Eight factors for desk-review rejection at RAUSP's management journal

Despite being covered by several other publications (Ahlstrom, 2012; Linton, 2012; Sun & Linton, 2014; Ferreira & Falaster, 2016), the “one-million-dollar question” remains: How avoid a paper rejection? This issue is a very recurrent – and sometimes, controversial –
theme among scholars and graduate students. Our journal has already called the attention to this matter in a previous editorial (Saes &Hourneaux, 2018). Nevertheless, as we are frequently asked to explain why the papers are rejected so early and at a very rate – actually more than half of the submitted articles – we have decided to return to this subject in this editorial.
