About the Journal

The aim of the Journal of Management Policy and Practice (JMPP) is to publish research that conceptualizes, tests, or extends management theory. It is also the aim of JMPP for all research to have an end benefit to practitioners and policy makers. All empirical methods-including, but not limited to, qualitative, quantitative, field, laboratory, meta-analytic, and combination methods-are welcome. Accepted manuscripts must make strong empirical and/or theoretical contributions and highlight the significance of those contributions to the management field. JMPP is not tied to any particular discipline, level of analysis, or national context. Authors should strive to be bold but theoretically grounded in their research.

The target acceptance bounds of JMPP run between 12% and 18%. All articles go through a double blind review process, and acceptance decisions are made within forty-five days of submission. Authors of unaccepted papers are free to submit their papers to another journal.

Impact Information

North American Business Press uses the h-index to measure the impact of its research. We chose this approach as the ISI (Thomson Reuters) citation approach only includes journals listed within their proprietary database. The h-index uses Google Scholar which is a better representation of all published work and we believe it is the direction of the future.

The h-index is an easy to understand method, proposed by Jorge E. Hirsch, to quantitatively measure the impact of a particular researcher or academic journal. For example, a journal has an h-index of 5, if, during the years 2016 and 2017, five of the total papers published during those years were each cited at least five times. The selection of the years 2016 and 2017 allows for an extra full year (2018) to account for the typical delay in the publication of research, and therefore in the production of new citations.

The 2018 h-index for the Journal of Management Policy and Practice is 24.

As a point of comparison, the 2018 h-index for the Journal of Marketing Management is 8, and the 2018 h-dex for the Journal of Applied Business Research is 2.
