BEFORE YOU START
For queries relating to the status of your paper pre decision, please contact
the Editor, Jackie Bruce or Journal Editorial Office. For queries post
acceptance, please contact the Supplier Project Manager. These details can be
found in the Editorial Team section.
AUTHOR RESPONSIBILITIES
Our goal is to provide you with a professional and courteous experience at each
stage of the review and publication process. There are also some
responsibilities that sit with you as the author. Our expectation is that you
will:
* Respond swiftly to any queries during the publication process.
* Be accountable for all aspects of your work. This includes investigating and
resolving any questions about accuracy or research integrity.
* Treat communications between you and the journal editor as confidential until
an editorial decision has been made.
* Read about our research ethics for authorship. These state that you must:
* Include anyone who has made a substantial and meaningful contribution to
the submission (anyone else involved in the paper should be listed in the
acknowledgements).
* Exclude anyone who hasn’t contributed to the paper, or who has chosen not
to be associated with the research.
* In accordance with COPE’s position statement on AI tools, Large Language
Models cannot be credited with authorship as they are incapable of
conceptualising a research design without human direction and cannot be
accountable for the integrity, originality, and validity of the published
work. The author(s) must describe the content created or modified as well
as appropriately cite the name and version of the AI tool used; any
additional works drawn on by the AI tool should also be appropriately cited
and referenced. Standard tools that are used to improve spelling and
grammar are not included within the parameters of this guidance. The Editor
and Publisher reserve the right to determine whether the use of an AI tool
is permissible.
* If your article involves human participants, you must ensure you have
considered whether or not you require ethical approval for your research, and
include this information as part of your submission. Find out more
about informed consent.
GENERATIVE AI USAGE KEY PRINCIPLES
* Copywriting any part of an article using a generative AI tool/LLM would not
be permissible, including the generation of the abstract or the literature
review, for as per Emerald’s authorship criteria, the author(s) must be
responsible for the work and accountable for its accuracy, integrity, and
validity.
* The generation or reporting of results using a generative AI tool/LLM is not
permissible, for as per Emerald’s authorship criteria, the author(s) must be
responsible for the creation and interpretation of their work and accountable
for its accuracy, integrity, and validity.
* The in-text reporting of statistics using a generative AI tool/LLM is not
permissible due to concerns over the authenticity, integrity, and validity of
the data produced, although the use of such a tool to aid in the analysis of
the work would be permissible.
* Copy-editing an article using a generative AI tool/LLM in order to improve
its language and readability would be permissible as this mirrors standard
tools already employed to improve spelling and grammar, and uses existing
author-created material, rather than generating wholly new content, while the
author(s) remains responsible for the original work.
* The submission and publication of images created by AI tools or large-scale
generative models is not permitted.
RESEARCH AND PUBLISHING ETHICS
Our editors and employees work hard to ensure the content we publish is
ethically sound. To help us achieve that goal, we closely follow the advice laid
out in the guidelines and flowcharts on the COPE (Committee on Publication
Ethics) website.
We have also developed our research and publishing ethics guidelines. If you
haven’t already read these, we urge you to do so – they will help you avoid the
most common publishing ethics issues.
A few key points:
* Any manuscript you submit to this journal should be original. That means it
should not have been published before in its current, or similar, form.
Exceptions to this rule are outlined in our pre-print and conference paper
policies. If any substantial element of your paper has been previously
published, you need to declare this to the journal editor upon submission.
Please note, the journal editor may use Crossref Similarity Check to check on
the originality of submissions received. This service compares submissions
against a database of 49 million works from 800 scholarly publishers.
* Your work should not have been submitted elsewhere and should not be under
consideration by any other publication.
* If you have a conflict of interest, you must declare it upon submission; this
allows the editor to decide how they would like to proceed. Read about
conflict of interest in our research and publishing ethics guidelines.
* By submitting your work to Emerald, you are guaranteeing that the work is not
in infringement of any existing copyright.
THIRD PARTY COPYRIGHT PERMISSIONS
Prior to article submission, you need to ensure you’ve applied for, and
received, written permission to use any material in your manuscript that has
been created by a third party. Please note, we are unable to publish any article
that still has permissions pending. The rights we require are:
* Non-exclusive rights to reproduce the material in the article or book
chapter.
* Print and electronic rights.
* Worldwide English-language rights.
* To use the material for the life of the work. That means there should be no
time restrictions on its re-use e.g. a one-year licence.
We are a member of the International Association of Scientific, Technical, and
Medical Publishers (STM) and participate in the STM permissions guidelines, a
reciprocal free exchange of material with other STM publishers. In some cases,
this may mean that you don’t need permission to re-use content. If so, please
highlight this at the submission stage.
Please take a few moments to read our guide to publishing permissions to ensure
you have met all the requirements, so that we can process your submission
without delay.
OPEN ACCESS INFORMATION
This is a sponsored open access journal, also referred to as platinum open
access. Because it is published in partnership with an organisation, your
article will be published open access, but you will not have to pay an APC
(article processing charge) - publication is free. Your article will be
published with a Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 user licence, which outlines how
readers can reuse your work.
You can find out more about our open access routes and read our FAQs on our open
research page.

TRANSPARENCY AND OPENNESS PROMOTION (TOP) GUIDELINES
We are a signatory of the Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Guidelines,
a framework that supports the reproducibility of research through the adoption
of transparent research practices. That means we encourage you to:
* Cite and fully reference all data, program code, and other methods in your
article.
* Include persistent identifiers, such as a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), in
references for datasets and program codes. Persistent identifiers ensure
future access to unique published digital objects, such as a piece of text or
datasets. Persistent identifiers are assigned to datasets by digital
archives, such as institutional repositories and partners in the Data
Preservation Alliance for the Social Sciences (Data-PASS).
* Follow appropriate international and national procedures with respect to data
protection, rights to privacy and other ethical considerations, whenever you
cite data. For further guidance please refer to our research and publishing
ethics guidelines. For an example on how to cite datasets, please refer to
the references section below.

SUBMIT YOUR MANUSCRIPT
There are a number of key steps you should follow to ensure a smooth and
trouble-free submission.
DOUBLE CHECK YOUR MANUSCRIPT
Before submitting your work, it is your responsibility to check that the
manuscript is complete, grammatically correct, and without spelling or
typographical errors. A few other important points:
* Give the journal aims and scope a final read. Is your manuscript definitely a
good fit? If it isn’t, the editor may decline it without peer review.
* Does your manuscript comply with our research and publishing ethics
guidelines?
* Have you cleared any necessary publishing permissions?
* Have you followed all the formatting requirements laid out in these author
guidelines?
* Does the manuscript contain any information that might help the reviewer
identify you? This could compromise the anonymous peer review process. A few
tips:
* If you need to refer to your own work, use wording such as ‘previous
research has demonstrated’ not ‘our previous research has demonstrated’.
* If you need to refer to your own, currently unpublished work, don’t include
this work in the reference list.
* Any acknowledgments or author biographies should be uploaded as separate
files.
* Carry out a final check to ensure that no author names appear anywhere in
the manuscript. This includes in figures or captions.
You will find a helpful submission checklist on the website Think.Check.Submit.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT NEXT
You will receive an automated email from the journal editor, confirming your
successful submission. It will provide you with a manuscript number, which will
be used in all future correspondence about your submission. If you have any
reason to suspect the confirmation email you receive might be fraudulent, please
contact the journal editor, Jackie Bruce, in the first instance.
POST SUBMISSION
REVIEW AND DECISION PROCESS
Each submission is checked by the editor. At this stage, they may choose to
decline or unsubmit your manuscript if it doesn’t fit the journal aims and
scope, or they feel the language/manuscript quality is too low.
While all journals work to different timescales, the goal is that the editor
will inform you of their first decision within 60 days.
During this period, we will send you automated updates on the progress of your
manuscript via our submission system, or you can log in to check on the current
status of your paper. Each time we contact you, we will quote the manuscript
number you were given at the point of submission. If you receive an email that
does not match these criteria, it could be fraudulent and we recommend you
contact the journal editor, Jackie Bruce, in the first instance.
IF YOUR SUBMISSION IS ACCEPTED
Following acceptance of your manuscript, you may be contacted by a member of the
Journal Editorial Office (JEO) team as part of their standard post-acceptance
checks. The JEO may contact you regarding outstanding permissions, credit lines
or authorship queries. Please do respond to them in a timely manner in order to
facilitate the publication of your manuscript.
LICENSE FORM
Once all checks have been finalised, your corresponding author will receive an
email asking them to sign your manuscript's publishing license on the Emerald
Submit platform (https://submit.emerald.com/). When your corresponding author
receives this email, they should follow the link in the email to Emerald Submit
and create an account using the email linked to their ScholarOne account - this
should be the one they have been receiving notifications to.
On Emerald Submit, your corresponding author will be asked to sign your
publishing license and choose how you wish to proceed with your manuscript. The
journal is published under a Platinum Open Access arrangement, in that all costs
associated with publishing an Open Access article in the journal are funded by
the Association of Leadership Educators. There are no Article Processing Charges
for this title and no payment is expected from you.
For any queries relating to the license stage, please contact your Journal
Editorial Office. You will find their contact details on the editorial team
section above.
PROOFING AND TYPESETTING
Once we have received your completed licence form, the article will pass
directly into the production process. We will carry out editorial checks,
copyediting, and typesetting and then return proofs to you (if you are the
corresponding author) for your review. This is your opportunity to correct any
typographical errors, grammatical errors or incorrect author details. We can’t
accept requests to rewrite texts at this stage.
When the page proofs are finalised, the fully typeset and proofed version of
record is published online. This is referred to as the EarlyCite version. While
an EarlyCite article has yet to be assigned to a volume or issue, it does have a
digital object identifier (DOI) and is fully citable. It will be compiled into
an issue according to the journal’s issue schedule, with papers being added by
chronological date of publication.

introducing a correction notice. Find out more about our article withdrawal and
correction policies.
