Dear Colleagues,
I was made aware of Strategic Management Journal's policy regarding how to report p values, as described in the February 2016 SMJ editorial by Bettis, Ethiraj, Gambardella, Helfat, and Mitchell titled "Creating repeatable cumulative knowledge in strategic management." Specifically, "SMJ no longer accepts papers for publication that report or refer to cutoff levels of statistical significance (p-values). In statistical studies, authors should report either standard errors or exact p-values (without asterisks) or both, and should interpret these values appropriately in the text. Rather than referring to specific cutoff points, the discussion could report confidence intervals, explain the standard errors and/or the probability of observing the results in the particular sample, and assess the implications for the research questions or hypotheses tested."
The following article describes how to report p values, effect sizes, and the interpretation of the meaning and significance of effects for theory and practice thereby offering practical and actionable recommendations on how to report results that comply with SMJ's latest policy (article available at http://mypage.iu.edu/~haguinis/pubs.html):

We hope you will find this resource useful!
All the best,
--Herman.
