Abstract

This issue comprises the third International Review of Industrial and Organizational Psychology (IRIOP) Annual Review Issue, following the incorporation of IRIOP into the Journal of Organizational Behavior (JOB). In this editorial, we elaborate further on our vision to maintain the IRIOP Annual Review Issue as the leading outlet for the publication of critical, state-of-the-art overviews and commentary on established knowledge and developments at the forefront of the field. In so doing, we highlight several common mistakes and misconceptions that characterize rejected manuscript proposals and rejected full-length manuscripts and reiterate the distinctive features that characterize the sorts of contributions that we are looking to publish, exemplified by the five papers appearing in this third issue.
