Dear Colleagues
This email has 2 main parts. First, it is my pleasure to bring to you our third Journal of Business and Psychology virtual issue on "Data and Methods in Organizational Science ". This fully free access issue (60 days) brings forward all of our major methodological pieces published in the last four years. This work not only offers "how to" types of guides, but represents the current state of our science. They are excellent resources written by premier scholars for navigating methodologies/ techniques such as common method variance, relative weights, group level-level research, ICCs, M-Turk, moderation, item-sorting, SEM, Meta-analyis, and historiography. All can be found here:

2.25 (2 year impact factor) and 3.577 (5 year impact factor)
Hybrid registered reports (results-blind review process) is going well to start. We get at least one submission a month. More info can be found here jbp.uncc.edu
