Manuscript review process (as mentioned on website)
- The editorial structure is formed by Senior Editors and an Editorial Review Board.

- Editors and reviewers work with authors to develop papers.
- Manuscripts are reviewed in a double-blind process by at least two reviewers.
- The Senior Editor combines his or her comments with the reviewers' comments to form a decision.
- Each Senior Editor is charged with the decision to accept/reject a paper or to request a revision and resubmission.
- If a revision of a manuscript is invited, Organization Science urges the authors to resubmit the manuscript within three months and no later than one year from the date a revision is requested.
