@grh is the journal of the Association Francophone de Gestion des Ressources Humaines (AGRH) (Francophone Human Resource Management Association).
Created by Didier Retour, it was launched in 2011 at the 22nd AGRH Conference in Marrakesh. It is now one of the foremost French-language journals in the field of human resource management (HRM). @grh is a platform allowing members of the AGRH to demonstrate the richness and relevance of their research, granting them maximum visibility.
@grh is targeted at researchers, management students, and practitioners who take an interest in research into HRM and wish to keep up to date on how its concepts, theoretical and methodological frameworks, and practices are evolving. Published articles should use scientific language and methods, while remaining comprehensible to a non-academic audience.
Articles published in @grh should be conceptually rigorous but written in such a way as to be accessible to informed readers who may not necessarily be specialists in the particular discipline or research method in question. They should also clearly highlight the managerial implications of the subject under discussion.
All articles are subject to peer review, and the editors-in-chief are dedicated to promoting and developing excellence in HRM research and intercultural understanding between researchers from different countries throughout the French-speaking world.
The journal’s editorial policy consists in covering various current and future themes of HRM, while encouraging interdisciplinarity and varied epistemological and methodological approaches. As well as empirical and methodological articles, it also welcomes theoretical texts, as long as their contribution to the scientific debate is clearly established. Articles may be written in French or in English.

With close links to the AGRH’s thematic research groups (GRTs), the journal welcomes article proposals on all themes related to HRM. It is also open to articles on management and management science, as long as they are explicitly linked to HR issues.
@grh operates in a collegial and transparent manner, with an editorial board comprised of twelve members (six of whom come from French-speaking countries beyond mainland France). Every article submitted to the journal goes through the following process:

• The editors-in-chief read the submission and assign a member of the editorial board, based on their areas of academic expertise, to conduct an initial evaluation of the proposal, in order to ensure that it is in line with the journal’s editorial policy. If the proposal is deemed appropriate, the editor sends their evaluation to the editors-in-chief, suggesting four potential peer reviewers (including two from the scientific committee). Two reviewers are ultimately chosen to conduct the peer review. The review criteria are as follows: originality of the research question; coherence and clarity of the overall structure; quality of the literature review and references; relevance of the methodological approach; significance of the data and their processing; richness of the discussion of results and theoretical contributions; practical implications; stylistic and linguistic quality;
• The reviews are then sent to the editors-in-chief for a summary and a decision on the next steps to be taken;
• The author, the editor, and the reviewers are kept fully informed throughout the entire process.>
  

  @grh must emphasize that this excellence would be impossible without the work of all of its anonymous reviewers. It would like to sincerely thank them for their essential and diligent collaboration.
  @grh publishes four issues per year (Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter). The Fall issue is a special issue compiling the best papers presented at that year’s AGRH Conference.
