# Organization Studies (organization-studies)
## Journal positioning
Organization Studies (OS) is the flagship journal of the European Group for Organizational Studies (EGOS), published by SAGE, and the leading home for European organization theory. Its intellectual center is theoretical sophistication and qualitative depth: process theorizing, institutional theory, organizational discourse and sensemaking, practice perspectives, and critical approaches to organizations. OS rewards conceptual ambition and craft over technique; it is not an outlet for variance-model hypothesis testing or applied managerial prescriptions. The audience is organization theorists, many in the European tradition, so a paper must offer a genuine theoretical contribution to how we understand organizing.
This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the EGOS / Organization Studies / SAGE site and the submission system.
## When to trigger
- The author names Organization Studies / OS (or the EGOS / European organization-theory tradition) as the venue.
- A paper makes a process, institutional, discursive, or critical theoretical contribution, usually through qualitative depth.
- A theory-rich qualitative study needs a home that values interpretive and critical scholarship.
- The author needs OS's desk-reject risks and a credible `administrative-science-quarterly` / `human-relations` / `journal-of-management-studies` alternative list.
