Demystifying Organization Science

Abstract

With the journal’s rejection rate of more than 90%, getting published in Organization Science is indeed a salutary achievement. Over the years, however, the volume of submissions in Organization Science has grown significantly, creating a significant reviewing load for the reviewers and diminishing the likelihood of acceptance for authors. To assist submitting authors in better assessing their likelihood of acceptance and to improve it, this paper tries to demystify the journal by identifying what Organization Science looks for in a paper, its key policies and practices, and some key lessons for authors attempting to target this journal.
