Type II Reviewing Errors and the Search for Exciting Papers.

Author List: Straub, Detmar W.;

MIS Quarterly, 2008, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page v-x.

The author offers opinions on why the publication has what is deemed an overly high rejection rate for submitted manuscripts. He categorizes rejected papers in two types, those found too weak to meet the publications' standards, or those thought worthy in terms of quality by the review board, but were deemed as not making enough of an advance in scholarship to justify publication. Recommendations are made to improve both the review process and the quality of submitted work.
