Dear Colleagues
This email has 2 main parts. First, it is my pleasure to bring to you our 4th Journal of Business and Psychology virtual issue on Data and Methods in IO/OB/HR. This fully free access issue of JBP brings forward virtually all of our major methodological pieces published in the last few years. It will remain open through most of March. I really appreciate Springer letting this happen. The 2nd part is our annual report, including award winners (e.g., our first recipient of the JBP Stan Gully Award for Sustained Excellence in Reviewing).

Big congratulations to Erin Richard, Florida Institute of Technology for being the inaugural recipient of the 2017 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 a new 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.
In 2017 we received over 450 new submissions. We also had 133 revisions come. So, overall, the journal was very busy.
Overall, For 2017 We had around a 9% acceptance rate. More meaningfully, of the papers that go under review (so this ignores desk rejects), it looks like 72% are not accepted and 28% get R&Rs by the acting editor.
The average total time to decision (this adds in action editor decision making time) for papers not accepted is 79 days and for R&Rs it is 88 days. We are pretty much keeping our commitment to authors to turnaround papers in 90 days.
Of first R&Rs received, 26.3% were not accepted. So, R&Rs are meeting with good success.
It is also extremely rare to go beyond 2 revisions going out to reviewers so the review process does not drag out.
Some 2017 highlights
2.69 (2 year impact factor) and 3.23 (5 year impact factor).
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 I am 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.
Downloads are at an all time high, over 300,000. In 2007, for context, we had 35,586 downloads
Three years ago JBP began a new initiative whereby the editors identified papers of particular note. These papers received an "Editor Commendation". Congrats to the authors of the following 2017 recipients of an Editor Commendation:
