Author Submission and Review
Guidelines
Here are the guidelines for submitting an article to the Review of
Business:
Topics:
Articles in all business fields including law, ethics, and poverty,
which are of current interest to business practitioners and
educators, preferably with practical action-oriented
recommendations.
Submit your paper by email in a Microsoft Word
format to: reviewofbusiness@stjohns.edu.
Files in PDF format cannot be accepted.
Length:
1. Eighteen pages with double-spaced text is the
maximum length free of charge.
2. Include within these pages all tables or
charts. Please call them Exhibits, and number them
sequentially.
3. Include a list of References at the end of the
article. Do not include references that have not been
mentioned within your article.
4. Two or three excess pages are permitted, but
there will be a $50 charge for each double-spaced page. Make
your check payable to St. John’s University.
Your paper should include:
1. An Executive Summary (length about 1 page); no
Abstract is needed.
2. A clearly stated Objective (research
question).
3. The importance of the topic, and your
contribution to it.
4. A review of recent literature.
Citations and References:
1. Put citations within the text immediately
after you quote or paraphrase someone else’s statement or original
idea. Put the citation inside parentheses, using the standard
format. For example: (Smith, 2008, p. 43). Whenever possible,
include the page number of your reference.
2. Do not cite unnecessary items. Give credit
only to new or significant ideas or material. Too many citations
can make an article difficult to read. If you need to insert
multiple citations within a paragraph, consider making some of them
Endnotes, instead.
3. Put an alphabetical list of your
bibliographical References at the end of the article. Include
only references that are used in the text.
4. Please use the following bibliographic
format:

Author’s Name. Year. Title of book in italics. City:
