Journal of Critical Incidents

Submission deadline extended: June 14, 2024

  • Please submit work via IgnitEd Peer Review Portal.
  • JCI's focus is on brief incidents that tell about real situations.
  • Each incident tells a story, an experience, a blunder, or a success.
  • Unlike long cases, incidents provide only essential historical details and limited situation development.
  • Most incidents are decision oriented, but well written descriptive incidents are possible. Quantitatively oriented incidents need to include questions that require judgment.
  • Critical incidents can be based on either field work or secondary research.
  • The maximum length of a critical incident is three single-spaced pages.
  • The SCR Manuscript Guidelines for Authors provides layout and submission requirements.
  • View the SCR Generative AI Statement for guardrails to the use of generative AI in the research process for case studies, teaching notes, or articles.

No part of an SCR published case or teaching note may be reproduced by any means or used in any form without written permission of the Society for Case Research.
