Description of the Northwest
Journal of Business and Economics
The Northwest Journal
of Business and Economics is published annually by the Center for
Economic and Business Research, College of Business and Economics at Western
Washington University.
With the assistance of other regional researchers, Western Washington University has developed this medium for publishing applied business and economic research concerning the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Idaho, Montana, British Columbia, and Alberta). We are interested in receiving well-written and timely papers concerning any of these geographic areas for possible publication. The focus of the publication is original research that has application to academicians, researchers, business persons and public policy makers within the broad areas of business and economics. Because of our unique geographical and international setting, readers of the Northwest Journal of Business and Economics have a strong interest in the northwest states, Western Canada, and Pacific Rim trends and developments. Thus, the publication is primarily interested in regional issues with clear implications for the Pacific Northwest.
This is a multi-disciplinary publication. Contributions are sought from all areas of business (marketing, management, finance, accounting, decision sciences, operations research) and economics. Contributions from other disciplines are welcome as long as the material is business or economics oriented, and has direct implications to the Pacific Northwest. Papers of a technical nature should be thoughtfully written so that the overall issues and conclusions are understandable to the general educated reader. Submitted papers should be no longer than 20 pages double-spaced type (including tables and graphs). Student papers must include sponsorship and letter of recommendation from a faculty person.
Important Note: Because the Northwest Journal of Business and Economics is published annually, we set a closing date for papers submitted for the next year’s edition. Thus, papers received after the submission deadline may not be considered for publication for the following year's edition. In addition, submitted papers will not begin the review process until after the submission deadline.
Papers submitted to the Northwest
Journal of Business and Economics are initially evaluated by the
editors. Suitable papers are then subject to double-blind editorial peer
review. The purpose of both reviews is to assess suitability for publication,
professional quality, and regional emphasis/general business or policy
interest.
