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
