  • 1.  Where do publish in CAR?

    Hello, Everyone,

    In this post I'm going to be completely open that I'm an absolute neophyte in the Careers area and take my newbie status as liberty to write frankly and casually about my ignorance in this area and my need to transform my lack of skill in Careers research and writing into something constructive and productive.

    I'm discovering that a lot of my work appears to fall within the Careers domain. However I wasn't formally trained in studying and writing about careers, so I'm not familiar at all with where to send my work for peer review, let alone the current discussions within this academic area. 

    In short, I need some advice, a primer basically, in careers as a scholarship area. I am not attending AOM this year, so PDWs are out.
     
    Specifically, I'm working with a colleague qualitatively exploring academic careers of academic faculty from underrepresented populations. Where can I publish this stuff and what interesting things should I be looking for? In case there are tips buried deep in this discussion area, where will I find them?

    Thanks!

    Joe

    Dear Joe,

     

    Welcome to the Careers community.

     

    We have many people studying and publishing on careers, and it is a very enthusiastic and supportive community. Do come to the AOM in the future.

     

    As for academic careers, I can offer you some papers on the issue – see below.

     

    As for where to aim in terms of journals, there are several career focused journals (e.g.), and some HRM journals and general OB journals open to publish on careers.

    Major journals focusing on careers:

    Journal of Vocational Behavior

    Career Development International

    Career Development Quarterly

    General HRM are: HRM; HRMJ; IJHRM; to start with

    General OB journals to fit: JOB, Human Relations

    Much depends on the quality – contribution of the paper.

     

    Good luck

     

    Yours

    Yehuda
