Hi folks! I've publicly released Organization Science's 2023 Mid-Year Performance Report at Substack: Organization Science Mid-Year Performance Report . Check it out (and sign up for our Substack)! For those of you who just want the basics (and not my attempts at graphical design):
-
99% of papers submitted in Jan/Feb were decided by June 19. 92% if you include March submissions.
-
For the 99% of papers from Jan/Feb, mean review time was 67 days when the paper went out for review (70 for first round).
-
92% of papers were returned with three or more reviews. The other 8% had two reviews.
- We reduced inventory 38% from 306 papers to 190, despite more submissions. The number of papers over 120 days dropped from 32 to 2. Those over 150 days dropped from 22 to 0. There are currently no papers that have been under review for greater than 135 days
- Our 2022 Impact Factor fell to 4.1, a similar decrease to many other journals in our field. This has and will be a major point of emphasis moving forward, and we're confident that as our work starts showing up there in the next 2-3 years, the IF will increase as well. If you peruse our recent and forthcoming papers, you'll see that the previous editorial team left me with some awesome papers that will show up in the 2024 IF calculation.
This was a fantastic effort by our entire editorial and reviewer team. If you see me at AOM this week, please say hi, and safe travels everyone.
