2. Acceptable Article Types

This journal accepts manuscripts in the following format types:

• Review: Provide systematic syntheses and critical evaluations of existing scholarship on strategy implementation across diverse disciplines and methodologies. These articles aim to consolidate knowledge, assess methodological advances, and identify emerging priorities in implementation research and practice. By offering comprehensive perspectives on fundamental theoretical issues, organizational forces, and evolving topics, they seek to stimulate scholarly discussion and inform future research agendas.
• Research Article: Present original scientific findings, innovative methodological approaches, or substantial applied research derived from investigations into strategy implementation processes. Emphasizing originality, methodological rigor, and strong theoretical frameworks, these articles contribute to core domains such as organizational coordination, cross-sector collaboration, and the measurement of strategic impact. Submissions should demonstrate robust design, clear analysis, and meaningful implications for transforming practice or research in local and international contexts.
• Case Study: Document and analyze real-world strategy implementation practices, interventions, or organizational initiatives across various sectors. Through detailed examination, these articles distill practical lessons, evaluate the effectiveness of execution strategies, and provide evidence-based guidance for addressing similar challenges. They emphasize the translation of strategic intent into tangible outcomes and the building of stronger communities through improved implementation practices.
• Editorial: Provide perspectives, insights, and commentary from the editorial team or invited experts on issues of broad relevance to implementation scholarship. Editorials may address emerging themes, methodological debates, practical challenges, or the strategic direction of the journal. Typically concise and authoritative, they aim to contextualize developments, highlight key contributions, and stimulate intellectual reflection and discussion.
• Short Communications: Report concise and timely research findings, preliminary results, or focused methodological notes that are of clear relevance to strategy implementation. These submissions facilitate rapid dissemination of important insights or novel observations that may not yet warrant a full-length article. They are expected to maintain scientific rigor and offer clear implications for research or professional practice.
