Dear DEI Division Members,
we are pleased to share a Call for Papers that may be of particular interest to our community, given its relevance to issues of inclusion, networks, and equity within knowledge processes.
The VINE Journal of Information and Knowledge Management Systems (Emerald Publishing), a Q1 Scimago-ranked journal in Business, Management and Accounting, Computer Science, and Social Sciences, is inviting submissions for its Special Issue:
The Role of Social Capital in Knowledge Management
This Special Issue explores how social capital-through networks, trust, and shared norms-shapes knowledge creation, sharing, and application within organizations. These dynamics are especially relevant in understanding how inclusive environments can foster (or hinder) equitable access to knowledge and opportunities.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Social capital and intellectual capital dynamics
- Measurement and dimensions of social capital in Knowledge Management
- The role of digital environments and emerging technologies in shaping and managing social capital
- Social capital disclosure
- Innovation, performance, and competitive advantage derived from social capital
- Inclusion, diversity, and equity implications of social capital in organizations
Submission deadline
31 October 2026
