AMJ Topic Selection assists academic researchers in scoping, vetting, and pressure-testing research questions specifically for submission to the Academy of Management Journal (AMJ). It ensures that initial concepts go beyond naive gap-spotting by evaluating four core criteria: phenomenon grounding, theoretical mechanism, empirical feasibility, and conceptual tension. By mapping constructs to the appropriate AOM divisional homes (such as Micro/OB, Macro/Strategy, HR, Entrepreneurship, or OMT) and distinguishing AMJ fit from alternatives like AMR, ASQ, and SMJ, this skill helps scholars avoid non-starter ideas before investing significant time in data collection.
