Judging from the outpouring of positive feedback we’ve received, the Organizational Scientist is a resounding success. But we’re not getting complacent. We’re continuing to brainstorm and find new ways to improve this communication outlet to better serve both the internal Organizational Science community and its external friends and visitors.
For those of you still getting acclimated to this newsletter’s format, I encourage you to read this article for an explanation of its key features. Additionally, we have two new features in this edition.
- In the feature story on Jane Ma, you’ll see that we have included an embedded video. This is a feature that’s available expressly because of the newsletter’s online format, and we hope you enjoy it. We plan to incorporate more multimedia in future posts.
- You’ll notice a box on the right side of the page with the heading “Subscribe via e-mail.” I highly encourage all readers to type their e-mail address into the text field and click “subscribe.” You’ll then receive a confirmation e-mail, and once you activate your subscription, you’ll receive any updates to the Organizational Scientist in your e-mail. Please note that these updates will only occur when new material is posted and should never occur more than once a day (even if we posted 17 new articles every day, which we don’t).
Finally, two plans for the future are worth noting.
- It’s time to assemble a core team of writers for the next academic year. If you’d like to participate or have any questions about what that entails, please e-mail Daniel Bonilla, who will be next year’s editor-in-chief, at organizationalscientist@gmail.com.
- News happens regardless of publishing schedules. We deliberately chose to begin the Organizational Scientist as a periodic online publication, with all fresh content being delivered in large batches—much like a traditional newsletter. Now that we’re up and running with a dedicated editorial team, we are considering more frequent postings that are closer in time to when news occurs. Therefore, you may notice more frequent posts starting later this semester. This is yet another reason why you should strongly consider subscribing to the newsletter via e-mail as described above, as then you’ll know when new content is available.
Please thank the members of the editorial staff—Marisa Adelman, Joe Allen, Ashley Andrew, Daniel Bonilla, and Kate Frear—for their hard work when you have a chance, and I hope you enjoy this issue.
Cheers,
Ben Baran
