Editorial Policies

Authors interested in publishing articles in Academy of Management Perspectives (formerly Academy of Management Executive) must submit a short proposal outlining their project and get feedback on their approach before submitting a manuscript. Authors are encouraged to review the Proposal Guidelines for directions. If the proposal is accepted, the author will be invited to submit an article.

Manuscripts should be formatted as Word files, double-spaced, and no more than 30 pages in length, including figures. Authors should supply a separate cover sheet with the names and complete contact information for the primary author and any co-authors. Their names should not appear elsewhere in the manuscript.

Starting with the February 2007 issue, we are now strictly adhering to the APA Style Guide (5^th edition). All manuscripts should be prepared using this manual. A manual can be purchased from the American Psychological Association's web site: http://www.apastyle.org.

Examples of APA Style

In-text Citations Instead of endnotes, APA Style calls for in-text citations with references at the end of the manuscript. In-text references should read as follows:

In a recent study of reaction times (Walker, 2001)
Walker (2001) compared reaction times
In 2001, Walker compared reaction times

Past research (Smith, Corbin, & Gogel, 1985) has shown
