Organization Science

Organization Science publishes fundamental research about organizations, including their processes, structures, technologies, identities, capabilities, forms, and performance. Research from different disciplines, such as organizational behavior and theory, strategic management, psychology, sociology, economics, political science, information systems, technology management, communication, and cognitive science, is represented in the journal. We welcome research at different levels of analysis, including the organization, the groups or units that constitute organizations, and the networks in which organizations are embedded. Diverse methods and approaches are also welcome. Creative insight often occurs at the boundaries between traditional research approaches and topic areas. The editors are especially interested in manuscripts that break new ground rather than ones that make incremental contributions. In addition to the original research reports that are the core of the journal, we occasionally publish essays in our “Perspectives” section that direct attention to an important new organizational phenomenon or redirect a line of research. We also publish essays in our “Crossroads” section that capture a current debate about organizations. More specifically, Organization Science seeks to publish papers that start or redirect a line of inquiry; draw upon multiple disciplines; employ diverse methods, including qualitative, field, survey, archival, laboratory, and computational methods; focus on different kinds of organizations, including firms, not-for-profit organizations, and voluntary organizations; make a theoretical contribution; provide new empirical findings; achieve genuine integration of theory and data; provide a theoretically driven review and integration of an important research area; and/or discuss findings in terms of improving organizational performance.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Cites per Doc

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.
