This is Listen to the Editors, a series of interviews with journal editors to unveil the trends in research on Operations and Supply Chain Management.
I am your host, Iuri Gavronski.
This month, we are posting in our podcast a workshop promoted by the Journal of Supply Chain Management, Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management, International Journal of Operations and Production Management, and the Journal of Business Logistics.
The editors-in-chief for these four journals convened online on Aug 20, 2020 to promote a workshop for reviewers and we find very interesting their insights on ethics on publication, how do you interact with the editors, and what is expected from the reviewers. I hope our listeners enjoy this episode.
The editors that were presenting and discussing were:
* Barbara B. Flynn; Professor Kelley School of Business at the Indiana University, co-EIC for the Journal of Supply Chain Management
* David Cantor; Professor of Supply Chain Management at Iowa State University - Ivy College of Business, co-EIC for the Journal of Supply Chain Management
* Wendy Tate; Professor of Supply Chain Management Department of Marketing and Supply Chain Management at the University of Tennessee, co-EIC for the Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management.
* Louise A. Knight, Full Professor at the University of Twente, co-EIC for the Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management.
* Robert D. Klassen; Professor of Operations Management at Ivey Business School, co-EIC for the International Journal of Operations and Production Management
* Constantin Blome, Professor in Operations Management at the University of Sussex Business School, co-EIC for the International Journal of Operations and Production Management
* Beth Davis-Sramek; Gayle Parks Forehand Professor of Supply Chain Management; Auburn University; Co-EIC for Journal of Business Logistics
We also post below some conversations that ensued in the chat for the Zoom session:
09:10:44 From Ted Farris : Never was "taught" how to review as a doctoral student so developed my own process. What order do you suggest one conducts a review...red the whole thing through or in pieces and then the whole thing through. For example, I start with the abstract and then go to the tables and figures (to make sure they stand by themselves), then the references, then the conclusion, then the main text.
09:16:14 From Ted Farris : Time to conduct a review...how long should it take?
09:17:18 From Himanshu Shee : It is my work, wondering why can’t I reuse it in my work again. Looks silly but I am still curious to use!!
09:18:56 From Gina McNally : What is the red flag level for plagiarism checker?
09:19:13 From Louise KNIGHT : Every article must make an original contribution, so recycling your own work is not considered acceptable
09:20:17 From Barbara Flynn : We'll talk about the red flag level during the Q&A, but we start getting alarmed as that number approaches 20%.
09:20:22 From Marika Tuomela-Pyykkönen : What software would you recommend for checking the (self)plagiarism?
09:22:17 From Louise KNIGHT : Déjà lu: On the limits of data reuse across multiple publications Erik M.van Raaij
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pursup.2018.06.002
09:22:19 From Ted Farris : I am writing a reprise of a published paper written in 2002 (since so much has changed) and am submitting to the same journal. What % of the original content is usable?
09:22:24 From Himanshu Shee : Each journal has a fixed format and empirical study has a kind of fixed writing style. So overlapping of text and methodological context get duplicated easily. Wondering how to rephrase or make different!!
09:26:10 From Constantin Blome : @Himanshu: There are of course some overlaps in the methodology section. That is to a certain extent okay, but there are many different ways to express also statistics and everybody makes his or her life easier by avoiding copying also in these sections. Having said that copying particularly in the other sections is a no-go, including self-plagiarism.
09:26:51 From Ted Farris : good tip on authors running a plagiarism checker! As a reviewer should I assume the editors have done this or should reviewers runs a checker?
09:27:28 From Barbara Flynn : Yes, our submission systems automatically do this for every submission, and we pay close attention to it.
09:27:32 From Constantin Blome : @Ted: Most journals run them now.
09:27:52 From Louise KNIGHT : Editors will run checks but a reviewer should raise any concerns with the editor
09:28:26 From Barbara Flynn : Yes, it's always appropriate to contact the editor if you have any sort of concerns as a reviewer.
09:29:08 From Constantin Blome : What editors are often less aware of and where reviewers can do a great job is where similar data has been used before. It is always helpful in case reviewers identify that content-wise (not plagiarism-wise) is similar.
09:30:09 From Louise KNIGHT : Journals provide guidelines to reviewers. Also check out general advice on reviewing provided by publishers, for example from Elsevier: https://www.elsevier.com/reviewers/how-to-review
09:33:49 From Gina McNally : Should reviewers include their recommendation in the comments to the authors?
09:35:53 From Constantin Blome : Some journals don't want to have that recommendation included, they make this explicit, but to a certain extent it also provides clarity. However, most important is the constructive feedback, not the recommendation per se, as the AE/ Editor should come up with the conclusion.
09:36:01 From Louise KNIGHT : For JPSM, we prefer not - you provide the recommendation separately. If it's a difficult call, then add a note to the editor.
09:38:00 From Himanshu Shee : On average two days will be good I guess…. To read and make the report ready…. Can’t afford more than that!
09:38:35 From Beth Davis-Sramek : At JBL, it's fine to include your recommendation. I generally start with an "overview" section. In it, I offer positive comments and then say something like, "however, there are some issues that are offered in more detail below that prevent me from recommending that the paper move forward." There can be a "soft" way to communicate a rejection, but I think it's important to provide clarity to the author(s).
09:40:06 From Ted Farris : at what point as a reviewer is a paper so bad that you stop in the middle and return it to the editor
09:40:06 From Himanshu Shee : Does the editor engage more than 3 reviewers to reject a paper?
09:40:08 From Constantin Blome : I agree here. Sometimes it is strange to receive a very friendly review, but then the author writes to the editor that this is a clear reject. It's important to be friendly and constructive, but also authentic. Not easy at all.
09:41:00 From Constantin Blome : @Ted: I would say, almost never.
09:42:13 From Beth Davis-Sramek : @Ted: My hope would be that if we send the paper out for review, then it is worth a full review. We will desk reject those that do not meet a minimum quality threshold.
09:43:37 From Anníbal Sodero - Ohio State University - Fisher College : I typically read the main paper cited by the paper I am reviewing and usually skim through a couple of other ones. I like to ensure authors are building on the work of others in a "proper" way, that is, that there is no misrepresentation. A common mistake is to cite a work just for the sake of having a reference, while the work actually contradicts what the authors are claiming. It also helps me to understand where the authors are coming from and what is the contribution they are making.
09:44:59 From Himanshu Shee : What exactly the desk review comprises of, it takes up to a couple of wks even to reject or decide on to put forward to review.
09:48:54 From Beth Davis-Sramek : @Himanshu: At JBL our goal will be to return a desk-rejected manuscript very quickly. I think two weeks is reasonable.
09:49:16 From Constantin Blome : At IJOPM desk rejects takes 1-5 days typically. If it takes longer then there is a reason for it (internal discussions on the manuscript etc). I guess 95% are done in 1-5 days. We have two steps: editorial assistant (who is also an academic) and then one of the four EICs.
09:49:22 From Louise KNIGHT : @Himanshu: Desk reviews vary - sometimes it is very clear that the standard is inadequate or there is not a good fit to the journal. Sometimes a much closer reading is needed, and this reveals that we do not think the paper has a fair prospect
09:49:49 From Constantin Blome : Interestingly enough we receive then emails from authors asking whether we read the manuscript at all as the turnaround time is fast. Of course, we do;-)
09:51:53 From Beth Davis-Sramek : HA! - So maybe two weeks isn't reasonable! Good point - some are very clearly desk rejects, and others may require more feedback, especially if we see potential and suggest to authors that they can fix the issues and resubmit.
09:53:26 From Ted Farris : Are there times of the year when it is best to submit something...are reviewers more available at different times (Christmas Break v middle of a semester)
09:54:08 From Barbara Flynn : I don't think so, but there are definitely better times for authors - we see seasonality in submissions. For example, a lot of manuscripts are submitted at the end of the summer, just before classes begin.
09:55:04 From Constantin Blome : Reviews over July/ August take longer. We also see that in the pandemic reviews slowed down.
09:55:12 From Ted Farris : A lot of times I comment to the authors about "unsubstantiated conjecture" where they do not support statements or make statements out of the blue. Reasonable comment to the authors?
09:55:40 From Barbara Flynn : Definitely. It's up to authors to make their points clear, not the reviewers and readers to guess.
09:55:45 From Constantin Blome : absolutely, but always good to give the example and give an example how this could be done better.
09:56:29 From Constantin Blome : Often the authors aren't aware that statements are not supported, but of course you don't have to list every unsupported sentence.
09:57:07 From Barbara Flynn : Agreed, it seems obvious to the authors because they are so familiar with the literature, but it's not obvious to others.
09:57:40 From Beth Davis-Sramek : I might also rephrase it to something like, "you need to provide more evidence from the literature that supports this statement/hypothesis/rationale" etc...
10:02:49 From Louise KNIGHT : I agree with that suggestion for rephrasing the point!
10:04:27 From Gina McNally : Can you post the references here in the chat, please? Thanks!
10:04:39 From Himanshu Shee : What methodology is usually a winner? Survey, interviews, mixed methods, longitudinal studies?
10:04:50 From jmuniz : Thanks for share the knowledge. Go Vols
10:06:35 From Constantin Blome : Important is that plagiarism only show "potential plagiarism" and we have to check then whether it is "real plagiarism".
10:07:06 From Arun Kumar Deshmukh : How much is the tolerable limit of similarity index?
10:07:14 From Juliette : Thank you for they great tips!
10:07:35 From Constantin Blome : There is no fixed percentage, but we look in far more detail with 20% or more.
10:07:38 From Juliette : *the not they
10:08:36 From Arun Kumar Deshmukh : Thanks Constantin Blome
10:09:39 From Himanshu Shee : It is so easy to get over 20% plagiarism adding those 1% coming’s from the references, key words and jargons etc…
10:09:50 From Constantin Blome : However, there are also many papers we still send out that have more than 20% in the software indicated, but it is not showing clear cases of plagiarism. So it depends.
10:10:28 From Himanshu Shee : Thanks Constantin
10:10:50 From Constantin Blome : Just to share, the nastiest emails I got from authors were all around plagiarism scores.
10:11:10 From Barbara Flynn : Huff, A.S., 2009. Evaluation of research design and outcomes. In Huff, A.S., Designing Research for Publication, Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications, Inc.
Koberg, D. & Bagnall, J., 1976. The Universal Traveler. New York: William Kaufman.
De Bono, E., 1999. Six Thinking Hats. Boston: Little, Brown. Also http://www.edwdebono.com/
10:11:27 From Wendy Tate : I agree with Constantin re the emails!
10:14:06 From Louise KNIGHT : A very low (artificially low) score in the plagiarism checker can be a trigger for a closer look. The tool indicates % recognised text, that's all - the rest is for editors to interpret
10:15:28 From Arun Kumar Deshmukh : Sometimes we get a paper with a newer method for review. Should we refuse to review it or the other part of the manuscripts should be evaluated without commenting on the method part?
10:15:56 From Constantin Blome : Personally, I also think that in some institutions PhDs reviews continuously for their supervisors. This would be considered highly unethical.
10:16:45 From Constantin Blome : I. suggest contact the editor.
10:18:17 From Arun Kumar Deshmukh : Thanks a lot
10:22:43 From Ted Farris : the better journals that I review for typically send feedback after all the reviews are in plsace
10:23:04 From Himanshu Shee : I suppose the journal offers a summary of the all reviews so one can see what others have done vs you
10:23:14 From marcon.arthur : Is it appropriate to contact the editor when the reviewers were not clear in their review or when they provide contradictory recommendations? For example, contacting the editor via email when we are working on the corrections of the paper
10:23:59 From Arun Kumar Deshmukh : As an editor, how you decide the fate of manuscripts when two reviewers suggest minor revision and one suggests the rejection?
10:24:03 From Constantin Blome : yes, this is fine Marcon
10:25:14 From Barbara Flynn : It's always fine to contact the editor about anything
10:25:24 From Constantin Blome : @Arun: first, we read the manuscript, but typically AEs would make the call first. But this is not different to any other combination of recommendations.
10:25:48 From Constantin Blome : I agree with Barb.

This is the ninth episode of Listen to the Editors, a series of interviews with journal editors to unveil the trends in research for Operations and Supply Chain Management.
In this episode, we are interviewing the editor-in-chief for the Academy of Management Review, Jay Barney.
I believe it is vital to increase the reach of OM/SCM research to a broader audience. That would attract more students to our Ph.D. programs and keep our vibrant area alive. So I decided to reach a non-OSCM journal to a) make their processes more visible to our community and b) learn how we can appeal to their readers. I also asked some editors from OM/SCM journals to send me questions, and I am immensely indebted with them for their insights.
The following is an outline of the interview (on most podcast players, you can click on the timestamp and jump to the point of the audio file):
(2:17) Jay reflects on the mission of the AMR
(3:45) Jay discusses changes in the mission of the journal over time.
(5:03) General information on the journal: issues/year, sections of the journal, papers/year.
(6:04) Submission levels
(6:36) Acceptance rates of the journal.
(7:08) Editorial process. Breakdown of the rejects by stage. Main causes for desk-rejects.
(11:31) Distinctive editorial policy for AMR: two rounds of reviews.
(14:05) Term of the editor
(14:15) Why Jay Barney decided to be the editor-in-chief for AMR
(18:35) Why AMR does not have an OM/SCM department or associate editor.
(23:15) How do the authors suggest associate editors?
(26:07) The main KPI for AMR is time: if the editor or the reviewer takes too long to act, Jay sends them a personal email.
(28:55) AMR had 7.3 million downloads in 2018.
(30:19) Breakdown of downloads by country.
(30:56) Why the diversity of the authors (i.e., non-native English speakers) is increasing in AMR.
(31:55) Open calls for papers
(34:21) How AMR papers are publicized outside academic audiences.
(37:06) How AMR impacts the managerial audience.
(41:27) What are phenomenal theories? How different are they from empirical studies.
(43:50) Building theories from cases, mathematical models, simulations.
(48:10) How to publish interventionist research on AMR
(49:29) Questions from editors-in-chief of OM/SCM journals: how can OSCM scholars have an impact on the general management theory.
(56:45) It is quite hard interviewing Jay Barney and not talking about RBV... I could not resist. In fact, I was just forwarding Tom’s question... ;-)
The host for this show is Iuri Gavronski, Associate Professor for the Graduate Program in Business for the UNISINOS Jesuit University.

Please say hi to him in my name as he used to be at Ohio State for a while when I first got here.
Do you foresee that in the near future OM/SCM research might either gain or lose “space” in the general management literature? Why?
Tyson Browning
Co-editor-in-chief for Journal of Operations Management
It might be interesting to ask him what (theories, methods, etc.) the broad management community should be learning from the OSCM community.
Thomas J. Goldsby
Co-Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Business Logistics
1) What supply chain-related questions would be of interest to the AMR readership? Are there domains of particular intrigue that our community should consider?
2) Jay was instrumental in forwarding the RBV theory of competitive strategy. Clearly, SCM researchers have embraced it in a big way to frame and explain hypothesized relationships in their inquiries. Does he have any suggestions of limits to RBV or aspects of its application that he sees as ill-suited to SCM inquiry?
3) Conversely, how does he see RBV adapting to multi-organizational resource collaboration in SCM -- in other words, do you see SCM areas calling for further exploration and development with RBV application?

This is the eighth episode of Listen to the Editors, a series of interviews with journal editors to unveil the trends in research for Operations and Supply Chain Management.This month we recorded our episode live in the Meet the Editors session at the 2019 Academy of Management Annual Conference. That session took place on August 12th. David Cantor was chairing the session. We had five editors representing four journals.Wendy Tate is the co-editor-in-chief of the Journal of Purchasing & Supply Management. Morgan Swink was representing the International Journal of Operations and Production Management. Chris Voss was representing the Journal of Service Management. Tyson Browning and Suzanne de Treville are the co-editors-in-chief of the Journal of Operations Management.While the entire session was interesting, I will place here some pointers to the contents:(01:22) Editors present themselves and provide some highlights of their journal’s mission(08:47) David asks recommendations for authors(09:03) Wendy: “read the journal.”(09:46) Wendy says that plagiarism, besides fit, is one top reason for desk-rejection in the JPSM.(10:27) Morgan builds on that and says that the methods section are a frequent source of plagiarism and self-plagiarism(13:15) Tyson provides an insight on the cover letter(16:34) Suzanne offers a delicious anecdote on the cover letter (Annals of Accounting)(18:44) David asks about non-traditional empirical contexts(24:13) Suzanne weights in on interventionist research(24:52) David asks how to describe data and methods (level of detail), especially when they are not well-known or very complex(27:41) Tyson attributes the plagiarism on the methods to the desire to recite the right incantations; hence authors should be very familiar with the methods and the state-of-the-art(29:00) Chris provided an example, where he and his co-authors were able to convince the reviewers by giving the full method description in the supplemental material. They initially did not provide the complete description to limit the size of the paper.(29:55) Morgan suggests that authors explain qualitative methods because reviewers are more familiar with quantitative empirical methods(31:51) David asked about supply networks research and open data(34:00) Suzanne weights in on sample size(35:32) A member of the audience has the impression that 100 cases are too few for a top journal(39:01) Suzanne explains why editors are tired of hearing about gaps(40:12) Morgan discusses rules of thumb, hard rules, and guidelines(41:08) Tyson and Chris elaborate on the trade-off between rigor and interest(41:43) Iuri asks about the role of surveys in modern OSCM research. Morgan gives his thoughts.(45:20) Wendy provides her opinion on data obtained by survey firms(46:07) Tyson gives some suggestions for sound survey designThe host for this show is Iuri Gavronski, Associate Professor for the Graduate Program in Business for the UNISINOS Jesuit University.Listen to the editors is an initiative of the Operations and Supply Chain Management division of the Academy of Management.

This is the sixth episode of Listen to the Editors, a series of interviews with journal editors to unveil the trends in research for Operations and Supply Chain Management.
In this episode we are interviewing the editor-in-chief for the Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, Christopher S. Tang. He served as the editor-in-chief since 2015 and his tenure ends in December 2020, as required by INFORMS, the sponsor of the journal.
The MSOM journal exists since 1999 and is listed in the prestigious list FT50 since 2016. It received 500 submissions in 2018, with 13-14% acceptance rate. Dr. Tang attempted to make the editorial board more inclusive, in terms of gender, research methods, geographic location, and affiliation. Around 10-12% are desk-rejected, but the reasons vary, because department editors handle the majority of the papers. The papers were downloaded 26,000 times in 2018. We don't have data on the global reach of the journal.
We discussed the editorial process. Dr. Tang implemented what he calls the 2+2+2 criteria: two reviewers, two rounds, two opportunities to resubmit. We had an overview of the Best Paper Award. We also talked about Practice-Based Research Competition, an unique approach to problem solving.
The journal has currently two open calls for papers for Special Issues: Smart Operations, Smart Cities, due October 1, 2019, and Operations and Fintech, due September 1, 2020.
The host for this show is Iuri Gavronski, Associate Professor for the Graduate Program in Business for the UNISINOS Jesuit University.

Editor Bio:
===========
Dr. Christopher S. Tang is Distinguished Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. He holds the Edward W. Carter Chair in Business Administration.
His early research focused on mainstream operations management problems, such as production planning and control, inventory models with yield uncertainties, design and control of flexible manufacturing lines, and capacity configuration problems. Tang expanded his interest and research, working with marketing researchers on production planning and promotion, joint pricing and production decision-making, and advanced booking. He continued his integration with retailing in the exploration of joint operations decisions and assortment planning, consumer shopping behaviors and product pricing.
His research now spans different areas that include global supply chain management, retail operations and social business operations. His current interest focuses on social innovation for developing countries, looking at ways that companies can operate in the environment, doing good and doing well at the same time — “where corporate responsibility, social justice, and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand.”

This is the fifth episode of Listen to the Editors, a series of interviews with journal editors to unveil the trends in research for Operations and Supply Chain Management.
In this episode we are interviewing the co-editors-in-chief for the Journal of Operations Management, Suzanne de Treville and Tyson R. Browning.
We discussed how to integrate research and practice (via design research or interventionist research). According to the editors, if a researcher joins a consulting project and everything goes well, there is no paper. However, if the researcher finds something new, a theory that does not work in the real world, and that novelty can bring insights that advance the knowledge, that paper might interest JOM.
We also discussed the reasons for the 60% of papers that are desk-rejected by JOM. Among other reasons, such as lack of fit, poor methodology, or non-empirical papers, the editors mentioned the lack of “delta”. The delta is what do you learn from the paper. The editors are working harder to provide more feedback to those authors that have papers rejected at this stage.
The editors are also looking into ways to deepen their relationship with ASCM (formerly known as APICS). They are attending the ASCM this year for the first time. They are also willing to receive research proposals for gathering data on the ASCM corporate members and responding to problems that the executives of such firms are interested in.
This is a really long interview, but we believe you might enjoy, if you want to learn where the journal is heading to.
The host for this show is Iuri Gavronski, Associate Professor for the Graduate Program in Business for the UNISINOS Jesuit University.

In this episode we are interviewing the editors of Production and Operations Management (POM) journal. We are joined by Dr. Kalyan Singhal and Dr. Subodha Kumar. Dr. Singhal is the editor-in-chief and Dr. Kumar is the deputy editor-in-chief for POM.
This is the fourth episode of Listen to the Editors, a series of interviews with journal editors to unveil the trends in research for Operations and Supply Chain Management.
The host for this show is Iuri Gavronski, Associate Professor for the Graduate Program in Business for the UNISINOS Jesuit University.
POM, founded in 1992, is one of the longer living journals in the field. The mission of the journal is to publish research in all areas of Operations Management, in all research paradigms, according to Dr. Singhal. POM has 12 issues per year, and publishes around 150 papers in those issues. With 140,000-150,000 submissions per year, POM as a rejection rate of around 90%. According to Dr. Kumar, 70% of the rejections occur up to the first round. Dr. Singhal believes that one of the differentials of the journal is that most research go to the reviewers, so the authors have the opportunity to have a feedback on their manuscript.
The main reasons for desk rejection is lack of fit (a paper that was not written for an Operations audience) or lack of a contribution. Dr. Singhal divides the contribution in two dimensions: a contribution to the theory and the solving of a real problem.
The standard editorial process starts with the editor-in-chief assigning a department editor to the manuscript. In general, this department editor was the one suggested by the authors. Then the department editor assigns a senior editor. If the senior editor does not desk-rejects the paper, he or she assigns two to three reviewers for the manuscript.The senior editor then adds his or her recommendations, and sends for the department editor for the decision.
We also discussed how to integrate analytical and empirical paradigms in a single paper. Dr. Kumar shares his personal experiences as author in this important subject.
In 2017, POM articles were downloaded 300,000 times. Regarding the global reach, the share of downloads was 29% for China, 23% US, 6% UK, 18% others.

This is the 3rd episode of Listen to the Editors, a series of interviews with journal editors to unveil the trends in research for Operations and Supply Chain Management.
In this episode, we are interviewing Cristina Thomsen Gimenez, co-editor in chief for the International Journal of Operations and Production Management (IJOPM). He shares this role with Constantin Blome and Tobias Schoenherr.
Professor Gimenez is Professor, Department of Operations, Innovation and Data Sciences in ESADE Business School. She also serves as the Director of Identity and Mission for ESADE.
The host for this show is Iuri Gavronski, Associate Professor for the Graduate Program in Business for the UNISINOS Jesuit University.
***
We discuss the editorial process for the IJOPM. We also understand the reasons for 70% desk rejection rates at the journal. This is part of the new editorial strategy: having a more stringent process in the desk review and passing on to reviewers only papers with higher chance of publication. Once a paper passes this first round, the rejection rate drops to 30-40%.
According to professor Gimenez, alignment with the mission, methods alien to the readers, and contribution, are the main reasons for desk rejection. She suggests three questions to test contribution: 1) What do we know about this topic? 2) What we don’t know about this topic that this particular paper covers? 3) Why do we need to know this new information?
As for KPIs, the editorial team evaluates yearly impact factors. In the short term, they evaluate citations, downloads, submissions, and quality of submissions. The journal had 600,000 downloads and 9,700 citations in 2018.

This is the 2nd episode of Listen to the Editors, a series of interviews with journal editors to unveil the trends in research for Operations and Supply Chain Management.
In this episode, we are interviewing Mark Pagell, co-editor in chief for the Journal of Supply Chain Management (JSCM). He shares this role with Barbara Flynn and Brian Fugate.
Professor Pagell holds a Chair in Global Leadership and is a Professor of Sustainable Supply Chain Management at the University College Dublin, Business School.
We discuss the editorial process for the JSCM. We also understand the reasons for 93% desk rejection rates at the journal, exploring the main problems in the papers that are rejected. Mark also discusses the main KPI for the journal: downloads. We look at the trend in downloads and at the breakdown by global regions. We also discuss the Emerging Discourse Incubator, a new format for fostering the conversation in papers submitted to Special Issues. Mark also talks about the initiatives of JSCM for publicizing the papers in the journal and increasing their impact.
