# Review Process Navigation (asq-review-process)

## When to trigger

- You are about to submit and want to set expectations for the review
- A decision letter arrived and you need to interpret it before responding
- You are unsure how ASQ's developmental review differs from a desk-reject-heavy journal
- You need to decide whether an invitation to revise is worth pursuing

## How ASQ review works (durable norms)

ASQ is known for a **developmental, craft-focused, double-blind** review process. Editors and reviewers typically engage deeply with the *idea* and aim to help promising papers become their best version. The editorship passed from **Christine Beckman and András Tilcsik** to **Beth Bechky** (UC Davis; term began July 1, 2025), and recent editorial communications have foregrounded **curation** — shaping a smaller set of enduring papers rather than maximizing throughput. The three questions editors say they ask of any manuscript: does it (1) advance understanding of organizing (teams, enterprises, markets), (2) develop a new theoretical account or findings that challenge prior understanding, and (3) address a significant, challenging problem of management? Expect:

- **No submission fee** (ASQ has no mandatory submission or publication charge), but **selectivity is severe**: reported acceptance is around **8%** (third-party trackers, not an official figure — verify).
