human Resource Management*.
Decisions will be conveyed to the SI proposers approximately 4 weeks after
the submission deadline. It is the *Human Resource Management* policy that
an Associate Editor will work with the guest editorial team as one of the
guest editors for each SI to ensure consistency of *Human Resource
Management* standard and practice.

All papers for the SI will be subject to the same double blind peer review
process as regular issues of *Human Resource Management* and accepted
papers must meet the editorial standards of* Human Resource Management**.*
Papers should be prepared and submitted according to the journal’s
guidelines:
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/1099050x/homepage/forauthors.html.


The publication date will be allocated once all the papers for the SI have
been accepted.
