Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines. The bibliography must follow APA standards.
  • Although the full contact details of the authors have to be entered at the time of registration on the site, they must not appear in the submitted texts in order to guarantee blind evaluation.
  • Articles based on a qualitative approach must follow the recommendations to authors for qualitative studies given below

Author Guidelines

These recommendations may be amended without prior notice by the journal's editorial board.

The journal Management & Prospective examines all proposals for articles on management-related subjects (corporate strategy, marketing, finance, human resources, production, international trade, etc.).

The two languages accepted for submission are French and English.

Articles must be written in such a way as to be accessible to all (whether or not they are specialists in a particular discipline or method) and written in a rigorous manner in compliance with scientific standards (high-quality, up-to-date state of the art, robust methodology, etc)...

All articles submitted are evaluated blind by two academic experts.

Current presentation standards must be strictly adhered to (see ‘General standards and “Recommendations to authors for qualitative studies”). Texts that do not comply with procedure and form will not be submitted for assessment. The main tables, figures and diagrams must be inserted into the text. Elements may be appended for the evaluation of the article, but will not necessarily be published.

Any article submitted by an author automatically implies their agreement for their text to be published in its two versions: English and French.

GENERAL STANDARDS

  • The first page should include :
    • the title of the article in French and English ;
    • a summary of around twelve lines in French and English,
    • 5 to 7 key words in French and English.
  • Articles typed on 1.5 line spacing should be between 30,000 and 45,000 characters without spaces (see the counter provided by MS Word, for example).
  • Articles should be written in A4 format. The margins should be 3 cm (top, bottom, left and right). Paragraphs should be justified and the document should be paginated (bottom right in the footer).
  • Tables, diagrams, images, etc. should be numbered in ascending order (Table 1, Table 2, etc. Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.) and independent of the titles and subtitles in which they are inserted. They must be preceded by a short title and the source if they are borrowed. It is not necessary to indicate the source when the article is produced by the authors alone.
  • Notes, which should be used sparingly, should be placed at the bottom of each page in the order 1,2,3,...
  • Appendices should be limited to a maximum of five pages.
  • The body of the text must not contain any bold, italic or underlined characters.
  • There will be only two levels of hierarchy in the body of the text: headings and sub-headings. A line break must precede and follow each heading or subheading.

The parts of the text follow a simple numerical numbering system:

1.
1.1.
1.2.

  • The introduction and conclusion will be considered as headings and will be numbered. The text therefore begins with 1. Introduction.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO AUTHORS FOR QUALITATIVE STUDIES - 

Updated March 17, 2024 

 Our review does not favour one methodology over another. We therefore expect the same level of scientific rigor for articles adopting a qualitative methodology as for those using a quantitative one. 

To be evaluated, articles based on a qualitative approach must include the following elements: 

I/ Methodology based on interviews or focus groups 

1/ For interviews: interview guide (appended), for focus groups: introductory guidelines and main questions. 

2/ A table with participants' socio-demographic data and interview duration (sessions). 

3/ characterization of the database resulting from the transcriptions of interviews or discussions: number of pages, number of words, lexical density, overall readability, etc. (using software such as Textalizer).

See for example: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322335980_Repenser_le_modele_humanitaire_de_l efficiency_to_resilience 

 

4/ a detailed description of data coding. 

5/ an explanation of how the data was processed: a semantic tree appended, for example (capture from NVivo or another software program). Providing a table of the themes or verbatims that emerged from the analysis is not enough.  

II/ Case studies 

Preliminary remark: referring to Yin (2013) or other authors is not a sufficient justification.  

First of all, the case study methodology and its form (single or multiple cases) must be justified. It is important to show that the case or cases chosen are appropriate to the research question. This choice must allow for comparability. In the case of a single case, comparability over time or in relation to a particular event (before and after a crisis, for example) is essential. Secondly, data collection must guarantee triangulation and data saturation.  

Finally, the methodology is similar to that of interviews, which is quite logical since case studies generally involve interviews. It is therefore essential to : 

1/ describe the database (number of images, number of words, lexical density, overall readability) using software such as Textalizer. 

2/ provide a detailed explanation of data coding. 

3/ show in concrete terms how the data has been processed, for example by providing an appended semantic tree (capture from NVivo or another software program). Providing a table of the themes or verbatims that emerged from the analysis is not sufficient.  

Please check that these elements are included in your submission, either in the body of the text or as an appendix.
