IJMR complements the British Journal of Management, which is also produced by the British Academy of Management.
The journal is known for publishing literature reviews, which are said to play a key role "in shaping the emergence and development of theory within a field of study. Reviews allow the author to take stock of what scholars have done, and then put forward new conceptualizations and directions for future research...". The journal covers all main fields of management studies: from entrepreneurship and organizational behaviour to strategic management and finance. Each issue contains between five and six articles, which examine the relevant academic scholarship published on a specific aspect of a management sub-discipline.
The journal does not accept purely descriptive literature reviews. The stated mission of the journal is for articles "...to make significant conceptual contributions, offering a strategic platform for new directions in research, and making a difference to how scholars might conceptualise research in their respective fields...". In addition to standard journal submissions, the journal publishes articles as part of two special sections: Debate Essays (responses to articles published in the journal) and Methodology (articles addressing innovative methods to undertake literature reviews). Furthermore, at least one special topical issue is guest edited by leading scholars in the field every year.
