3.3.2. California Management Review
California Management Review (CMR) started to show strong interest in project management in the 1990s (22%) and beyond. More that 60% of the occurrences in its papers were published during the 1990s (22%) and 2000s (42%). OB/HRM (20%), IT/IS (18%), and TECH/INNOV/ NPD/R&D (16%) were the three areas that were addressed in more than 50% of its occurrences of project management research. QM/6SIGMA/PI (2%) was the least addressed subject [69]. Currently, CMR is planning to publish a spe¬cial issue on ‘‘Infrastructure Privatization: Frameworks and Tools for a Regulated Setting” with emphasis on project evaluation, policy making, design and development, project management, and sustainability, which shows a continuing interest in project management research and applications. CMR also published quite a few articles related to high-technology management, information systems technology, and practices in the Silicon Valley area which portrays a specific trait of this journal.
3.3.3. Sloan Management Review
Similar to Harvard Business Review, STRATEGY/PPM (38%), and OB/HRM (27%) were the two areas that had most occurrences of project management research in papers in Sloan Management Review (SMR) followed by OR/DS/OM/SCM (12%) and TECH/INNOV/NPD/ R&D (12%). No occurrences in its papers came from EC/CONTRACT/LEGAL and QM/6SIGMA/PI. Also, it is interesting to note that there is a strong upward trend in publication of project management research in SMR starting from the 1970s (27%), and continuing into the 1980s (38%), and 1990s (35%).
3.3.4. Long Range Planning
Long Range Planning (LRP) is one of the leading inter-national journals in the field of strategic management and it is published six times a year [70]. LRP had 56 papers (83 occurrences) related to project management during the last 40 years. Many of the papers related to project management were published during the 1980s (31%) and 1990s (34%). Since the new editorial direction of the journal in the early 2000s, far fewer papers related to project management appeared in recent years. Because of the ‘‘strategic nature” of the journal, STRATEGY/PPM accounts for over 50% of
