Abstract

The article discusses the impact and role both special issue and regular issue articles have in management research and publication. There has been a trend in recent years to reserve publication space for special interests and topics that are of interest to specific researchers. Nevertheless, the articles that are published in a journal have a great deal of influence over the development of scientists and scientific fields. Special articles will have an impact on citations and focus of study which will change the course of management research over time. Caution should be taken when setting aside space for such issues so that the repercussions can be considered.
