The Journal of Venue and Event Management is a peer-reviewed professional publication dedicated to the reporting and dissemination of knowledge gained from theoretical and applied research studies. Research manuscripts focused on a topical area related to venue and event management are appropriate for submission.

Manuscript files (Microsoft Word format only) must be submitted electronically to the associate editor, Dr. Mark S. Nagel, at nagel@sc.edu and the subject of the e-mail should be “JVEM manuscript submission.” Also, attached to the e-mail message must be a statement declaring the manuscript has not been simultaneously submitted for publication and/or published elsewhere. Each submission must include a cover letter from the corresponding author that provides the title of the manuscript and gives the names, academic degrees, positions, and institutional affiliations of each author, as well as the corresponding author's mail address, telephone number, and e-mail address.

Acknowledgement of received manuscripts will be delivered via e-mail to the corresponding author.

Manuscripts must conform to the current “Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.” Manuscripts must include an abstract of approximately 150-200 words and complete references.

Each manuscript must be double-spaced throughout, using “Times New Roman” font (size 12), and utilizing one inch margins on the top, bottom, and sides. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted information and materials.

Submitting a manuscript indicates the author(s) agree(s) to the transfer copyright to the Journal of Venue and Event Management.

Manuscript acceptance is based on the originality and quality of the research, significance to the venue management profession, and adherence to the prescribed submission requirements.

Manuscript length, including tables and figures, should not exceed 5,000 words or 25 actual manuscript pages. Simple, straightforward writing—concise, logical, and clear—is best. Authors are strongly encouraged to have colleagues review their manuscript prior to submission.

The editors review all manuscripts upon receipt. Once the topic and style are deemed appropriate, manuscripts are then forwarded to at least two (generally three) reviewers with expertise in the topical area for their blind review. In most instances, the initial review process takes from six to twelve weeks. Following the review, each manuscript will be classified as either Accepted; Accepted with contingencies; Returned for resubmission and review following recommended changes; or, Rejected.

The associate editor will initiate and receive all communications from reviewers and corresponding authors.

Manuscripts will be published in the earliest appropriate and available issue following acceptance.
