This is an interesting check list, but not the only one, to review a paper and if, it attends all the six items, then it has a good chance for publication in a top journal.
In my view as Editor-in-chief of BAR, value adding, advancing knowledge, offering new connections among already known constructs, the practical implications when it applies and clearly demonstrating what is new, these five items make a contribution for a paper able for publication.
But, if the reviewer sees some flaws and room for improvement, remember that revision means to see again, to rethinking the manuscript: do not just surgically insert sentences to answer each comment. It is important that authors see reviewers' feedback as a chance to improve the article as a whole, not only inserting phrases or new citations without really rethinking the opportunity for improvement.
Sometimes this can mean rewriting many things, including or excluding constructs, and so on. Only putting make-up in a text is not enough to follow reviewers' recommendations.
Go beyond that: refine the purpose and research motivation, reconsider arguments, review the evidence from and positioning in literature, reorganize presentation shorten, move, drop and develop text ; reconsider using a different, critical perspective. Why did I choose to go into theoretical contribution in this editorial? The answer relies in factor impact! Like they say: love don't come easy, so doesn't a good factor impact. To improve factor impact we need sound articles, high quality papers that will bring contribution, and for that we need to start with the theoretical side of it.
For that, theoretical contribution must be present in a scientific paper. In analogy with craft practices, they analyzed how knowledge that relies under practical performances such as skill are built and kept through the bodily relation with the making of things in the immediate contact with the world.
In this article it is addressed the question of how organizations become ambidextrous over time, identifying requirements for organizations to become ambidextrous, understanding how ambidexterity may emerge as an organizational property, as well as exploring likely connections of the ambidexterity property and organizing a firm's activities and work.
It was found that path-dependent elements had locked-in the firm, preventing ascension to higher added value positions and keeping the organization in captive global value chain, even when it moved into new markets. The study adopts the case study method of research. The unit of analysis is comprised by the martial arts capoeira and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The research question is related to knowledge transfer from the manufacturer to distributor and the potential improvement in the performance of the last.
We wish you a Happy New year of inspiring interesting research questions that will guide you to great papers for submission on BAR with theoretical contribution! Abrir menu Brasil.
