Editorial Process

The journal follows the following editorial workflow:

Submission → Administrative Screening → Editorial Screening → Similarity Screening → Reviewer Assignment → Double-Blind Peer Review → Author Revision → Editorial Evaluation → Final Decision → Copyediting → Proofreading → Production → Publication

Editorial decisions are made according to:

• originality;
• theoretical contribution;
• methodological rigor;
• reliability of evidence;
• relevance to management and organization research;
• ethical compliance;
• clarity of academic argument; and
• contribution to scholarly knowledge.

Editorial decisions must not be influenced by:

• nationality;
• institutional affiliation;
• gender;
• ethnicity;
• religion;
• political views;
• professional position;
• academic rank;
• personal relationships; or
• ability to pay publication charges.

Where a manuscript is submitted by an editor, Editorial Board member, reviewer, publisher representative, or person with a close relationship to the journal, an independent editor who has no relevant conflict of interest must oversee the editorial process.
