Extending FBRs Reach
We devote significant efforts to disseminate research published in FBR both to the scientific and
practitioner communities. SAGE provides regular blogs and free access of selected articles which help
with downloads and usage of FBR articles. In addition, we have a highly capable team of thoughtful
practitioner scholars working under the guidance of our assistant editor Karen Vinton. When an
article is accepted in FBR, this team prepares a practitioner friendly executive summary. And, for
selected articles considered particularly relevant for practitioners, a podcast is prepared as well. All
executive summaries and podcasts are posted as links alongside the article. A new ‘Research Applied
Board’ is added to FBR in 2015. Members of this board will work with Karen to disseminate FBR
published research into practitioner communities around the globe.
Occasionally, we invite practitioners to write a ‘Call for Research’ on topics they are facing in their
practice regularly but find little usable knowledge. Call for research on addiction is family firms is
available through link below:
