《國際組織審查》公布了在整個政治經濟領域的原始科學貢獻，重點關注世界貿易組織、世界銀行、北約、世衛組織、歐洲人權法院和聯合國等國際組織的政策和結構。該期刊包括基于現代經濟、政治經濟和國際關系理論的研究，采用定量或定性方法。理論上，論文應該提出一個新的理論，并對這一理論進行嚴格的實證檢驗，但力拓允許兩者進行權衡。里約有一個評論區，邀請對國際組織和其他地方的評論文章發表評論。特別鼓勵復制。力拓的目標是迅速扭轉局面。2015年，從收到稿件到第一次決定的平均天數為29天，不包括書桌拒絕和特殊問題，最長時間為86天。RIO在發表之前檢查了實證論文的數據和程序文件。

The Review of International Organizations publishes original scientific contributions in the entire field of political economy, with a focus on the policies and structure of international organizations, such as the WTO, World Bank, NATO, WHO, the European Court of Human Rights, and the UN. The journal includes studies based on modern economic, political economic, and international relations theories, using quantitative or qualitative methods. Papers should ideally put forward a new theory and provide a rigorous empirical test of this theory, but the RIO allows for a trade-off between the two.The RIO features a comment section where it invites comments to articles published in the Review of International Organizations and elsewhere. Replication is particularly encouraged.The RIO aims for a quick turnaround. In 2015, the average number of days between the date the manuscript was received and the first decision was 29 days, excluding desk rejections and special issues, while the maximum time was 86 days. The RIO checks data and program files of empirical papers prior to publication.
