Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, RTF, or WordPerfect document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines, which is found in About the Journal.
  • If submitting to a peer-reviewed section of the journal, the instructions in Ensuring a Blind Review have been followed.

Author Guidelines

Instructions for Authors

EMPIRE publishes scholarly empirical, theoretical, and review articles dealing with management. Manuscripts that are suitable for publication in the journal cover areas such as business strategy and policy, entrepreneurship, human resource management, organizational behavior, organizational theory, and research methods.
The following brief checklist provides a quick reference for you to follow during your submission and manuscript review process.

Papers submitted should not be under concurrent consideration at another journal. Any actual or potential data overlap with previous studies should be noted and described in the letter to the Editor. In order to maintain masked review, provide an anonymized data transparency table describing actual or potential data overlap.  All new manuscripts should be submitted electronically. Electronic submissions should be uploaded to the EMPIRE by accessing http://ejournal.unis.ac.id/index.php/EM/. Files should be submitted in Microsoft Word format. All manuscripts must adhere to the EMPIRE Style Guide. All authors of quantitative manuscripts will attest that their submission meets the respective data reporting requirements. Papers that violate the spirit of the guidelines (e.g., papers that are single-spaced, papers that use footnotes rather than conventional referencing formats, papers that greatly exceed 50 pages), or which do not clearly fit the mission of the journal will be immediately returned to authors without being reviewed. Authors should keep in mind that papers are evaluated on a page-to-contribution ratio. We encourage you to have a colleague peer review any paper prior to submission to the EMPIRE. During the review process, including at the Conditional Accept stage, manuscripts may be subject to additional methodological screening that may require the submission of additional information (e.g. analysis code; analysis output; original data).  Accepted papers must fully adhere to the guidelines. Published papers will use the affiliations of each author at the time of the original submission. No changes can be made at any stage in the review/publication process. Changes in authorship (e.g. addition; subtraction; change in order) during a revision process must be clearly explained in a letter to the Editor.
