The Organization Development Journal is a double-blind, peer-reviewed journal that serves both scholars and practitioners. We use APA 7 as the format for manuscripts
We care about practice, and the manuscript should address practice in both the abstract and the discussion. You may submit an article at any time to the following:
The publication process involves Joanne, as Editor-in-Chief, reviewing submitted papers to ensure they meet the Author's Guidelines, the journal's content requirements, and APA7 requirements.
Once you have successfully passed that, your article then undergoes an AI and plagiarism check, which the Peer Review Committee conducts.
Once an article is passed for AI and Plagiarism check, authors will correspond with the Peer-review Editor at:
Once that step is completed, it is sent out for double-blind peer review. You may or may not receive corrections that you need to make. The peer-review process is completed more quickly if authors revise their work according to the suggestions made by reviewers and any other written guidelines.
After acceptance, the manuscript undergoes one final check to ensure it is publication-ready, so additional requests may be made of the author.
It is a straightforward procedure that is facilitated by authors following directions both at first submission and through the process of publication. USE THE GUIDELINES AS A CHECKLIST.
