Abstract:
Many organizational science journals have been revising their editorial practices in a manner consistent with the current zeitgeist of robust and reliable research. This talk will reflect on a number of key study design and analysis considerations, both within and outside of my personal editorial experiences (e.g., preregistration, inductive vs. deductive research, statistical reporting, supplemental materials). I’ll conclude with the obvious: that “best editorial practices” will continue to change quickly; that some seemingly modest improvements will greatly improve the quality and usefulness of our research; and that a serious focus on graduate education in open science is critical to the multidisciplinary value of our journals and our science.
