Brief Background
|
Launched in 2004 by the Brazilian Academy of Management (ANPAD), BAR has an international scope in terms of topics of interest, target audience, and editorial boards. It is an A2 journal according to the Brazilian classification Qualis/Capes (second highest rank), which is evidence of the quality of published works and the transparency of the editorial process. BAR follows the editorial principles available in the document Best Practices in Scientific Publication, an initiative by the Brazilian Academy of Management (ANPAD) to assist journals in meeting high scholarly standards and enhancing their theoretical and applied impact. BAR is also a member of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) and a signatory of DORA (San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment), which is additional evidence of BAR's commitment to the most rigorous ethical principles in scholarly publication. As part of the constantly improving editorial process, in 2012, BAR adopted the practice of publishing articles ahead of print, i.e., online publishing of accepted articles before the complete full issue is published. Also, in 2014, BAR started to encode articles in XML, a due action for all journals indexed by SciELO. In 2015, BAR adopted a CC-BY Creative Commons license, also following SciELO standards. That license is used by different publishers and titles to make it easier to access information and disseminate knowledge. In 2016, the ahead-of-print practice evolved to a continuous publication model, a model that was championed by BAR in its field in Brazil. That is, BAR publishes articles in final form and sends them to the indexing services as soon as they complete the full editorial process and independently of the other documents to be published in the same issue. In an era of digital technologies, BAR thus quickly reaches the reader and disseminates knowledge from highly relevant scholarly studies to an audience keen on innovation and advancements in the frontiers of science and practice. BAR’s mission is to advance scholarly knowledge on management and organizational theories and their implications for business and public administration by means of the global dissemination of conceptual and empirical studies developed in Brazil and other countries. BAR is present in many of the most prestigious indexing platforms, such as Scopus, SciELO, Spell, Cabell’s, ProQuest, DOAJ, EBSCO, Gale/Cengage Learning, IBSS, Latindex, Ullrichs, and Redalyc. Please refer to the full list here. Topic coverage for BAR is as follows:
|
Open Science Compliance
|
In line with Open Science practices, in 2020 BAR started to encourage reviewers to join the Open Peer Review, according to which the journal publishes, on the title page of each article, information about the editors and reviewers who contributed to the peer-review process of that article. BAR also encourages and invites reviewers and authors to allow disclosure of the peer-review reports containing the reviewers’ comments and authors’ responses, which are shared alongside the published article. BAR also accepts the submission of articles that have been deposited as a preprint, as long as they are stored on reliable platforms, such as SciELO Preprints, SSRN, and OSF. Upon submission, authors must fill and send the Open Science Compliance Form alongside the cover letter, stating their positioning regarding preprints, research data, and other materials, as well as their stance on open peer review. Regarding Open Data, as of October 2020, BAR requires that submitted manuscripts cite and reference all data, program codes, and other materials that were used in and resulted from the studies. For new submissions as of November 2022, the editors require that authors share their original database, if unpublished, by depositing the database and additional files in open repositories such as Mendeley Data or Zenodo. In particular cases in which authors cannot provide data and/or materials used in their surveys, an explanatory note of that decision will be presented in the final parts of the published document. |
Ethics in Publication
|
BAR abides by the editorial principles of Best Practices in Scientific Publication and Code of Ethics, both initiatives of ANPAD to help Brazilian journals achieve high visibility and impact as research resources in the fields of Administration and Accounting. Before submission, authors should read those documents and agree to follow ANPAD’s principles of ethical research and publication. BAR is also a member of, and subscribes to the principles of, the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA). |
Focus and Scope
|
BAR publishes documents within the interests of business and public administration, management science, and organization studies. Diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives are welcome as long as they contribute to advancing the frontiers of a specific theoretical tradition and are also insightful to practice. Prospective authors should note that studies with blurred boundaries between what is inherent to organization studies and what may be framed within the interests of, for instance, anthropology and sociology will be rejected. Symptomatically, a large body of research has been misguiding organization scholars. The same policy applies to studies that are not fully characterized within another scholarly field but whose main interests concern isolated issues, such as culture, gender, race, performance, impact, and the like. BAR’s editorial scope for research articles does not include teaching cases, theoretical essays, opinion papers, purely applied practitioner-oriented technical material, and replication studies. As for the latter, replication is here conceived in broad terms, including the testing of theories (confirmation/refutation of previous findings), contextualization studies (application of scales to a different context), and perspective studies (collection of data from a different demographic group). Systematic literature reviews will be considered only if they address issues of contemporary interest both for theory development and application in organizations. |
Digital Preservation
|
The journal focuses on making content discoverable and accessible through indexing services. To ensure the permanency of all publications, this journal also uses LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) archiving systems to create permanent archives for the purposes of preservation and restoration. BAR is indexed in SciELO, which indexes the journal's complete collection. The SciELO Program, through its digital preservation systems that directly involve the collections of the SciELO Network, projects itself as a partner institution that is a member of the CARINIANA Network of IBICT for preservation, a member of the LOCKSS Network. |

Editorial Policy
Preprints
|
BAR accepts the submission of articles that have been deposited as a preprint, as long as they are stored on reliable platforms, such as SciELO Preprints, SSRN, and OSF. Upon submission, authors must fill and send the Open Science Compliance Form alongside the cover letter, stating their positioning regarding preprints, research data, and other materials, as well as their stance on open peer review. |
Peer Review Process
|
All submissions are subject to a preliminary screening by the editorial office regarding formatting. Submissions for the manuscript type "Interview" will go through an initial evaluation by the Editor-in-chief. Depending upon the theme, the Editor-in-chief will indicate an Associate Editor to perform the interview analysis and recommend whether or not to publish the interview. The journal reserves the right to propose modifications that contribute to greater text clarity. The review process of manuscript types "Research articles" and "Thinking Outside the Box" consists of two stages: in the first stage (desk review), the editor-in-chief and an associate editor (chosen by the editor-in-chief based on the article’s main topic and methods) verify the relevance of the submitted article, its alignment with the journal’s editorial scope, and other aspects including originality and contribution to the area of submission. Only articles the editors consider relevant to the academic community and, in particular, to the journal’s audience, proceed to further stages. Articles that pass the first stage of analysis (desk review) are sent to the second stage: double anonymized peer review. In the double anonymized peer review process, the Associate Editor invites at least two external reviewers with experience related to the theme of the article. Reviewers will provide reports on the article, typically within 12 weeks. If reviewers do not provide consistent responses, the Associate Editor will either send the article to a third reviewer or make a decision recommendation based on the reviewers' reports. The Editor-in-chief will notify the authors of their decision to accept or reject the article. Acceptance of articles generally depends on further rounds of revisions, that is, making changes in accordance with the reviewer's and editor’s comments. The authors will respond to the reviewers, with corrections, through a response letter, also with double anonymity. After acceptance, the article will be submitted for grammar review, APA Style formatting, typesetting, and then published in the current volume and issue. |
Open Data
|
Regarding Open Data, as of October 2020, BAR requires that submitted manuscripts cite and reference all data, program codes, and other materials that were used in and resulted from the studies. For new submissions as of November 2022, the editors require that authors share their original database, if unpublished, by depositing the database and additional files in open repositories such as Mendeley Data or Zenodo. In particular cases in which authors cannot provide data and/or materials used in their surveys, an explanatory note of that decision will be presented in the final parts of the published document. Therefore, authors must comply to share the research data (whenever possible) following the specificities of Table 1.
|
Fees
|
BAR adopts the policy of not imposing charges for fees at any stage of the editorial process, from submission to publication, with the cost of the editorial process being the responsibility of the journal, as well as maintenance of distribution and unrestricted access to documents published by BAR. That is, it does not charge authors, readers, or institutions in any way. |
Ethics and Misconduct, Correction and Retraction Policy
|
BAR uses iThenticate as the plagiarism detection tool. Plagiarism is defined as the unacknowledged use of the work of others as if this were your own original work. Examples of plagiarism: Copying and pasting from the Internet and posting somewhere else without proper citation. Put your name on another person’s essay or project. Copying exact wording from another person’s text. Using another person’s photo, diagram, tables, sounds, or ideas without proper citation. Presenting research in your own words without providing references Purchasing another person’s text and using it as your own. Present ideas in the same format and order as your research source. By submitting a paper for publication to this journal, the author(s) certify that: I/We are fully aware that plagiarism is wrong. I/We know that plagiarism is the use of another person’s idea or published work and pretending that it is one’s own. I/We declare that each contribution to your project from the work(s) of other peoples' published works or unpublished sources has been acknowledged and sources of information have been referenced. I/We certify that I/we are solely responsible for any incomplete reference that may remain in my/our work. Anti-plagiarism declaration: I have read and understood the BAR policy on plagiarism. I hereby declare that this piece of a manuscript is the result of my own independent scholarly work and that in all cases material from the work of others (in books, articles, essays, dissertations, and on the internet) is acknowledged, and quotations and paraphrases are clearly indicated. No material other than that listed has been used. This written work has not previously or not yet been published. Tips for Avoiding Plagiarism: Learn the citation expectations for each course. When you take notes for a paper, be sure to cite sources so you don’t get mixed up later. When you research online, be sure to find the original source of information, since it is possible that websites plagiarize. If you are really worried, ask your prof if you can submit a rough draft so she /he can check your citations. When in doubt, authors must cite. It is better to have too many citations than few To help address and prevent plagiarism, BAR incorporates into its editorial workflows iThenticate. The main features of iThenticate are: a) prevents plagiarism by detecting textual similarities which could indicate misconduct; and b) compares full-text manuscripts against a database with millions of articles, thousands of journals, books from hundreds of publishers, and billion web pages. The main function of iThenticate is to identify the textual overlap of a manuscript against a database of published works and internet sources. Policies for Data Falsification and Fabrication The U.S. Office of Research Integrity defines research falsification as “manipulating research materials, equipment, or processes, or changing or omitting data or results such that the research is not accurately represented in the research record.” Data fabrication, on the other hand, refers to "making up" entire sets of data or results and recording or reporting them as genuine findings. It is worth noting that inaccuracies in data and reported findings are more commonly the result of honest mistakes on the part of the authors – mistakes do happen! With this in mind, it is important to investigate any allegations made against authors to ascertain whether or not this is the result of research misconduct, or whether this is simply a genuine oversight. For these reasons, BAR - Brazilian Administration Review assumes that research misconduct means fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism in proposing, performing, or reviewing research, or in reporting research results. Fabrication is making up data or results and recording or reporting them. Falsification is manipulating research materials, equipment, or processes, or changing or omitting data or results such that the research is not accurately represented in the research record. Plagiarism is the appropriation of another person's ideas, processes, results, or words without giving appropriate credit. Research misconduct does not include honest errors or differences of opinion. In case of BAR receives any claim of data fabrication or falsification of work under evaluation, the peer review process is put on hold whilst the issue is investigated. If the allegation appears to be founded, the author should be contacted and the original raw data may be requested. If further investigation is required, the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) recommends that any investigations should be undertaken by the author’s institution. Honest errors are a part of science and publishing and require publication of a correction when they are detected. BAR expects authors to inform the BAR’s EIC of any errors of fact they have noticed (or have been informed of) in their article once published. Corrections are made at the BAR’s discretion. A correction notice will be published in the next available online issue. The online version of the article will link to the correction notice, and vice versa. Besides, correction notices will be indexed and linked to the original records in SciELO. Retractions are considered by BAR’s editors in cases of evidence of unreliable data or findings, plagiarism, duplicate publication, and unethical research. We may consider an expression of concern notice if an article is under investigation. All retraction notices explain why the article was retracted. When the paper is included in an issue we replace the version of the article that will be posted containing just the metadata, with a retraction note replacing the original text. The *.pdf document will be replaced with a version watermarked with “Retracted Version”. Yet, the original text will remain accessible. In rare cases, we may have to remove the original content for legal reasons. In such cases, we will leave the metadata (title and authors) and replace the text with a note saying the article has been removed for legal reasons. A retraction notice will also be published online. Retraction notices will always be indexed and linked to the original records in SciELO. In case of identification of the malpractices above mentioned, all recommendations of the COPE guidelines will be followed. |
Policy on Conflict of Interest
|
Submissions for BAR are assigned to editors in an effort to minimize potential conflicts of interest. The following relationships between editors and authors are considered conflicts and are avoided: > Current colleagues, OR > Recent colleagues, OR > Recent co-authors, OR > Doctoral students for which the editor served as committee chair. After papers are assigned, associate editors are required to inform the editor-in-chief of any conflicts not included in the list above. In the event that none of the editors satisfy all of the conflict screens, associate editors who are least conflicted will be assigned to the manuscript. BAR's submissions are also assigned to reviewers to minimize conflicts of interest. After papers are assigned, reviewers are asked to inform the editor of any conflicts that may exist. ANPAD's Handbook of Best Practices in Scientific Publication imposes additional conditions, to which BAR assigns consent: Papers authored by the Editor and Associate Editors should not be published, even if this authorship is shared with other authors, and not even by leaders of the maintainers of the journal, except in special cases. When this is the case, this specificity should be cited and justified in the Editorial on the issue, and it is also necessary to explicitly indicate a special editor for that specific article, evidently maintaining the anonymity of the authors and evaluators. |
Adoption of similarity software
|
BAR uses iThenticate as the plagiarism detection tool. Similarity checking is verified as soon as the article is submitted. Plagiarism is defined as the unacknowledged use of the work of others as if this were your own original work. |
Gender and Sex Issues
|
Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Statement In February 2023, BAR – Brazilian Administration Review has defined a set of policies to promote equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility in the evaluation and communication of research. This important work is ongoing and iterative. BAR is constantly working on broadening authorship and editorial board representation. The journal aims to: a) Achieve gender equity for authors and reviewers, as well as for members of the Editorial Board, especially among the Associate Editors. To do so, the journal aims on improving the representation rate by 15% a year, until it reaches equality on all fronts. b) Achieve a more diverse set of authors regarding the institutions, regions, and countries they represent. Also, BAR welcomes research that is sensitive to diversity and it values the editing, writing, and participation of diverse scientists. Authors are encouraged (but not obliged) to submit researches that extend beyond samples from White/Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic populations. BAR welcomes submissions with small but diverse samples in service of broadening who is represented in the content published by the journal. In addition to describing sample demographics, authors are also encouraged (but not obliged) to justify their samples and provide an overview of their sample inclusion efforts. They may provide detailed participant demographic descriptions in their method sections and in the manuscript abstract, regarding gender balance in the recruitment of participants, ethnic or other types of diversity in participant recruitment, and whether the study questionnaires were prepared in an inclusive way. Authors are also encouraged to use inclusive language when writing the manuscript. Inclusive language acknowledges diversity, conveys respect to all people, is sensitive to differences, and promotes equal opportunities. Please refer to APA's Inclusive Language Guidelines. Authors can refer to the Sex and Gender Equity in Research (SAGER) guidelines and the SAGER guidelines checklist. These offer systematic approaches to the use and editorial review of sex and gender information in study design, data analysis, outcome reporting, and research interpretation - however, please note there is no single, universally agreed-upon set of guidelines for defining sex and gender. Editors and reviewers must be aware of the above-mentioned recommendations. Editors must immediately alert the editor-in-chief should they identify bias and/or racism in the peer review process. Should racism be identified in the peer review process, by a reviewer or Editor submitting a biased or discriminatory review, the Editor-in-chief of the journal can delete the review, uninvite the reviewer from serving with the journal, and communicate clear reasons as to why the review was rejected. In this topic, BAR will follow recommendations from the APA’s Racism, Bias, and Discrimination resources. Following APA’s recommendation, BAR adopts the CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) for authors’ contributorship and require author contribution statements for all published articles. Author contribution statements promote equity and inclusion by specifically attributing contributions to each author. Author contribution statements likewise allow for the inclusion of collaborators whose contributions are less obviously represented in the written article, such as colleagues who may have provided input in the early stages of an article or who handled more logistical aspects of the research. BAR encourages data sharing and adopts open science badges: a) Data sharing is an important mechanism for promoting scientific progress and encouraging a culture of openness and accountability in research. Data sharing also expands the pool of individuals who can conduct research. For researchers who are geographically dispersed or have limited resources, open and freely accessible data help foster scientific discovery. b) As of 2023, to encourage and recognize authors who elect to share their data and materials, the appropriate COS open science badge is placed on the cover page of the published article’s PDF. Badges are a useful way to signal the journal’s openness to data and materials sharing and to recognize authors who have made their materials or data publicly accessible. BAR’s commitment to accessibility includes making the journal’s published contents freely accessible to and inclusive of all our users, including those with visual, hearing, cognitive, or motor impairments. We recommend that readers access the journal page on SciELO since they index all of our content and make it available in both PDF and HTML format. To open PDF files, you will need a PDF viewer such as Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader is highly configurable for visually impaired and motion-impaired users. For guidance, please see this document: Reading PDFs with reflow and accessibility features. Even though the embedded images do not have alternative text, the image caption is provided adjacent to the image and can be read by a screen reader. Regarding Text-to-speech compatibility, some users may benefit from listening to text. The platform does not currently include an embedded text-to-speech tool. However, text-to-speech compatibility is: (a) Built into the Edge browser; (b) Available as plug-ins for Chrome and Firefox browsers; and (c) Built into most modern digital devices such as PCs, Macs, tablets, and smartphones. BAR's standards incorporate anti-racism, equity, diversity, and inclusion. Authors, reviewers, and editors are encouraged to review APA’s Racism, Bias, and Discrimination resources, including APA’s action plan for addressing inequality, as well as the APA's Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Framework, and COPE's Diversity and Inclusivity resources before submitting their research and before reviewing for BAR. |

Manuscript Preparation
|
Forms and preparation of manuscripts BAR uses ScholarOne Manuscripts for document submission, double-blind peer review, editorial decisions, and editorial team management. Documents should be thus submitted electronically, after the user creates his or her account in the platform. To create your account, please follow the on-screen instructions, filling in the requested information. Your username will be your preferred email address. During account creation, you may be given the option to associate an ORCID iD with the account by either registering for a new ORCID iD or retrieving a current ORCID iD. We encourage all authors to register for ORCID, a non-profit, transparent, community-based effort to give all research activity a unique identifier. ORCID iD is mandatory for accepted articles. Our Submission Manual have been carefully prepared to facilitate the editorial process of submitting articles online. Therefore, please observe the formatting instructions carefully. The formatting of citations and references must match the norms of the American Psychological Association (APA). A submission that does not comply with the journal’s requirements will be returned to the authors. For the initial submission, the authors are free to decide on the layout of the papers. BAR understands that the focus of analysis should be a paper’s contents, not the presentation. However, as per the usual preference of reviewers, we suggest that the authors consider the following format: |
Article Submission Format
|
Font type Times New Roman, Calibri, Arial, Verdana, or Tahoma (including titles, abstract, and reference list) Font size 10 or 11 points Title The title of articles should be as concise as possible and address the main theoretical tradition, model or constructs of the study as well as how the study distinguishes from other studies in the field. Do not use abbreviations. It should be placed at the beginning of the work, uppercase only in main words, without identifying the authors Abstract The abstract must contain up to 1,350 characters, including spaces. (The abstract must contain the structure: objective, methods, results and conclusions) Keywords Keywords (150 characters with spaces): Indicate from three to five keywords. Article length Research articles submitted to BAR are expected to have around 10,000 words. Thinking Outside the Box submissions are expected to have around 4,000 words. Interviews are expected to have around 3,000 words. Authorship There should be no more than five authors per article. Also, as of January 1st, 2007, BAR’s publisher ANPAD has set a limit of two to the number of articles submitted to BAR per author per year, regardless of the author’s position in authorship. As such, if any author who has not submitted an article to BAR in any given year submits an article co-authored by someone who has already submitted two articles to the same journal that year, the submitted article will be automatically withdrawn. Also, the following individuals cannot submit papers to BAR: (a) members of ANPAD's Presidential Board; (b) BAR's Editor-in-Chief; (c) BAR's Senior Editors; (d) BAR’s Associate Editors (permanent), and (e) members of the journal’s Editorial Policy Committee. Authors’ ORCID We encourage all authors to register for ORCID, a non-profit, transparent, community-based effort to give all research activity a unique identifier. ORCID is mandatory for all authors in all submissions. Acknowledgments and Funding Please inform the acknowledgments in the Cover Letter only. Regarding funding, please inform in the dedicated field in the system during submission. DOI Registration The DOI number is attributed to the manuscript by the journal and registered by SciELO around 30 days after the publication. Language Submissions can be made in English or Portuguese. However, if the manuscript in Portuguese is accepted for publication, the authors must send the full version of the manuscript in the English language (with proper vernacular quality and content) to BAR. The manuscripts will be published only in English, given the journal's international audience. Writing Texts with one author may be written in first person singular or third person impersonal. Texts with more than one author may be written in first person plural or third person impersonal. |
Digital Assets
|
Tables should be inserted in the body of the text, soon after their reference or citation. For the sake of word count (paper size), please consider a half-page table as representing 300 words. Text-editing software Word for Windows 2010 or later If the authors developed their tables using any other programs, such as Excel, please redo the tables using Word Font type and size Times New Roman, Calibri, Arial, Verdana, or Tahoma, 10 point Line spacing Single Spacing before and after 3 pt Colors Optional, but preferably use grayscale Title Table titles should be brief, clear, and explanatory. They should be placed above the table, in the upper left corner, and just below the word Table (with the first letter upper case), accompanied by a designated number. The tables should be presented with sequential Arabic numbers within the text, such as Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, etc. Citation To cite tables in the text body, simply write the number referring to the table, for example Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, etc. Never write ‘table below’, ‘table above’, or ‘table on page XX’, because the numeration of the article pages might be altered during formatting for publication. Table notes Tables can have three kinds of notes: general notes, specific notes, and probability notes. The notes are presented in the left margin (without indentation) below the table (between the table and the note there should be two spaces). They should be ordered in the following sequence: general notes, specific notes, and probability notes. Each type of note should be presented in a new line. Notes are used to eliminate repetition within the body of the table (APA, 2020). General note: A general note qualifies, explains, or provides information relating to the table as a whole and ends with an explanation of any abbreviations, symbols, and the like (APA, 2020). It is designated by the word Note and should be used to supply other sources of data that have been reproduced in the Table, or if the entire Table was a reproduction from another source. Specific note: Refers to one column, line, or item in particular, and should be indicated by lower case, superscript letters (a, b, c). Probability note: indicates the results of significance tests and is indicated by an asterisk (*) or other superscript symbols. Tables reproduced from another source These should be presented in a general note below the table, giving the complete source, even if it is an adaptation. It is the author’s responsibility to obtain written permission from the owners of the publishing rights to reproduce extracts from other copyright works and send these permissions to our editorial office.

At times the boundary between tables and figures may be unclear; however, tables are almost always characterized by a row-column structure. Any type of illustration that a table is referred to as a figure (APA, 2020). We advise authors to check their manuscripts for possible breaches of copyright law and secure the necessary permissions before submission. Permission Grants (PGs) are needed at the time of submission if the manuscript contains extracts (including illustrations, artwork, and photographs) from other copyright works (this includes material from online or intranet sources). It is the author’s responsibility to obtain written permission from the owners of the publishing rights to reproduce such extracts and send these permissions to our editorial office, by mail. Figures should be inserted in the body of the text, soon after their reference or citation. For the sake of word count (paper size), please consider a half-page figure as representing 300 words. Font type and size Times New Roman, Calibri, Arial, Verdana, or Tahoma, 10 point Line spacing Single Color in figures Optional, but preferably use gray scale and high resolution Formatting It is the author's responsibility to ensure that figures are provided at a sufficiently high resolution (+ 500 dpi) to ensure high-quality reproduction in the final article. All image files should be in TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) or EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) formats. Title Times New Roman, Calibri, Arial, Verdana, or Tahoma, 10 point Explain the figure in a concise but descriptive way. The title should be placed below the figure, according to the APA (2020), as a legend, and numbered with sequential Arabic numbers within the text, preceded by the word ‘Figure’ (with the first letter in upper case). Ex.: Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, etc. After the title, any other necessary information needed to clarify the figure should be added to the legend, such as units of measurement, symbols, scales, abbreviations, and sources. Legend Legends are used to explain the symbols used in the figure and should be placed within the limits of the figure. Size and proportions Figures should be adjusted to the journal’s dimensions. Therefore, any figure should be created or inserted into the article in a manner that allows it to be reproduced to the width of the columns or pages for the journal where it will be submitted. Citations To cite figures in the body of the text, merely write the number referring to the figure, for example, Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, etc. (the word ‘Figure’ should be written with the first letter in upper case). Never write ‘figure below’, ‘figure above’, or ‘figure on page XX’, because the page numbers in the article might be changed during formatting. Figures reproduced from another source Figures reproduced from another source should include, below the table, the complete source, even if it is an adaptation. Remember to secure the necessary permissions to reproduce figures before submission. Examples Note. Rowley, T. (1997). Moving beyond dyadic ties: A network theory of stakeholder influences.
