| Types of articles accepted |
The SA Journal of Human Resource Management publishes the following types of articles (click on the link to learn more about the format and structure requirements):
- Original articles: Original research articles should inform readers of innovative research in a particular field within or related to the focus and scope of the journal presented according to a clear and well-structured format. Research published in this section should add to the existing body of knowledge published in this field (between 4500–7000 words with a maximum of 60 references). Detailed article structures are available here:
- Opinion papers: Opinion papers are written about topical issues that need special reflection and debate. The relevance or urgency of an issue may trigger the need for such a paper. The purpose of such papers therefore is to stimulate debates on such topics and to inform in order to guide the establishment of best practices and the development of a ‘final’ stance on such a topic. The latter may then require, (if necessary), a further position paper on this topic.
