Information for Reviewers | Engineering Management Review

Please read the guidelines carefully

In case you do not have an IEEE account yet, please sign up for an account here.

Once you have such an account, you can submit articles and you can be invited as a reviewer. Make sure to add as much detail as possible, which makes it easier to match your interest and background to potential review requests. If you are first time reviewer, we recommend you check these general reviewer resources from IEEE.

In general, there are three different types of articles in Engineering Management Review. Indicate your preference when talking with the editorial staff:

• Technology Managers Notebook (TMN) articles: 500–2000 words (Evidence through experience, Editorial Review).
  See sample article.
• Shorter Articles and Case Studies: 2000–4000 words (Evidence through research, Peer Review).
  See sample article.
• Longer Articles and Reviews: 7500–10,000 words (Evidence through research, Peer Review).
  See sample article.

Reviewer Guidelines

• Please read these open access EMR editorials that describe the Journal’s philosophy and purpose as a journal-of-practice:
  • Publishing in a Practice-Oriented Journal
  • Call for Technology Manager’s Notebook Articles
• Read other articles published in EMR, which are available on IEEE XPLORE.
• You must provide your review within the FOUR week timeline. If you are unable to complete your review within the requested time, please contact us right away and suggest potential alternate reviewers if possible.
• Please do NOT provide information in your review that reveals your identity and do not seek to discover the identity of the authors. This protects the integrity of the “double-blind” review process.
• Please write your review in an electronic document. You will need this format for electronic submission of your reviews. You can also add comments to the submission itself and upload this file with your review recommendation.
• In case you have any technical problems or questions, please reach out to our journal manager Priyanka Roy at roy.p@ieee.org

Conflicts of interest, whether actual, perceived, or potential, must be avoided. IEEE defines a conflict of interest as any situation, transaction, or relationship in which someone’s decisions or actions could materially affect that individual’s professional, personal, financial, or business concerns. A perceived conflict of interest happens when a third party might reasonably conclude that an individual’s private interests could improperly influence the performance of his or her action. A conflict of interest happens especially when a reviewer evaluates an article written by an author with whom the reviewer frequently collaborates on research projects. Reviewers who have a conflict of interest should recuse themselves from the peer review process for that article. In addition, authors should bear these guidelines in mind when proposing potential reviewers to the journal.

Publishing Articles

We find it’s helpful to have reviewers experience publishing an article in EMR before they engage in the reviewing process. If you are interested, please contact Shari Worthington, Associate Editor, for additional information.
