Special Issue Call for Papers

The editorial team of Small Group Research invites authors to submit proposals for the 2027 Review, Theory, and Methodology (RTM) Issue, published in February. The RTM issue especially promotes articles that may not have collected empirical data but contribute to the conversation around small group research and theory.

Review articles are high-impact scholarly surveys of important group and team research literatures. A review article would summarize recent research, provide integration across disciplines, emphasize and develop theory, and highlight important directions for future inquiry. Theory articles focus on the development of theory on groups and teams, without the in-depth and programmatic review that is required for a Review article. Methodology articles advance group and teams research through the introduction or explanation of novel concepts for the examination of groups or group processes.

Proposals must be submitted between April 1, 2025 and May 1, 2025.
