Use when deciding which asq-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for an Administrative Science Quarterly (ASQ) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

My theoretical contribution is established, but my data tables and figures are dense and fail to clearly present the underlying data structure. Which workflow step applies?

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as Administrative Science Quarterly (ASQ) — a top, theory-driven journal in organization theory and the sociology of organizations, founded in 1956 by James D. Thompson (first editor 1956–1973; author of Organizations in Action) and published by SAGE in association with the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University. Its motto: "Dedicated to advancing the understanding of administration through empirical investigation and theoretical analysis." ASQ's hallmark is a deep, often surprising theoretical insight about organizations, delivered with superb craft. It publishes both rigorous quantitative work and rich qualitative/inductive studies (grounded-theory, ethnographic, historical) — method follows the theoretical question. The current Editor is Beth Bechky (UC Davis; term began July 1, 2025, succeeding Christine Beckman and András Tilcsik), an ethnographer of work and occupations — a signal of ASQ's openness to inductive fieldwork. ASQ has no submission fee, is exceptionally selective (reported acceptance ~8%), uses APA references (since January 2025), and is distinctive among management journals for its standing book review section.
| Current symptom | Next skill |
|---|---|
| Idea is interesting but not yet surprising; unsure it fits ASQ | asq-topic-selection |
| Have a phenomenon but no theoretical engine / mechanism | asq-theory-development |
| Lit review reads like a list; not in dialogue with org-theory traditions | asq-literature-positioning |
| Unsure whether design should be qualitative or quantitative; rigor gaps | asq-methods |
| Have data but coding/analysis is opaque; no data-to-theory link | asq-data-analysis |
| Can't state the contribution as a "so-what" for organization theory | asq-contribution-framing |
| Tables/figures are dense or do not show the data structure (qual or quant) | asq-tables-figures |
| Prose is flat, jargon-heavy, or "variance-speak" where process is needed | asq-writing-style |
| Preparing to submit; need a preflight checklist | asq-submission |
| Want to understand ASQ's developmental review before/after submitting | asq-review-process |
| Received an R&R and need to write the response | asq-rebuttal |
