Hi

This is a new journal and while it uses the expression "evidence-based" in its title it's not obvious to me that its approach is specifically "evidence-based" as many of us would understand the term.

Is anyone on this list involved?

Cheers

Dear friends and colleagues,

Evidence-based HRM: A Global Forum for Empirical Scholarship

Allow me to alert you to the exciting development of a new, peer reviewed journal in the empirical Human Resources arena, published by Emerald. To reinforce the key attributes of the journal (international, empirical, and evidence-based), the new outlet will be branded Evidence-based HRM (EBHRM): A Global Forum for Empirical Scholarship.

EBHRM will have a globally orientated editorial scope. This is also reflected in the increasingly international membership of the journal's Editorial Board. Amongst others, members include:

* Edward P. Lazear (Stanford University, USA)
* Dorothea Alewell (Hamburg University, Germany)
* Andrew Clark (Paris School of Economics, France)
* Paul Jansen (VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
* Niels Westergaard-Nielsen (Aarhus University, Denmark)
* Mariano Rojas (FLACSO and UPAEP, Mexico)
* Shuming Zhao (Nanjing University, China)
* Malcolm Warner (University of Cambridge, UK)

Yannis Georgellis (Kingston, UK), Karin Sanders (Twente, The Netherlands & UNSW, Australia) and Gail Pacheco (AUT, New Zealand) serve as Associate Editors.

The journal will promote empirical scholarship in the Human Resources (HR) arena and provide an international forum and important reference for the encouragement and dissemination of applied research. EBHRM is committed to publishing scholarly empirical research articles that have a high impact on the HR field as a whole. It will publish high quality papers using econometric or statistical methods to fill the gap between conceptual arguments and observed data.

EBHRM will interpret the academic arena of Human Resources as a multi-disciplinary endeavour. To this end, the journal now welcomes submissions with an empirical focus from the areas of human resource management, labour economics, welfare studies, personnel economics, applied psychology, leadership, human resource development, and organisational studies.

In support of this endeavour and in readiness for next year's launch, please find enclosed an open call for papers.

I strongly encourage you to submit your empirical scholarship in the HR arena and to share the news about EBHRM with your network of academic peers. The journal's dedicated website, featuring author guidelines, can be accessed by visiting http://www.emeraldinsight.com/ebhrm.htm.

I am excited about the future of EBHRM and hope that you will contribute to this new forum for empirical scholarship.

With best wishes,

Thomas Lange

Hi Rob & others,

This is a repost of a reply I send earlier today, which somehow got lost in cyberspace (probably intercepted by Emerald ;-)

Hi Rob,

This could
be another illustration of Montbiot's assertion that academic publishers are ruthless capitalists who are only
interested in making a fast buck (see his article in the Guardian here),
in this case by jumping on the EBMgt-bandwagon. Or maybe it's just an initiative
of desperate academics trying to promote their research to managers by
reframing it as 'evidence-based'. Which is understandable, because in the past
year, at least 1,350 articles on HR were published, which means an HR manager would
have to read three or four articles each day to keep up. This is, of course, why
David Sackett came up with his famous Rule No. 1 of evidence-based practice: burn
all your textbooks and cancel all your journal subscriptions and find &
critically appraise the evidence yourself.

But maybe I'm
too cynical and we should look at it this way: this new journal is another
example that evidence-based management is catching on and is slowly becoming
mainstream. Hear hear!

Eric
