# Administrative Science Quarterly Workflow (asq-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill; it tells you **which asq-* skill to use at your current stage**.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as **Administrative Science Quarterly (ASQ)** — a top, theory-driven journal in organization theory and the sociology of organizations, **founded in 1956 by James D. Thompson** (first editor 1956–1973; author of *Organizations in Action*) and published by SAGE in association with the **Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University**. Its motto: "Dedicated to advancing the understanding of administration through empirical investigation and theoretical analysis." ASQ's hallmark is a deep, often *surprising* theoretical insight about organizations, delivered with superb craft. It publishes **both** rigorous quantitative work **and** rich qualitative/inductive studies (grounded-theory, ethnographic, historical) — method follows the theoretical question. The current Editor is **Beth Bechky** (UC Davis; term began July 1, 2025, succeeding Christine Beckman and András Tilcsik), an ethnographer of work and occupations — a signal of ASQ's openness to inductive fieldwork. ASQ has **no submission fee**, is exceptionally selective (reported acceptance ~8%), uses **APA references** (since January 2025), and is distinctive among management journals for its standing **book review section**.

## When to trigger

- The user asks "what should I do next?"
- The user drops a draft and needs the current bottleneck diagnosed
- Work keeps ping-ponging between theory, methods, and prose with no clear state
- An ASQ decision letter arrived and the user needs to switch into review/rebuttal mode
