Announcement and Call for Papers
The American Risk and Insurance Association (ARIA) is pleased to announce the broad recognition of its journal, the Risk Management and Insurance Review (RMIR):
- The RMIR is indexed in ABI/Inform Global, Business Source: Corporate, Business Source: Premier, OCLC Electronic Collections, and Risk Abstracts
- The RMIR is included in Blackwell Synergy, and Google™ is capable of searching all RMIR full-text articles
- All Journal of Risk and Insurance subscribers receive the RMIR
- During the past year (2003), 4,553 RMIR articles were downloaded (4 times as many as in 2002)
- On average, each RMIR article was downloaded over 120 times (about 25% more than the average Journal of Risk and Insurance article)
- For 2004, the RMIR’s online readership increased by 50%
- The RMIR is distributed extensively internationally through Blackwell’s various consortia arrangements
RMIR accepts submissions on the general topics of risk management, insurance, and health-care management. It has three sections—Feature Articles, Perspectives, and Educational Insights—and the editorial policy varies by section.
Feature Articles: Research published as a Feature Article should be readily understood by readers with a general, graduate-level business background, and should: (1) make an original contribution to the literature, and/or (2) summarize and discuss the existing literature or evolving developments using an original approach. Feature Articles are subject to anonymous peer review.
Educational Insights: The Educational Insights section publishes model lectures in the field of risk, insurance, and health-care management at the undergraduate or graduate level. Publication in this section provides objective verification of pedagogical contributions for merit and performance reviews. Submissions to Educational Insights may be sent out for anonymous peer review.
Perspectives: The Perspectives section publishes articles offering new insights on the research literature, business practice, and public policy. These articles may be primarily scholarly (i.e., of a survey or historical nature) or may consist of opinion and discussion. Submissions to the Perspectives section are subject to editorial (and sometimes anonymous peer) review.
All submissions should be sent electronically to rmir@temple.edu.
