aos-review-process

separate

Use when you need to understand how Accounting, Organizations and Society (AOS) evaluates a manuscript — triage by the joint Editors-in-Chief, double-anonymized review by interdisciplinary referees, the meaning of each decision type, and how to read the editor's letter. Explains the process; it does not draft the revision response (aos-rebuttal).

When to use

• Calibrating expectations before or after submitting to AOS
• Decoding signals in a decision letter
• Anticipating the reviewer mix for an interdisciplinary journal
• Deciding whether to rework a rejected paper for AOS or reroute it
• Understanding triage by joint Editors-in-Chief
• Understanding double-anonymized refereeing
• Classifying reviewer points as writing, substance, or paradigm issues
• Diagnosing negative decisions as scope, theory, or evidence failures

When not to use

• Drafting the revision response
• Drafting rebuttals
