orgsci-topic-selection

separate

Use when choosing or sharpening a research question for an Organization Science manuscript — testing whether it is a theory-driven question about organizations spanning micro to macro, and whether Organization Science (rather than ASQ, AMJ, Management Science, or a field journal) is the right venue.

When to use

• Choosing a research question for Organization Science
• Sharpening a research question
• Testing venue fit for Organization Science
• Evaluating if a question is theory-driven
• Comparing Organization Science against ASQ, AMJ, or Management Science
• Assessing contribution sources
• Determining level of analysis
• Running a fit pass for Organization Science

When not to use

• Tasks not involving Organization Science manuscript preparation
• Questions without an organization-theory engine
• Forcing causal-identification framing unsupported by data
• Pitching pure novelty without a contribution
