Expanding the conversation through ‘Debate Essays’ and ‘Review Methodology’ papers

Review articles published in International Journal of Management Reviews (IJMR) have gained an international reputation for the strength of their scholarly contribution, as evidenced by the growth in the journal's 2-year impact factor to 7.6 (Breslin et al. 2020). We continue to receive an increasing number of submissions to the journal, showing that ever more authors recognize the importance of reviews, and are engaged in writing review articles.

As Editors, a number of developments have emerged that have prompted us to consider ways of expanding the journal's reach within the reviews field even further and, to address these, we are introducing two new rolling special sections to the journal; we warmly invite scholars to contribute to these.
