About the journal

The Leadership & Organization Development Journal explores behavioural and managerial issues relating to all aspects of leadership, and of individual and organization development, from a global perspective.
Editorial criteria
All papers accepted into the journal's peer review process will be assessed against the following criteria:
- Importance of study and contribution to field
- Value and rationale of study
- Description of background theory, research, concepts
- Links to previous theory and literature
- Methodology - validity, appropriateness for study
- Results - appropriate presentation, valid analysis and interpretation
- Conclusions - limitations of study, implications
- Structure - whether logical and organised suitably

General principles
(a) The journal supports interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approaches to the study of leadership and organization development and encourages original thinking which will contribute to knowledge and understanding in these areas.
(b) Articles based on empirical work are strongly encouraged, as are conceptual papers which are founded on a strong literature base and which provide a basis for theoretical development to advance the field.
(c) There is no methodological preference: papers on the continuum from quantitative data-based studies to qualitative case studies are equally welcome.
(d) The journal's focus is on the interpretation of research and how the results of research may be translated into practice.
Coverage
The journal addresses a broad range of topics which are relevant to organizations and reflective of societal developments.
Topicality
Public and private sector organizations alike face ongoing pressure to streamline activities, improve efficiency and achieve demanding organizational objectives. In this context, the ability of senior managers to understand the culture and dynamics of organizations and to deliver strong leadership during periods of change, could be the difference between organizational failure and success.
Key benefits
The Leadership & Organization Development Journal examines the body of management theory around leadership and organizations in order to discover new, more effective ways of managing in organizations. The Journal explores the practical application of leadership and organization development theory in order to identify its relevance for managerial practice. Reviews of new book publications in the area of leadership and organizations also form part of the Journal's regular content.
Key journal audiences
- Researchers
- Educators involved in teaching or supervising research
- Professionals with strategic decision-making responsibility in organizations

Each paper is reviewed by the editor and, if it is judged suitable for this publication, it is then sent to two independent referees for double blind peer review. Based on their recommendation, as well as consultation between relevant Editorial Board members the editor then decides whether the paper should be accepted as is, revised or rejected.
Copyright
Articles submitted to the journal should not have been published before in their current or substantially similar form, or be under consideration for publication with another journal. Please see Emerald's originality guidelines for details. Use this in conjunction with the points below about references, before submission i.e. always attribute clearly using either indented text or quote marks as well as making use of the preferred Harvard style of formatting. Authors submitting articles for publication warrant that the work is not an infringement of any existing copyright and will indemnify the publisher against any breach of such warranty.
