Ask an AMR Associate Editor: Session 4 - What’s Next After Rejection?

What’s Next After Rejection?
Jessica Methot, Rutgers University
June 2024

Ask an AMR AE is a series of informal sessions with the Academy of Management Review’s (AMR) Associate Editors (AEs). Each session begins with a short presentation by one or more associate editors on a specific topic related to publishing in AMR. After the presentation, the featured AE(s) will answer participants’ questions. These sessions will help authors who are considering submitting their work to AMR and who seek guidance on navigating the publication process. AMR Associate Editors, Dana Minbaeva and Chak Fu Lam, are coordinating this series.

In the upcoming session, Jessica Methot will discuss the perspective of considering developmental desk rejects as valuable opportunities. She will highlight the significance for authors to see these decisions as a chance to regroup and address issues that may lead to rejection, acknowledging that they will have the opportunity to submit their paper to AMR as a new submission once these concerns are resolved.
