Publications

Our staff have published high-quality papers in prestigious national and international journals. Research students have contributed to the publication effort via conference presentations and through other forms of publication. The School's partnerships with industry and other research teams are also reflected in many of our publications.

The Research Monitor provides further information on selected publications. We invite you to browse our publication data and then to contact us if you would like to obtain further information.


Working Paper Series

Statement of Purpose

The major aim of this online series is to publish research-in-progress being conducted by members of the School of Business for the purpose of encouraging a supportive and productive research culture. This series is designed to assist the authors to refine their ideas, methods and analysis through the widest possible dissemination of the papers. All published papers will be available from the School's research website and thus can be accessed through website browsers. All papers will have a statement encouraging readers of these papers to contact the authors with comments and suggestions for further research.

All submitted papers will be reviewed and edited to ensure an acceptable academic standard is met in the presentation, analysis and referencing of the work. Titles and keywords will be provided on the working paper series listing. An abstract and Harvard style referencing is required with all submissions.

Frequency

Four times a year there will be a call for papers to be submitted. After the editorial process and necessary revisions, the papers will be placed on the research website in an archival format.
