  • 1.  Is our scientific literature process broken?

    Posted 02-14-2013 21:00

    My colleague Sven Kepes and I wrote a paper: "How trustworthy is the scientific literature in I-O psychology?" which will be a focal article in Industrial and Organizational Psychology: Perspectives on Science and Practice. The paper was posted this week at SIOP's website with an invitation to submit commentaries (http://www.siop.org/journal/siopjournal.aspx).

    The paper argues that researchers and journals may engage in a variety of non-optimal practices that are damaging to our literatures. We argue that our journals need to establish policy to minimize these non-optimal practices. Although the paper is targeted to I-O Psychology, the issues are broadly applicable to management and organizational sciences. Please consider the arguments and consider writing a commentary.

    Best wishes,

    Sven Kepes & Mike McDaniel

    I have been informed that if one is not a SIOP member, one cannot get a copy of the Kepes & McDaniel trustworthiness paper at the SIOP website due to the requirement for a login ID.

    With the permission of the editor, anyone can get the paper at:  http://www.people.vcu.edu/~mamcdani/Publications/IOP_trustworthiness_R&R_v1.11_1.pdf

    Best wishes,

    Mike
