``Circle the Wagons and Defend the Faith''
作者回应了对他们关于管理学科科学成就与编委会成员研究的评论，坚持其警示性结论，并希望引发的认知失调能促使学术期刊及其赞助机构采取行动。
Commentators expressed contrasting views on the authors' examination of scientific achievement and editorial board membership in the management discipline. In response, the authors address key points with which they disagree and hold fast to their admonitory conclusions, neither compromising nor retreating from the recounting of base facts. If the authors' conclusions have prompted a measure of cognitive dissonance, they hope that any associated discomfort will lead to action on the part of all of the discipline's journals and their sponsoring organizations.
