Evidence-based HRM, 2013, vol. 1, issue 1, 4-15

Abstract: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to provide an introduction to the new journal, its inspirations, scope and ambitions. Design/methodology/approach - The paper reviews selected strands of the literature on evidence‐based scholarship and discusses some of the observations and remedial recommendations made in the literature to bring research, policy and practice closer together. Findings - Drawing on these observations and recommendations, the paper highlights the roles our authors and their published works can play when contributing to an evidence‐based HR research agenda. Building on these insights, the paper arrives at the journal's editorial vision and encourages the production of scholarly empirical research articles that have a high impact on the HR field as a whole. Embracing the richness of contributions from multiple disciplines and supporting a thematic diversity in the international HR arena, the paper introduces and explains the core principlesEBHRMstrives to encourage and promote: empirical robustness, analytical rigourandpractical significance. Originality/value - In the spirit of these arguments, the paper makes the case for taking on the challenge of moving scholarship, policy and practice closer together and introduces the first contributions.
