Hi Everyone. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in Chicago next month. I've posted Organization Science's midyear report on our Substack (which you should definitely subscribe to): A Midsummer Night's Dream Report.
Here are a few highlights:
- Submissions in 2024 are up 25%, so keep them coming!
- Our impact factor rose from 4.1 to 4.9.
- Our turnaround time remains strong, averaging in the 70 day range for papers not desk-rejected. We still have some outliers we are working to address, so there is definitely room for improvement.
- 92% of reviewed papers are returned with three more reviews.
- Papers are going fewer rounds, and very rarely rejected in the third round and later (never in the fourth or later)
- Our paper inventory remains low, but we are working to eliminate the outliers past four months in the future.
I'm grateful to everyone who contributes to make our success possible. We'll look forward to your submissions, reviews, and readership in the future!
