Submission
Guidelines
CMR interprets management broadly, to include subject
matter taught in business schools as well as work in other
fields that is applicable to management functions and practices.
CMR typically publishes articles that extend our knowledge
of a given topic either by building upon existing theories
or by presenting new empirical work. CMR is particularly
interested in manuscripts that focus on corporate strategy
and organization, the management of technology, business and
public policy, and managing in the global business economy.
Articles that present the results of original research and
analysis are given high priority, but we also invite reports
on business surveys, analyses or descriptions of new or revised
business techniques, and perspectives on contemporary social,
economic, and political issues. We also welcome articles by
practitioners on contemporary business policies and practices
as well as revisions of papers originally prepared for academic
conferences or scholarly publications. All submissions are
subject to peer review.
Submissions and query letters will be promptly acknowledged.
Authors can normally expect a publication decision
within eight to twelve weeks, and accepted articles
are generally published within four to six months.
Manuscripts will not be returned. CMR
does not accept multiple submissions (manuscripts simultaneously
submitted to other publications).
Format:
- CMR accepts electronic submissions
(e-mail: cmr@haas.berkeley.edu).
Manuscripts should be submitted in Microsoft Word
format (not Adobe Acrobat).
- Manuscript submissions should include complete mailing
and e-mail addresses as well as a one-paragraph summary
(abstract) of its basic argument. The author(s)'s
name should not appear anywhere on the manuscript except
on the first (cover) page.
- Manuscripts should run between twenty-five and thirty-five
pages, double-spaced (7,000 to 8,000 words). Please
inquire with the editor before submitting articles of greater
length.
- Notes, citations, and references should be numbered in
the text and compiled at the end of the manuscript (endnote
format). All bibliographic material should be contained
directly in the notes and not as a separate section.
- Tables, charts, and diagrams should be placed on separate
pages within the manuscript.
Style:
- Articles should be as jargon-free as possible.
Terminology and acronyms that are not common knowledge should
be defined. Technical material should be placed in
notes or appendices whenever possible.
- Three descending levels of headings should be used periodically
and consistently throughout the article. They should
be descriptive but brief.
- Tables, charts, diagrams, and other graphic materials
should be used for providing necessary information or clarification
of central concepts. They should be clean and uncluttered
and should appear on separate pages.
- Notes should also be kept to a minimum. Citation
order should be author(s) (first name first), title of work,
complete publication information (city, state, publisher,
date or name of periodical, volume and issue number, date),
and page number references. The accuracy of citations
and references is the responsibility of the author(s).
- CMR uses the Chicago Manual of Style as primary
reference source.
- For more specific style questions, consult a recent issue
of CMR.
