We are a team of 4 faculty members in a Government University, and intend to start a quality research journal in management studies. Can anyone here guide on how to start with?
thanks in Anticipation
Hi Shahid,
Firstly.
I will not recommend towards starting a new journal, rather aim towards becoming a editor or a senior editor of a high ranking international journal that publishes in your field. This would give you more international visibility and valuable international networks .
However, if you really aim to start a new journal, than the following would help you.
1. You need to clear define the space, location and audience of the journal, its overall aim, frequency of publication... ( this is the major step and needs to be perfectly articulated)
2. find a list of editors and reviewers who would be willing to contribute ( second major step before you approach a publisher)
3. Publisher ( sage, emerald, springer, oxford) are good once and contact them ..You can meet these publshers at international conferences like AOM, EGOS ( here they are very helpful and would guide you through)
4. Your first two issues should be ready..
5. indexing of the journal in databases, it is very important that the journal is indexed in ebseco, google, research gate, scopus
Dear Anirudh Agrawal Sir,
Thanks a lot for the response.
Indeed, your suggestions would go a long way in materializing this idea. I will keep sharing with you the progress in this direction. Meanwhile, I may bother you again with the queries.
Sincerely
