Research papers that address two or more aspects of the triple bottom line are especially encouraged.
Paper proposals will be blind-reviewed by the guest editors; accepted proposals that result in paper submissions will be double-blind reviewed. The guest editors then will select the papers for this special volume on a competitive basis, based on the recommendations of the reviewers. Specific guidelines for submission are provided on the next page. Your email should request that the manuscript be specifically considered for this special research volume on leading in health care organizations.
