The “Revue Internationale de Psychosociologie et de Gestion des Comportements Organisationnels” (RIPCO), International Journal of Psychosociology and Management of Organizational Behaviors, was created in 1994 by Gilles Amado and Eugène Enriquez who were appointed the firsts Editors-in-Chief, and by Serge Kebabtchieff, CEO of Eska Editions. It used to be called “Revue Internationale de Psychosociologie”, International Journal of Psychosociology.
RIPCO is become the first French and English language journal mostly dedicated to the field of organizational behavior. Since its creation, it has published more than 900 articles. In 2008, it won the ADVANCIA CCIP Award (Paris). The journal is currently referenced in the following academic French rankings: HARZING (since 2010), FNEGE (since 2011), AERES (2012), and confirmed by HCERES (2015) and CNRS (2019). RIPCO is also referenced in the following databases: CAIRN, CAIRN International, Google Scholar, ProQuest Social Science Database, ProQuest Sociology Database, and ProQuest Social Science Premium Collection.
In 2005, a new editorial team oriented the work towards organizational behavior to include the study of behaviors relating to the individual, the dyad, the group and the organization. This set integrates both the study of behavior within organizations and the behavior of organizations. In this perspective, since 2011, the name of the journal has evolved into the Revue Internationale de Psychosociologie et de la Gestion des Comportements Organisationnels (International Journal of Psychosociology and Management of Organizational Behaviors).
Since the beginning of 2019, the new editorial team has made major changes in order to increase the scientific quality of the journal, to internationalize it and to make all procedures related to its operation fully transparent. From the outset, the work of the editorial team has been guided by the observations made by Section 37 of the CNRS in previous evaluations. It was recommended to make the submission process more open, to ensure diversity and transparency of submitted articles, to reduce thematic issues and to establish clear ethical rules. In compliance with these recommendations, the team has succeeded in making RIPCO an academic journal of high scientific quality, open, fully transparent, modernized and very committed to the international scene. |
