The Wellspring presents Organization Science papers from 2022 to 2025 organized into distinct research streams. We also feature select emergent papers from other journals with the goal to provide a dynamic knowledge base spotlighting the newest advances in theory and evidence. The canon of our field should be ever-changing, advancing theory and policy rather than simply enshrining the best work of yesterday. We hope you’ll read and cite these newer works and the advances, updates, and even corrections they proffer, as well as use them to update your doctoral readings to represent the state of the art in organizational research.
