GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING ORIGINALS

 

The journal INVESTIGACIONES EUROPEAS DE DIRECCIÓN Y ECONOMIA DE LA EMPRESA (European Research on Management and Business Economics) publishes original research works that deal with any of the specialities relating to the field of Business Management. The Editorial Board has the final responsibility in accepting works, subject to the reviews of two anonymous evaluators with knowledge and interest in the topics submitted to review. The Reviewers Committee is formed by professionals belonging to Spanish, European and Latin-American universities of well-kown prestige in their areas of knowledge. Their adscription to the journal is totally independent from the belonging to the European Academy of Management and Business Economics (AEDEM) and from Editorial Board.

All originals should be sent to the member of the Editorial Board in the author's own country, along with a CD which holds the work in Microsoft Word. If no member has been named in the author's country, it should be sent to the Director of the journal at Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Empresariales, Universidad de Vigo, Lagoas-Marcosende, s/n, E-36310, Vigo, Pontevedra, Spain. It is possible to send the work through AEDEM's website too (www.aedem-virtual.com). Articles should be unpublished and should not be in process or be approved for publication by any other magazine or journal.

The works submitted will be independently reviewed by anonymous evaluators. The reviews will be of blind nature in both senses (peer review double blind). The work will be gone through them in such a way that reviewers and authors won't know eachother identity at the time of reviewing. For further information on editorial policies or the preparation of manuscripts, you should contact the Director or members of Editorial Board.
