Submission Guide: Selecting the RightTrack
- For "Pure" Management (HR/Strategy): Submit to EBES (Springer). It is the safest route for Scopus indexing without the high rejection rates of top-tier association meetings (like AOM).
- For "Operations/Supply Chain": Submit to IEEE IEEM. The IEEE platform ensures your paper is visible to both technical and managerial audiences, and it secures EI Compendex indexing, which is rare for business papers.
- For "Marketing": ICBMM is a solid specific choice. Ensure you check the 2026 publisher status (ACM vs. IOP) before submitting, as this affects indexing.
