This is the Journal of Business and Psychology 2019 year-end report.
In 2019 we received a bit over 800 new submissions. This is another record year. In fact, this is over 30% more than 2018. We also had 142 revisions come. So, overall, the journal was very busy.
Using Web of Science, I am able to calculate a preview of our 2019 impact factors.
Estimated 2019 2-year impact factor: 3.61
Estimated 2019 5-year impact factor: 4.68

Big congratulations to Sylvia Roch, University at Albany, SUNY for being the recipient of the 2019 JBP Stan Gully Award for Sustained Excellence in Reviewing. This is an award recognizing a JBP board member for 7 or more years of sustained excellence in reviewing. This is an award named to honor a dear colleague that passed away, Stan Gully. Stan, a former JBP award winner, epitomized this award with his fantastic reviews, which were delivered constructively, and compassionately.
Initial screening
Decisions made quite quickly. Big thanks to the assistant editors who made this possible in 2019 (Allison Traylor, Shannon Cheng, Karoline Summerville and Matt Hanson). Upon receiving a paper, if it is desk rejected, it happens in 5 days on average. Our desk reject rate is at about 66%. We tend to be pretty heavy handed on this. I don't see this as a bad thing given that we are clearly receiving and accepting a lot of positively impactful papers. But I do see this as healthy for the authors (don't hang them up in an extended review process) and the reviewers/editors in particular (keep loads way down).
Reviewer Actions
Reviewer accepts review invitation, on average, in just 2.2 days. Reviewers, on average, completed their review in 39 days (record low)
Editor Decisions
Overall, for 2019 We had around a 8.5% acceptance rate. More meaningfully, of the 248 papers that go under review (so this ignores desk rejects), it looks like 68% are not accepted and 32% get R&Rs by the acting editor. Similar as last year. This seems like a good balance to me especially as I want JBP to be in the business of accepting very good work, and not rejecting very good work.
The average total time to decision (this adds in action editor decision making time) for papers not accepted is 86 days and for R&Rs it is 95 days. We are pretty much keeping our commitment to authors to turnaround papers in 90 days.
Of first R&Rs received, 18% were not accepted. The rest received R&Rs. So, R&Rs are meeting with good success.
It is also extremely rare to go beyond 2 revisions going out to reviewers so the review process does not drag out, happened just 18 times. This is definitely something very important to us.
Still working with the Center of Open Science to create a repository associated with every article we publish where authors can choose to put measures, code, procedures, and data. This will be a voluntary initiative, but super excited to keep pushing open science in everything we do. Will release January/February.
The results-blind review initiative is moving forward. We get at least one submission a month. More info can be found here jbp.uncc.edu. We have published papers submitted for this initiative. We don't asterisk or note papers published in the format. Everything I am seeing to date is quite positive about this approach. The published work answers important questions in rigorous ways – the actual findings do not come into play, only the competence in which they were carried out.
Four years ago JBP began a new initiative whereby the editors identified papers of particular note. These papers received an "Editor Commendation". Congrats to the authors of the following 2019 recipients of an Editor Commendation:
