In related news, we have moved up a full ranking in Chartered Association of Business Schools

journal listing.

And, probably the neatest news, we hit a record for downloads nearing 600K!!

Big congratulations to Jonathan Ziegert, Drexel University, for being the recipient of the 2021 JBP Stan Gully Award for Sustained Excellence in Reviewing. This is an award recognizing a JBP board member for 7 or more years of sustained excellence in reviewing.  This is an award named to honor a dear colleague that passed away, Stan Gully.  Stan, a former JBP award winner, epitomized this award with his fantastic reviews, which were delivered constructively and compassionately.

Initial screening
Decisions are made quite quickly.  Upon receiving a paper, if it is desk rejected, it happens in 5 days on average.  Desk reject rate is approximately 60%. 

 
Reviewer Actions
Reviewers accept invitations in just 2.2 days on average. Reviewers, on average, completed their review in 42 days.
 
Editor Decisions
Overall, for 2021 We had around an 6% acceptance rate.  This is a little deceiving though as we have a very high desk reject rate.   First round decisions make on average in 85 days from submission

 
It is also quite rare to go beyond 2 revisions going out to reviewers so the review process does not drag out;. This is definitely something very important to us. Only around 20 percent of R&Rs rejected! None after the first revision

Searchable listing of all papers accepted and published in 2021

Open Science/Better Science

So excited to share with you that our repository is now robust with materials rarely found with published articles.  We worked with the Center of Open Science to create a repository associated with every article we publish where authors can choose to put measures, code, procedures, and/or data. This initiative is voluntary, but author response has been fantastic.

The results-blind review initiative is moving forward.  We get at least one submission a month.  More info can be found here jbp.uncc.edu. We have published papers submitted for this initiative.  We don't asterisk or note papers published in the format. Everything we are seeing to date is quite positive about this approach. The published work answers important questions in rigorous ways – the actual findings do not come into play, only the competence in which they were carried out.
