The Evolution Starts Now: insights from the AOM annual meeting You say you want a RevolutionWell, you knowWe all wanna change the world Revolution 1, The Beatles Attending the Academy of Management conference this week in Copenhagen was disorienting in so many ways. It’s a traditionally US-based conference hosted in one of the most stereotypical European cities in the region; it was hosting some of the world’s best management brains, but was a chaotic mess of changing rooms, times and presenters; much of the talk was of AI and the impact of technology, and yet over 13,000 people were congregating in a single location to hear papers they could have read or viewed online.

Evolution is underway in business research. Reporting from #AOM2025 in Copenhagen, we explore shifting journal priorities, geopolitical risks, and why staying true to purpose matters more than ever.

Is there a strain on peer review? – It’s more complicated than you think - Impact of Social Sciences The significant growth of academic publishing in recent years has led some to argue the system is reaching a breaking point, but is it this simple?

Guest Post: Gatekeepers of Meaning — Peer Review, AI, and the Fight for Human Attention - The Scholarly Kitchen Guest blogger, Ashutosh Ghildiyal, asks: Is AI for us, or are we for AI? In the all-important context of peer review, can we leverage AI to amplify human thought rather than replace us?

GATEKEEPERS OF MEANING: #PeerReview, #AI, and the Fight for Human Attention scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/07/17/g... via @Scholarlykitchen.bsky.social #Publishing "[I]nstead of asking how [AI] can complement or elevate human effort, we rush to see where it can outperform people."

Full-Court Press Scholarly communications as an industry is nothing if not symbiotic. Publishers, authors, institutions, and information providers are part of a dynamic web, constantly adding complex structures to an already labyrinthine universe of academic endeavor. As a result, those actors operating from within these interconnected systems need to behave – or at least they should behave – in such a way that they are able to trust each other. 

Cabells is adding advisory notices to journals flagged for integrity issues—like those with JIF's recently suppressed by Web of Science—to help researchers navigate publishing decisions with clarity and confidence. Read our latest blog to learn more. #ResearchIntegrity #AcademicPublishing

Have Business Schools Found Their Way Back Yet? Twenty years ago, almost to the day, an article was published in the Harvard Business Review that, at the time, sent shockwaves throughout the business school world. Rarely has the phrase ‘Emperor’s new clothes’ been used so aptly, as you could almost hear the hiss around campuses as inflated reputations suddenly lost their status. Written by Warren Bennis and Jim O’Toole, both distinguished business school professors in their own right, their article was titled ‘

Bennis & O’Toole’s iconic "How Business Schools Lost Their Way" sparked a reckoning in 2005. Two decades later, we reflect on the progress made and how we can ensure business research stays both rigorous and relevant. #BusinessEducation #ResearchImpact #HigherEd
