About the journal
About NEJSR
The New England Journal of Systematic Reviews is a peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal focused on systematic reviews and related evidence synthesis across business and management.
Mission
Strengthening Management Knowledge Through Evidence Synthesis
NEJSR exists to advance the use, quality, and visibility of systematic reviews and related evidence-synthesis research in business and management. The journal provides a scholarly venue for research that organizes, evaluates, and integrates existing evidence so readers can understand what is known, where evidence remains uncertain, and where further research may be valuable.
Purpose
A Journal Designed Around the Evidence Base
Management research is distributed across disciplines, industries, methods, and publication outlets. NEJSR focuses on research that brings those bodies of knowledge together through transparent and systematic evidence-synthesis methods.
The journal seeks work that contributes to scholarly understanding while also helping educators, practitioners, organizational leaders, and decision makers interpret the accumulated evidence relevant to management problems.
