“…Journals with a high JIF are cited more than publications in lower or unranked journals. These bibliometric impact measures are easily available and quantifiable, making them the primary measure of research excellence (Aguinis et al 2014;Smith, Crookes, and Crookes 2013;Wiek et al 2014).…”

“…Furthermore, bibliometric indices do not measure the societal benefits of research, which involve more complex, dynamic, and indirect processes (Aguinis et al 2014;Van Raan 2005). Societal benefits of research occur over time and are assessed from the perspective of the interests of different constituencies (Morton 2015).…”

“…The Relational Engagement Approach: Increasing Research's Societal Benefit Societal benefit assessment is an emerging research priority with no clear consensus on best practices (Aguinis et al 2014). The impact of research on society occurs over time and is a complex and indirect process with multidirectional influences (Morton 2015).…”

Marketing and policy researchers aiming to increase the societal impact of their scholarship should engage directly with relevant stakeholders. For maximum societal effect, this engagement needs to occur both within the research process and throughout the complex process of knowledge transfer. The authors propose that a relational engagement approach to research impact complements and builds on traditional approaches. Traditional approaches to impact employ bibliometric measures and focus on the creation and use of journal articles by scholarly audiences, an important but incomplete part of the academic process. The authors recommend expanding the strategies and measures of impact to include process assessments for specific stakeholders across the entire course of impact, from the creation, awareness, and use of knowledge to societal impact. This relational engagement approach involves the cocreation of research with audiences beyond academia. The authors hope to begin a dialogue on the strategies researchers can use to increase the potential societal benefits of their research.

“…This future remains informed by JMI's mission, which continues to sustain the journal. JMI Although the current academic environment (Aguinis, Shapiro, Antonacopoulou, & Cummings, 2014;Alvesson & Sandberg, 2013;Macdonald, 2014) might dictate that wethe editorial board members, the associate editors, and editors-focus on ensuring JMI is a citable journal, we remain dedicated to an excitingly written, relevant, and freeing journal. For us, that JMI is readable and irresistible remains our primary motivation.…”

Journal of Management Inquiry (JMI) is in the midst of publishing its 25th volume-a milestone for a journal with the stated goal to be "Not just another journal!!!" 1 The "Not just another journal!!!" declaration is one of the many descriptors from the Self-Concept document (see Table 1) dated July 1990. Anyone familiar with JMI will immediately appreciate how much the Self-Concept informed the journal at its founding, and will be pleased with how much it continues to do so today. As documents, papers, and books sometimes inexplicably do, the Self-Concept document appeared at the most opportune moment after being hidden in the Western Academy of Management (WAM) files for at least 15 years.Embedded in the JMI DNA is a drive to remain "distinctive from other, mainstream journals" (Phillips & Trank, 2014, p. 3). Over the past 25 years, JMI has pushed the envelope in its continuing endeavor to be scholarly, catalytic, eclectic, and groundbreaking. As founding editors Tom Cummings and Alan Glassman (1992) have noted, there is a commitment to "inquisitive, provocative, and exploratory scholarship on a wide range of innovative research and practice" (p. 3) where it should be possible to embrace rigor and messiness simultaneously (Glassman & Cummings, 2011).If, in fact, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then the founders and all who have sustained JMI should be thrilled as other journals have copied elements introduced or championed by JMI. Yet, the founders, past editors, and other friends of JMI would never expect JMI to rest on its laurels, which begs the following question: What next for JMI?

“…Systematic capitalization on chance occurs when a researcher searches for a maximally predictive statistical model based on a particular dataset, and it typically involves several trial-and-error steps that are rarely disclosed in published articles. Currently, there is tremendous pressure to publish in the so-called top journals because the number of such publications has an important impact on faculty performance evaluations and rewards, including promotion and tenure decisions (Aguinis, Shapiro, Antonacopoulou, & Cummings, 2014;Butler, Delaney, & Spoelstra, 2017;Nosek, Spies, & Motyl, 2012). Thus researchers are strongly motivated to produce manuscripts that are more likely to be accepted for publication.…”

Science’s reproducibility and replicability crisis: International business is not immune

International business is not immune to science's reproducibility and replicability crisis. We argue that this crisis is not entirely surprising given the methodological practices that enhance systematic capitalization on chance. This occurs when researchers search for a maximally predictive statistical model based on a particular dataset and engage in several trial-and-error steps that are rarely disclosed in published articles. We describe systematic capitalization on chance, distinguish it from unsystematic capitalization on chance, address five common practices that capitalize on chance, and offer actionable strategies to minimize the capitalization on chance and improve the reproducibility and replicability of future IB research.
