Case Research

POLYMAS Case Research is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal devoted to case research across disciplines. It welcomes contributions from business, management, economics, artificial intelligence, computer science, law, public policy, education, health sciences, and related fields. The journal provides a forum for researchers working in different disciplines to share findings, methods, and perspectives on the study of real-world cases.

The journal welcomes both discipline-specific and interdisciplinary research. It publishes single-case, multiple-case, comparative, and longitudinal case studies, as well as research on case study methodology and reviews of developments in the field. Submissions should be grounded in clearly defined research questions, supported by appropriate theoretical or conceptual frameworks, and based on systematic evidence and rigorous analysis. The journal particularly welcomes studies that offer new theoretical or methodological insights or contribute to the understanding of complex issues in specific institutional, organizational, or social contexts.

In addition to original case research, the journal is interested in the relationship between case research, teaching, and professional practice. It welcomes scholarly work on the development and educational use of research-based cases, the application of case study methods in teaching and professional education, and the implications of case research for management, policy, and professional decision-making.

The journal does not publish standalone teaching cases or teaching notes. However, it welcomes research articles, reviews, and perspectives that critically examine case development, case pedagogy, and the use of case research in educational and professional settings.
