 The JGM Author Experience

The editorial team at the Journal of Global Mobility is truly first-rate. They provided my co-authors and me with an extremely thoughtful and detailed review of our submission. We were tremendously impressed by the quality of their analysis and commentary, and the fact that it was delivered in a mere thirty days. It has been humbling to see the collaborative blind review process work so well." Jason Ryan, PhD, Associate Professor of Marketing, California State University.

 Editorial Objectives

The Journal of Global Mobility: The Home of Expatriate Management Research (JGM) provides an outlet for research on expatriate management and other topics of global mobility. JGM caters to a community of scholars and practitioners interested in theoretical and empirical perspectives of physical global mobility as well as antecedents, correlates and consequences of activities and phenomena associated with global mobility.

JGM is especially interested in exploring new domains of global mobility or new insights gained from re-examining established topics. While preferring empirical contributions, achieved with quantitative or qualitative methodology, or a mix of them, rigorous theoretical developments as well as focused but comprehensive literature reviews are also welcome.

JGM aims to provide constructive feedback to authors within one month of submission of a new manuscript. Our 30-day turnaround policy is facilitated by the Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editors, who will encourage high-quality, detailed, and developmental feedback from reviewers to all submitting authors. However, the quality of each manuscript can influence the effectiveness of the review process. As such, manuscripts that are well developed and well written make the review process easier to facilitate and generally results in better feedback to authors.
