Tribute to our reviewers: Best Reviewer Awards-An Editorial

摘要

Looking back on 2020, the last year was another successful year for the Journal of Management Control. In 2020, we got 149 submissions. Compared to 2018, this corresponds to a doubling of the number of submissions. The average time between the receipt of the manuscript and the first decision (submission to first decision) is relatively short with 45 days. The editors are convinced that this number should not be lower in order to allow sufficient time for the two-stage review process and for reviewers to make high-quality recommendations and comments to further develop the submitted papers. Our journal is becoming more and more international with corresponding authors coming from 45 different countries in 2020. The first round rejection rate is 76.3%, reflecting the rigor of selection and the high level of our journal's review process.
