Abstract: Abstract Peer review is an established method of assessing the quality and contribution of academic performance in most scientific disciplines. Up to now, little is known about interrater agreement among reviewers in management journals. This paper aims to provide an overview of agreement among the judgments of reviewers in management studies. The results of our literature review indicate a low level of agreement among reviewers in management journals. However, low consensus is not specific to management studies but widely present in other sciences as well. We discuss the consequences and implications of low judgment agreement for management research.
