The articles published by Mi must propose ideas that contribute to improving existing knowledge in the field of international management. Mi publishes various types of contributions:

  • Articles: empirical, theoretical, or methodological articles present a specific management issue or problem at the international level.
  • Research notes: research notes are essentially devoted to the presentation of theoretical perspectives, conceptual frameworks, and research methods and results.
  • Reading notes: reading notes are critical presentations of recent publications.
  • Book reviews: these reviews provide summaries of research work that has been presented in recent books.

Articles and research notes are peer-reviewed in accordance with the principles, the rules, and the practices of double anonymization.

Reading notes and book reviews or essays are evaluated by the editorial team.

Publications – Some useful advice

Please include two versions of the submission in your email: one version with a cover page containing all the author’s scientific information as well as the author’s contact information and possible acknowledgements, and one version with a cover page without any identification information. These two files must be named UNBLINDED and BLINDED respectively.

In the blinded file, there should be no information making it possible to identify authors. The anonymity of the electronic properties of the BLINDED file must also be ensured. In addition, you must indicate in your email the field of interest and the topic of your submission.
