  • Reviewing Well: A New PDW Series Begins June 30

    By: Harry Wang Harry Wang , 6 days ago

    OB Division program development

    Reviewing well

    A three-part PDW series on becoming a more effective, efficient, constructive, and editor-ready reviewer

    The foundations of reviewing well — series poster

    Strong reviewing shapes the rigor of our science, yet most of us were never formally taught how to do it well. The OB Division is launching Reviewing Well, a three-part PDW series designed to help scholars become more effective, efficient, constructive, and editor-ready reviewers, and to position interested members for future editorial review board service.

    Space is limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. We especially encourage early assistant professors, postdocs, and advanced doctoral students to attend. Experienced reviewers are also welcome alongside newer scholars.

    Register now

    Part 1: The foundations of reviewing well

    Virtual PDW on Zoom  ·  June 30, 2026  ·  11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. EDT

    Part 1 provides practical guidance on how the review process actually works, what editors need from reviewers, what strong reviews look like, and how to offer feedback that is clear, rigorous, and useful. The session features short presentations followed by small-group breakouts and Q&A, giving participants direct access to Associate Editors and Editors-in-Chief from top journals, including AMJ, AMR, JAP, JOM, OBHDP, Organization Science, and Personnel Psychology.
