INFORMATION FOR CONTRIBUTORS

Human Resource Development Quarterly (HRDQ) is the fi rst scholarly journal focused

directly on the evolving fi eld of human resource development (HRD) sponsored by

AHRD (the Academy of Human Resource Development). It provides a central focus

for research on human resource development issues as well as the means for dis-

seminating such research. HRDQ recognizes the interdisciplinary nature of the

HRD fi eld and brings together relevant research from the related fi elds, such as

economics, education, management, sociology, and psychology. It provides an

important link in the application of theory and research to HRD practice.

In general, HRDQ publishes empirical scholarly work that addresses the the-

oretical foundations of HRD, HRD research, and evaluation of HRD interventions

and contexts. Articles that specifi cally focus on theory and integrative literature

reviews are typically not considered within the scope of HRDQ. Additionally,

articles concerned solely with the practice of HRD are not within the scope of

this journal but may be more appropriate for practitioner-oriented publications.

Authors may contribute to HRDQ by submitting manuscripts for peer

review, for the nonrefereed Forum section, and for the Media Review section.

Early View Announcement

We are happy to announce that Human Resource Development Quarterly is now

part of Wiley’s Early View service. Articles will now be published on a regular

basis online in advance of their appearance in a print issue. These articles are

fully peer reviewed, edited, and complete – they only lack page numbers and

volume/issue details – and are considered fully published from the date they

fi rst appear online. This date is shown within the published article online.

Because Early View articles are considered fully complete, please bear in mind

that changes cannot be made to an article after the online publication date

even if it is still yet to appear in print.

The articles are available as full text HTML or PDF and can be cited as

references by using their Digital Object Identifi er (DOI) numbers. For more

information on DOIs, please see http://www.doi.org/faq.html

To view all the articles currently available, please visit the journal homep-

age on http://wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/hrdq and simply click on the

“Early View” area at the top of the list of issues available to view. Upon print

publication, the article will be removed from the Early View area and will

appear instead in the relevant online issue, complete with page numbers and

volume/issue details. No other changes will be made.

The implementation of Early View for Human Resource Development

Quarterly represents our commitment to get manuscripts available to view to

the academic community as quickly as possible, reducing time to publication

considerably without sacrifi cing quality or completeness.
