INTERNATIONAL FOOD AND AGRIBUSINESS MANAGEMENT REVIEW 

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Editorial Philosophy

The International Food and Agribusiness Management Review (IFAMR) is an Open Access intellectual meeting place for industry executives, managers, scholars and practitioners interested in the effective management of agribusiness firms and organizations operating in the global food system. It is internationally recognized as a catalyst for discussion and inquiry for those interested in the food and agribusiness system. Specifically we seek articles that are relevant to management scholars and/or managers.

The core values of the Review are as follows: excellent academic contributions; fast, thorough, and detailed peer reviews; building human capital through the development of good writing skills in scholars and students; broad international representation among authors, editors, and reviewers; a showcase for IFAMA’s unique industry-scholar relationship, and a facilitator of international debate, networking, and research in agribusiness.

The Review welcomes scholarly articles on business, economics, public policy, and law pertaining to the global food and agribusiness system. Articles may be applied or theoretical, but must address an issue relevant to managers or management, and advance the topic through implication and application. Articles focused on a special issue, case studies, industry interviews, and book reviews are also welcome.

The Review is published quarterly. A Special Symposium Issue is published following the Annual IFAMA conference in June that highlights Best Papers from IFAMA’s Annual World Forum and Symposium. The Review is an open access electronic journal that also uses alternative media formats such as MP3, MP4, and video clips.

Guidelines for Contributors

Note: We receive a large number of submissions. The high volume, while wonderful, is time consuming for our editors and reviewers. Therefore, articles accepted for review must adhere to our Contributor Guidelines. Unfortunately we will desk reject submissions that do not follow these guidelines.

Articles appear in one of the following sections: Research, Reviews, Industry Commentaries and Case Studies. All submissions are double-blind peer reviewed.

Research. Contributions may be theoretical or empirical in nature, but must address an issue of interest to food and agribusiness scholars or managers. Manuscripts should be logically structured and have robust methodology containing references, figures, tables, and graphs.

Reviews. Review articles provide a focused, current discussion of a scholarly topic relevant to the field of food and agribusiness. A review article contains an overview of current research and cases in the field, supplies links between research areas, discusses and provides new ideas and possibilities for further research. It contains an extensive reference list.

Industry Commentaries. Contributions of commentaries need to be less than 1000 words and should report on professional issues of practical relevance to agribusiness. There is no peer-review of industry commentary.

Case Studies. The IFAMR encourages food and agribusiness case submissions. We maintain a database of quality teaching cases which can be used for educational purposes. Cases published by the IFAMR should address a decision-making problem related to a business, technical, ethical or regulatory issue confronting a food and agribusiness organization or manager. A teaching note/package is required before a submitted case is considered for the review process. All case studies are reviewed by scholars experienced in either writing and/or using case studies.

The Review Process

Articles

Each submission undergoing a blind peer review is assigned a Managing Editor by the Executive Editor. The Managing Editor is selected based on either their familiarity with the topic and/or their geographic proximity to the submitting authors. The Managing Editor is responsible for reviewing the manuscript, evaluating the reviews, and working with authors to analyze the information provided by the reviewer team to strengthen the quality of the final product. The Managing Editor will also facilitate manuscripts under revision. Each manuscript is reviewed by a minimum of two anonymous reviewers. The Managing Editor and the Executive Editor determine the final disposition of a manuscript.

Reviewers are asked to be very specific with their critique and list each item they would like the author to address. To this end line numbers are inserted into each manuscript to help the reviewer’s maximize the clarity of their comments. Authors then shall respond to each of the reviewer’s comments and note where changes occur in the text. If no change is made, a rationale for not changing the text needs to be provided to the reviewer. 

Reviewers will also address the following questions in addition to a thorough critique of the manuscript:

A. Does the author state clear objectives?

B. Are the objectives directly related to effective and efficient management of firms competing in the food and agricultural industries?

C. Are the objectives of interest to managers or management scholars?

D. Is the research problem clearly stated?

E. Has an effective literature review been conducted?

F. Is the methodology appropriate, and if so, is it described and applied in an appropriate manner?

G. If data are employed, is the source and their collection methodology properly explained?

H. Are the results and conclusions well presented?

I. Is the paper well-structured and does it flow?

J. Is the paper well written from a technical editing or grammatical perspective?
