Self-Reported Limitations and Future Directions in Scholarly Reports: Analysis and Recommendations

---

The authors content analyzed self-reported limitations and directions for future research in
1,276 articles published between 1982 and 2007 in the Academy of Management Journal,
Administrative Science Quarterly, the Journal of Applied Psychology, the Journal of Management,
and the Strategic Management Journal. In order of frequency, the majority of self-reported
limitations, as well as directions for future research, pertains to threats to internal, external, and
construct validity issues, and there is a significant increase in the reporting of these elements
over time. Longitudinal analyses revealed that some of these increases varied across management
subfields (i.e., business policy and strategy, organizational behavior, organizational theory,
and human resource management), indicating unique research contexts within some
research domains. Based on the analyses of self-reported limitations and future research directions,
the authors offer eight guidelines for authors, reviewers, and editors. These guidelines
refer to the need for authors to report limitations and to use a separate section for them and the
need for reviewers to list limitations in their evaluations of manuscripts; authors and reviewers
should prioritize limitations, and authors should report them in a way that describes their consequences
for the interpretation of results. The guidelines for directions for future research focus
on positioning them as a starting point for future research endeavors and for the advancement
of theoretical issues. The authors also offer recommendations on how to use limitations and
future research directions for the training of researchers. It is hoped that the adoption of these
proposed guidelines and recommendations will maximize their value so that they can serve as
true catalysts for further scientific progress in the field of management.
