THE JOURNAL OF APPLIED BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE
SPECIAL ISSUE CALL FOR PROPOSALS
The Journal of Applied Behavioral Science (JABS) invites proposals for special issues that consider a specific research area that has broad appeal and falls within the aims and scope of the journal (https://journals.sagepub.com/home/jab)
JABS brings to scholars and professionals the latest theory and research on processes and techniques of change in groups, organizations and larger systems, and academic-practitioner collaborations. The journal also informs professionals and organizations on issues in group, organizational and system dynamics.
Special issues provide an opportunity to review an addressed topic, deal with previously underdeveloped aspects, or examine new approaches, perspectives or lines of research.
