The Negotiation Journal – a multidisciplinary publication focused on negotiation, mediation, and conflict resolution – celebrates 40 years, joins MIT Press, and is now fully open access.
The Negotiation Journal is an international, multidisciplinary journal devoted to the publication of works that advance the theory, analysis, practice, and instruction of negotiation, mediation, and conflict resolution. Now published by MIT Press, in collaboration with the Program on Negotiation, the journal offers a wide range of articles, including those on the economic, legal, psychological, pedagogical, sociological, institutional, and theoretical aspects of dispute resolution. Readers will find reports on cutting-edge research, a wide range of case studies, teacher’s reports about what does and doesn’t work in the classroom, essays on leading practices, state-of-the-art essays, and book reviews.
As part of its move to a new publisher, the journal is now fully open access, with most of its issues published over the last 40 years freely available to the public. Professor James K. Sebenius, editor of the Negotiation Journal, celebrated the move, saying “The Negotiation Journal is delighted to partner with MIT Press as we transition to open access publishing and the journal becomes available worldwide to readers and authors free of charge. As an interdisciplinary journal based at Harvard Law School, we aim to provide those who study and teach negotiation, mediation, and conflict resolution with invaluable intellectual capital. Drawing on authors from around the world, our scholarly articles, case studies, and pedagogical insights offer useful analytical frameworks, diagnostic tools, and prescriptive theory to address the world’s most challenging deals and disputes.” The journal’s quarterly issues are now freely available online, anywhere in the world, with no fees for scholars who wish to publish in the journal. This move comes at a critical time for the field, according to PON faculty chair, Professor Guhan Subramanian. The “Negotiation Journal has been an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the pedagogy, practice, and theory of negotiation, mediation, and conflict resolution for almost 40 years. The need for scholarly, pedagogical, and practitioner resources in these areas has never been greater,” explained Subramanian. “With a shift to Open Access, we are pleased to make this material available free of charge to both contributors and readers.”
In addition to issues dating back to the journal’s founding 40 years ago, the newly released issue (Volume 40, Issue 1-2) is available online for free. This current issue features articles that provide concrete advice for effectively managing the turbulence and discord that define these times.
