Who Complains to Journal Editors and What Happens*

Abstract

Authors' professional status, subfields within sociology, types of analysis, and sources of data were compared between two categories of manuscripts submitted to three editors of the American Sociological Review: those manuscripts about which authors complained and those randomly selected. Thirteen percent of the authors who complained succeeded in having the decision reversed and their manuscripts accepted for publication.
