This chapter provides guidance on publishing theoretical, literature review, and policy papers. A primary theme of the chapter is that these papers are more difficult to publish than empirical papers because they have is no set structure, and because non-empirical papers do not rely directly on empirical data. Authors are advised to stay extremely close to existing empirical work when proposing a new theory or when reviewing literature. Differences between scoping and integrative reviews, and between theoretical and policy papers, are also outlined. The chapter suggests that authors provide clear justification for why their theory, review, or position is needed and for how it advances the literature. Common reviewer criticisms of non-empirical papers are also provided.
