About the Journal

Focus and Scope

Organisational Project Management will publish peer reviewed scholarly articles - qualitative, quantitative and mixed-methods research papers as well as theoretical and exploratory papers - covering the many and varied aspects of organisational project management. In order to link theory with practice it also publishes original and innovative practice papers which are reviewed for relevance to practitioners by members of the editorial board. From time to time the journal also publishes opinion pieces on contemporary issues or topics of interest to its readers and book reviews. Since the journal is published online it is able to incorporate multimedia content in its publications.

The journal aims to cover all aspects of organisational project management including (but not limited to) linking strategy to projects, change management, governance, leadership, innovation, project marketing, maturity models, and also how projects are managed in different types of organizations such as private, public and community organizations.

The journal will publish one issue for the whole year. The final table of contents for a year will be compiled at the end of the year. In the meantime authors' contributions will be published with a volume and page number so that others can cite their paper with full details.

The journal will still publish special issues on behalf of conference organizers, special interest groups and researchers who want to use our services. These will be published as a separate issue during the year in collaboration with special issue editors.

Journal History

Although the journal 'Organisational Project Management' (OPM) is being published for the first time in 2014 it is an evolution from its predecessor 'The Journal of Project Program and Portfolio Management' (JPPPM) which started its publication in 2010 as the first Open Access Journal in Project Management by UTS ePRESS. JPPPM was started with three objectives in mind:

First, we felt that as program and portfolio management are gaining more prominence we needed a journal that also gave importance to these aspects of implementing organizational strategies through projects. The second aim was to increase professional and public access to knowledge resources by being part of the open journal system, which was established by the Public Knowledge Project to improve the scholarly and public quality of research. Finally, we wanted to establish a journal that bridged theory and practice by including both journal articles as well as case studies so that academics and practitioners will find a single forum to publish their work.

The last two aims remain the same but we have now expanded the scope of the journal to covers topics wider than portfolio, program and portfolio management as the field of project management has broadened into organisational project management . We also decided to publish ‘just in time’ or in other words articles, practice papers and case studies will be published soon after they are reviewed and revised to the satisfaction of the editorial team.
