Use when you want to understand how Organization Science review and decisions work before or after submitting — the decentralized senior-editor model with strong SE autonomy, the conflict-of-interest routing cascade, double-blind submission preparation, and how to read a decision letter at this venue.

# Review Process (orgsci-review-process)

## When to trigger

- You are about to submit and want to set expectations
- You received a decision letter and need to interpret who decided and why
- You are unsure how Organization Science routing differs from a departmental area-editor journal

## The decentralized senior-editor model

Organization Science runs a **decentralized model**: **Senior Editors** plus an **Editorial Review Board**, under Editor-in-Chief **Lamar Pierce** (Washington University in St. Louis). Each **Senior Editor has strong autonomy** — an SE can independently **accept, reject, or request an R&R**. This differs sharply from sister journal Management Science's fixed **departmental area-editor** routing: here the SE decides your paper, not a department head dispatching to an area editor. Routing follows a **conflict-of-interest cascade** — the **EIC handles deputy-editor submissions** and **deputy editors handle senior-editor submissions** — so editors do not adjudicate their own work.
