How to structure and write an article in management

Researchers and perhaps more notably masters and doctoral students and the recently graduated Ph.Ds are pressed to research and publish. There is ample international evidence on the high rejection rates of manuscripts submitted to journals and it is possible that the difficulties of communicating are higher than those pertaining to theory or following appropriate methodological procedures and techniques. With this essay we contribute to improve the articles presenting the basic structure that must be followed in organizing the article and a roadmap for working on the writing of the article. The quality of the writing and telling a story are two crucial components often overlooked but there are specificities to each part of the article and a structure to follow to attend to the expectations of reviewers and readers. Understanding these roadmaps and developing the practice for doing research contributes to researchers' ability to convert their studies into publishable articles.
