jms-review-process

Use when you need to understand or set expectations for the Journal of Management Studies (JMS) editorial and peer-review process — desk screening, double-blind developmental review, and reading a decision letter. Explains the process and how to read decisions; it does not draft the response letter (jms-rebuttal).

# Understanding the Review Process (jms-review-process)

## When to trigger

- Before submitting, to calibrate expectations about timeline, desk-reject odds, and decision types
- A decision letter arrived and you need to interpret it (R&R vs. reject; major vs. minor)
- You are unsure how much weight reviewers vs. the handling editor carry
- You want to plan a revision strategy before drafting the response (then go to `jms-rebuttal`)

> Editorial structure, named editors, and exact turnaround change; verify the current team and policies on the official Wiley/SAMS pages. As of `检索于 2026-06;以官网为准`: JMS uses **double-blind** review; the editorial office is at **Durham University**; the General Editors/Editor-in-Chief and exact timelines are **待核实** unless quoted from an official page at submission time. The norms below are durable.

## How JMS review works (durable norms)

1. **Submission & routing.** A fully anonymised manuscript enters via ScholarOne (mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jmstudies). A General Editor (or an Associate/handling Editor) screens it and, if it passes, routes it to a handling editor in the relevant area.
