International Journal of Rural Management
CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue on Rural Assets, Services, Technologies, Enterprises, and Sustainable Development Goals: Exploring Transforming Pathways
Last Date of Submission: 31 March 2023
This is the first international journal that focuses exclusively on rural management as opposed to rural or community or sustainable development. Its focus is the practical dimensions of organising and managing rural enterprises and community based organisations. Hence, the journal covers the functioning of, among others, producers`cooperatives, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), self-help groups, local self-governance institutions, and organisations dealing with natural resource management.
The journal publishes both conceptual and empirical articles but favours action-oriented and practical research. It encourages the international community of scholars and practitioners to interact with each other in order to develop a rich corpus of practice and knowledge in the field.
A peer-reviewed journal, International Journal of Rural Management publishes research articles, reports of research in progress, analyses of current and topical practice, policy issues relating to rural management, and book reviews.
The overarching purpose of this important international journal is to define the field of rural management and to assist rural organisations/institutions to adopt professional management practices.

The overarching purpose of the journal is to create a community of scholars and promote scholarship in the field of Rural Management. It does so by acting as a vehicle that promotes scholarship and disseminates knowledge. Anything rural is of interest; however, the journal has an avowed bias towards matters of policy, institutions, organizations and practices. The journal publishes conceptual, empirical and review papers in the form of research articles, reports of research in progress, analyses of current and topical practice, policy issues relating to rural management, field notes, and book reviews.
The writing style should be such that it is addressed to an international audience. It would, therefore, be necessary that names of places, at least at the beginning, should be so provided that the reader is able to locate them in a national (country) and sub-national (region/province/state) context.
IJRM is a peer reviewed journal and follows the practice of double-blind reviews.
