Objectives
The „International Journal
of Action Research“ provides a forum for an open and non dogmatic discussion
about action research, both its present situation and future perspectives. This
debate is open to the variety of action research concepts
worldwide. The focus is on dialogues between theory and practice.
The „International Journal
of Action Research“ is problem driven; it is centered on the notion that
organizational, regional and other forms of social development should be
understood as multidimensional processes and viewed from a broad
socio-ecological, participative and societal perspective.
The „International Journal
of Action Research“ is a refereed journal, appearing three times a year. The
editors invite contributions from academic social sciences, giving special
attention to action research and action research practice, to conceptual and
theoretical articles pertaining to its focus and to discussions on the changing
worlds of work and society.

Guidelines for Contributions to International Journal of Action Research
-
IJAR is a
refereed journal (double blind reviews).
-
Manuscripts are welcomed and should be submitted by email and 2 hard copies to editor-in-chief Dr. Werner Fricke, Institute for Regional Cooperation, Unter den Eichen 31, D – 29568 Wieren,
Germany, e-mail: fricke.irc@t-online.de.
-
Manuscripts must be written in English. Accepted papers are to be language
checked by a native speaker. It is the author’s responsibility to present
papers in an acceptable form, both in terms of grammar and expression, and she
or he should check their manuscript for typing errors, spelling, punctuation,
etc.
-
The
manuscript should conform to the following requirements:
Use 12-point type (times new roman or equivalent) double-spaced (including
footnotes, references, appendixes, tables, and figures).
The title page is page 1. Under the title of your work, list authors' names, a
short biosketch (about 50 words), and complete addresses including e-mail.
Page 2 shows the title of your article and the abstract (not your personal
name or address). Your abstract should be about 100 words long. Use sequential
page numbering throughout.
-
Papers
should be divided in sections (i.e. 1., 2.) and, if necessary, subsections
(either 1.1, 1.2 or a), b) …)
-
Footnotes should be kept to a minimum and placed automatically at the foot of
the page to which they refer. They must not be used for citing references.
- For
in-text citations, please include the authors' names and the year of
publication in parentheses, e.g. (Williamson 1975, 1996; Granovetter 1985a;
Cohen/Levinthal 1990). Two or more publications by one author in the same year
should have "a", "b" etc., added after the year.
Please be as precise as possible. For direct quotation, pages must be given
after the year, e.g. (Coleman 1988, 98). If a publication has three or more
authors use "et al.", e.g. (Nooteboom et al. 1997).
- List
references alphabetically by the last name of the first author. If there is no
personal author use the corporate author, e.g. New York Times. Order
publications by an identical author by year, listing the earliest first.
A bibliography with titles not cited in text might be accepted by the
editor-in chief.
