brycewang-stanford/amj-submission

NewSkillScoreMaintained

Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for an Academy of Management Journal (AMJ) manuscript — ScholarOne portal, anonymization for double-blind review, AOM house-style formatting, files, and ethics declarations. Checks readiness to submit; it does not handle the post-decision response (amj-rebuttal).

Pre-Submission Preflight (amj-submission)

When to trigger

"We're submitting this week" — the last check before hitting submit
Unsure what ScholarOne requires (anonymized manuscript, title page, cover materials)
Need to confirm double-blind anonymization is complete
Verifying the manuscript matches current AMJ/AOM formatting requirements

> Always re-verify current limits and required files on the official AMJ submission page and the AOM Style Guide before submitting — specifics change. As of 2026-05-30 the verified key specs are below.

Verified AMJ/AOM specs (confirm current values)

Length: full manuscripts have a 40-page maximum for the main body, which includes text, references, and appendices but excludes tables and figures. (AOM uses a page limit, not a word cap.)
Formatting: double-spaced throughout (including references and notes), Times New Roman 12-point, 1-inch margins on all sides, pages numbered consecutively.
Abstract: no more than 200 words.
Keywords: three keywords supplied at submission.
Submission portal: ScholarOne Manuscripts at mc.manuscriptcentral.com/AMJ.
Review: blind review; desk review typically takes ~1-2 weeks, and AMJ targets developmental feedback to authors within roughly 60 days. Authors who submit are expected to reciprocate by reviewing for AMJ when asked.
Style: APA conventions per the AMJ Style Guide for Authors (citations, reference list, headings, tables).
Integrity: manuscripts are screened with iThenticate; no simultaneous submission; any preprint posted online must be removed during the review period.
Fees: AOM charges no submission fee and no author-paid APC. AMJ is subscription-published, and AOM does not support Gold (author-funded) open access; the only open-access route is Green OA (self-archiving), where authors may post the accepted (pre-copyedited) manuscript and the Version of Record may be made open only after a 12-month embargo, at no fee (verified on the AOM open-access page 2026-06-23). Re-verify on the AOM/AMJ open-access page before submission, as policy may change.
AI disclosure: any use of AI tools must be disclosed in the cover letter and the acknowledgements, with confirmation that you have read the AOM AI policy; AI cannot be listed as an author.

Pre-submission checklist

Anonymization (double-blind)

] Manuscript file contains no author names, affiliations, or acknowledgments
] Self-citations are worded neutrally ("prior research (Author, 2020)"), not "our earlier work"
] Acknowledgments, funding, and author bios live on a separate title page, not in the manuscript
] File metadata/properties scrubbed of author identity
] File names contain no author or institution identifiers

Format (verify against the current AOM Style Guide)

] Title page (separate): title, authors, affiliations, contact, acknowledgments, funding
] Abstract ≤ 200 words; three keywords supplied
] AOM/APA-style citations and reference list, alphabetized and complete
] Headings follow the AOM hierarchy; double-spaced, Times New Roman 12-pt, 1-inch margins
] Tables and figures placed/numbered as the portal requires; each self-contained
] Main body ≤ 40 pages (text + references + appendices; tables/figures excluded)

Files for ScholarOne

] Anonymized main document (manuscript + tables + figures, or as the portal specifies)
] Separate title page with all identifying information
] Cover letter to the editor (concise: fit, contribution, not under review elsewhere)
] Any required supplementary/online appendix files
] High-resolution figure files if requested separately

Declarations & ethics

] Human-subjects/IRB approval stated where applicable (separate from anonymized text)
] Data-availability/transparency statement as required by current policy
] No concurrent submission; prior conference/working-paper versions disclosed in the cover letter
] AI use disclosed in the cover letter and acknowledgements per the AOM AI policy (AI is never an author)
] Conflicts of interest and funding disclosed on the title page
] Authorship and contribution roles agreed by all authors

References & consistency

] Every in-text citation appears in the reference list and vice versa
] Canonical theory works for the focal domain are cited (a frequent reviewer check)
] Hypothesis labels, construct names, and table/figure numbers are consistent throughout

ScholarOne operation notes

AMJ submits through ScholarOne Manuscripts at mc.manuscriptcentral.com/AMJ; create/keep your author account and ORCID current.
Select the correct article type and the most fitting division/keywords so the manuscript routes to an appropriate action editor.
You may be asked to suggest qualified, non-conflicted reviewers — propose people in the focal conversation without recent co-authorship.
Upload anonymized files and the title page in the slots the system designates; preview the built PDF before final submission.

Anti-patterns

Submitting with self-identifying language ("in our 2019 study") intact.
Acknowledgments/funding left inside the anonymized manuscript.
Reference list in a non-AOM default style straight from the reference manager.
Missing data-availability/ethics statement, or undisclosed AI use, where the policy requires one.
Inconsistent hypothesis labels or table numbers between text and exhibits.
Letting the main body exceed the 40-page limit by forgetting that references and appendices count toward it.
