Synthèse

This annual special issue invites authors to submit proposals for integrative literature reviews of important supply chain management research streams. The special issue aims to synthesize current knowledge and provide direction for future development in the field. Rather than submitting full papers, authors propose a review project that outlines how they will examine and synthesize a focused area of SCM scholarship.

Proposals are evaluated on their significance, feasibility, potential breadth of interest, clarity, and contribution to future research directions. The review should address a notable gap in existing literature or provide substantial new perspective beyond prior reviews. The guest editors emphasize that proposals must be carefully crafted and authors should seek colleague feedback before submission, as rough drafts will not be pre-screened.
