Publishing Impactful Literature Reviews in AMLE
这篇编辑评论呼吁管理学习与教育领域增加文献综述,并提出了由承诺、视角和前景三部分组成的结构指南,帮助作者为AMLE期刊撰写有影响力的综述文章。
This “From the Editors” (FTE) piece1 calls for more literature reviews in management learning and education (MLE). Review articles in MLE are still scarce, which is regrettable since literature reviews are an important research methodology (Snyder, 2019). They hold equal status with empirical, conceptual, and essay articles. Literature reviews are arguably the most impactful genre of academic communication (Patriotta, 2020), owing to their ability to take stock and foster the development of new theoretical approaches (Kunisch, Denyer, Bartunek, Menz & Cardinal, 2022). To encourage the development of more review pieces, in this FTE we clarify the expectations for literature reviews submitted to Academy of Management Learning & Education (AMLE). We begin by discussing the current state of literature reviews in MLE and clarifying their importance as a genre of academic writing. We then outline a three-part structure comprised of promise, perspective, and prospects to guide authors when developing reviews for AMLE.
