Turner College Faculty Lead Roundtable Session at CSU’s 2022 Graduate Research & Writing Bootcamp

Three Turner College faculty – Phil Bryant, Kirk Heriot and Frank Mixon – led a “Meet the Editors Roundtable” session at CSU’s 2022 Graduate Research & Writing Boot Camp on Saturday, October 15.  Bryant, an associate professor of management in the Turner College, is the co-founder of Servant Leadership: Theory & Practice, and the current editor-in-chief of Compensation and Benefits Review, the leading practitioner journal in human resource management.  Heriot, holder of the Turner College’s Crowley Endowed Chair and professor of management, is the founder and editor of the American Journal of Entrepreneurship.  Mixon, holder of the Turner College’s Buck Endowed Chair and professor of economics, will take over as editor of the Journal of Financial Economic Policy in January of 2023.  Bryant opened the presentation by explaining the difference between subscription-supported, traditional journals and newer, open-access publishing formats. 
He also stressed the importance of accepting invitations from journal editors to review submissions to journals.  Heriot added that researchers should take care to ensure that the topic of their research fits the scope of the journal.  He pointed out that he occasionally receives submissions to his own journal that are not related to entrepreneurship.  Mixon explained the growing use by journal editors of desk rejections, which occur when journal editors assess the likelihood of eventual acceptance of a paper submission and quickly forward rejection decisions to researchers in cases where that likelihood is low. He added that if a rejection is inevitable it is best that researchers get that news sooner rather than later.  During the remainder of the one-hour roundtable the three Turner faculty fielded questions from the audience.
