Editor's Comments: Publishing Theory

This article presents an editorial expressing some observations on the theory publishing process in the hope of reducing the mystery surrounding theory development and publication. Theory papers succeed if they offer important and original ideas. The route to good theory leads not through gaps in the literature but through an engagement with problems in the world that you find personally interesting. The author offers some cautions for writers.
