ABSTRACT
This chapter is about the process of publishing a journal article and the ways of assessing potential impact of that article once it is published. The chapter unfolds as follows. First, I will present my personal view on what I think are the main aims of publishing management research. I will continue with outlining the various forms of meeting these aims and then focus on one of these forms, namely, publishing papers in academic journals. Drawing on my in-depth experiences as associate editor and board member of a variety of such journals but mainly from my knowledge as editor of the British Journal of Management (BJM), I will then discuss four points:
1. What is the process of targeting a journal and how can authors fi nd a home for their research?
