Abstract
The peer-review process is a cornerstone of academic scholarship, ensuring the integrity, rigor, and relevance of published research. However, the efficacy of this process is contingent upon the reviewers’ ability to provide constructive and insightful critiques. This paper proposes a holistic framework aimed at equipping reviewers of management journals with a structured approach to evaluating empirical and conceptual research papers. Drawing from established methodologies in academic writing and critical analysis, the framework outlines key dimensions for assessment, including methodological rigor, theoretical contributions, empirical robustness, and conceptual coherence. I t underscores the importance of fostering a developmental review process that enhances research quality and advances knowledge i n t he field of management and organization studies.
