# Academy of Management Journal (academy-of-management-journal) ## Journal positioning AMJ is the empirical flagship of the Academy of Management — the premier outlet for rigorous, theory-driven empirical research on organizations and management. It is the empirical counterpart to AMR (theory) under the same association. AMJ publishes papers that build or extend management theory and test it with strong data; it is not an outlet for atheoretical applied results or pure method papers. The "so what for theory" question dominates review. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the AOM / AMJ site and the submission system. ## When to trigger - The author names AMJ (or the AOM journals / FT50 management elite) as the venue. - An organizational-behavior, strategy, HR, entrepreneurship, or macro-org empirical paper needs to be positioned for a top theory-driven outlet. - An applied or descriptive management paper needs re-framing around a theoretical contribution. - The author needs AMJ's desk-reject risks and a credible AMR / SMJ / Org

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill academy-of-management-journal --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
