About AMLE
Academy of Management Learning & Education (AMLE) is part of the portfolio of journals published by the Academy of Management along with AMJ, AMP, AMP, Annals, and AMD. AMLE is rated as 4* in the UK AJG list and A* in the Australian Business Deans’ Council list of journals.
AMLE publishes theory-driven studies on management learning, management education, or the business of business schools. For empirical papers, this means that where the research sample is composed of learners, they are higher education students in business school(s) or school(s) of management, or they are managers learning in executive contexts. Where the sample is composed of faculty, then they are situated within a business school(s) or school(s) of management.

Requirements
Short papers (approximately 3,000 words) that fit the aim and scope of AMLE.

Workshop Structure
This workshop has two main parts:
- Part 1 comprises a general introduction to AMLE. The main focus is on writing manuscripts that advance our theoretical understanding of MLE phenomena for the research article and essay sections of the journal. This first part of the workshop is open to all interested participants, including those who do not submit a short paper.
- Part 2 is focused on supporting and advising researchers on how to develop and refine their papers with submission to AMLE in mind. Those wishing to participate in Part 2 should note the requirements.
