Academy of Management Review Manuscript Assistant
Evaluates conceptual management manuscripts for Academy of Management Review (AMR) fit, theoretical rigor, and desk-reject risks.
The Academy of Management Review skill helps academic researchers evaluate whether a management or organizational research paper fits AMR's rigorous pure-theory standard. It systematically checks for pure conceptual novelty, logical proposition structure, construct clarity, and absence of inappropriate empirical sections, while flagging common desk-reject pitfalls. Additionally, the skill guides authors through submission checklists and suggests alternate top-tier journals (such as AMJ, AMA, or Organization Science) when manuscripts need empirical backing or literature synthesis.
