Symposium 4: Publishing Nordic Research for Global Impact: Editorial Policies and the Role of AI
Track and Symposia Proposal
Publishing Nordic Research for Global Impact: Editorial Policies and the Role of AI
This “meet-the-editors” symposium brings together Editors-in-Chief from Nordic and international academic journals to discuss the evolving landscape of academic publishing. It offers a rare opportunity for researchers to engage directly with journal editors, ask questions, and gain insights into editorial policies, peer review practices, and publishing strategies.
The session will highlight the distinctive strengths of Nordic management research, including its emphasis on sustainability, public value, inclusive innovation, and context-sensitive approaches to entrepreneurship and governance. These qualities position Nordic scholarship to make meaningful contributions to global academic discourse while retaining regional relevance.
A central theme will be the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in academic publishing. Panelists will explore how AI changes the landscape from manuscript screening and plagiarism detection to ethical considerations and transparency in authorship. The discussion will also address how AI may influence the future of editorial decision-making, and academic integrity.
Designed as an interactive dialogue, the symposium encourages audience participation and aims to foster collaboration between scholars and editors. It will be particularly valuable for early-career researchers and those seeking to publish in high-impact journals and contribute to the internationalization of Nordic scholarship.
