Acknowledging the Contribution of Referees

All academic journals rely on the commitment and professionalism of those members of the academic

community who regularly act as reviewers. The editors of IJMR, on behalf of Wiley and British Academy

Management, are very pleased to thank all those listed below who reviewed for the journal in 2015. Re-

viewers play a crucial role in ensuring published work meets the highest possible standards in terms of

the usual academic criteria of rigour, relevance and originality. IJMR publishes state-of-the-artliterature

reviews and papers appearing in the journal must do more than simply review existing scholarship. All

IJMR papers should make a contribution to knowledge in a manner which is critical and questioning,

as well as setting out a future research agenda. We expect our reviewers to do their best to ensure papers

meet these criteria and that requires a substantial amount of commitment and diligence. Once again, we

oer our profound thanks to all those scholars who help ensure that IJMR is one of the leading journals

in the area of business and management. We are, of course, always keen to expand our database of re-

viewers and if you would like to contribute to the journal you can register through the IJMR portal at

http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ijmr.

In selecting this year’s award for Reviewer of the Year we are pleased to report that the standard of

reviewing for IJMR is very high and the majority of scholars provide insightful feedback that enables

authors to improve their papers. We want to acknowledge the excellent contributions made by Andrew

Brown (University of Bath) and Charles Greer (Neeley School of Business, TCU) who are commended

for the high quality of their reviews.

After careful consideration, the editors and associate editors were unanimous in agreeing that San-

dra Corlett (Northumbria University) made an outstanding contribution to the journal in 2015 and is

therefore our Reviewer of the Year – many congratulations to Sandra from the IJMR team.

Thank you to all our reviewers for your continued support of IJMR.
