What it does

Jmgmt Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when scoping the question and choosing the article type for a Journal of Management (JOM) manuscript — empirical vs. meta-analysis vs. systematic review, and which management subfield it speaks to. Locks fit; it does not build the theory (jmgmt-theory-development) or design the study (jmgmt-methods).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Literature review. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Scoping the question and choosing the article type for a Journal of Management (JOM) manuscript — empirical vs
  • Tasks that involve Literature review

Example prompts

  • “/jmgmt-topic-selection”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Jmgmt Topic Selection loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 902 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

description
Use when scoping the question and choosing the article type for a Journal of Management (JOM) manuscript — empirical vs. meta-analysis vs. systematic review, and which management subfield it speaks to. Locks fit; it does not build the theory (jmgmt-theory-development) or design the study (jmgmt-methods).

Topic Selection & Fit (jmgmt-topic-selection)

When to trigger

  • You have a phenomenon but are unsure it reads as a general-management contribution rather than a niche subfield piece
  • You cannot decide whether to write an empirical study, a meta-analysis, or a systematic review for a Review Issue
  • The paper could plausibly go to AMJ, SMJ, JMS, or Org Science and you need to know whether JOM is the right home
  • A coauthor asks "would JOM desk-reject this?"

What JOM is looking for

JOM is the Southern Management Association's general-management flagship (SAGE). Its center of gravity is a theoretical contribution that travels across management — organizational behavior, HR, strategic management, entrepreneurship, and research methods, plus related I/O psychology. A paper earns its place when a reader in a different management subfield still cares about the mechanism. The desk filter is the same one AMJ uses — empirical contribution, theoretical contribution, and a phenomenon that matters — but JOM has one extra door most siblings lack: it actively publishes stand-alone reviews and meta-analyses as flagship contributions (biannual Review Issues, January and July). Choosing the right door is half of topic selection here.

Choosing the article type

You have...Best JOM routeWhat makes it work here
A novel mechanism + original dataEmpirical paperA priori theory, clean construct logic, design that licenses the causal claim
A mature literature with conflicting effect sizesMeta-analysisArtifact-corrected synthesis that adjudicates theory, not just averages r's; moderators tied to theory
A fragmented or fast-growing literature needing structureSystematic / narrative review (Review Issue)An organizing framework + a genuinely forward research agenda, not an annotated bibliography
A construct that is muddled or proliferatingConstruct-clarification / conceptual paperDefinition, dimensionality, nomological net, and why the field needs it

If you have data but the literature is too thin for a meta-analysis and too unsettled for a review, that is a signal the empirical paper must itself do the integrating — build the theory in jmgmt-theory-development.

Sibling boundary (where JOM differs)

  • AMJ — the Academy of Management's empirical flagship; very similar bar, but AMJ does not run JOM's dedicated review/meta-analysis program. A strong systematic review usually fits JOM better.
  • SMJ — strategy/competitive-advantage/firm-performance only; a micro OB/HR paper does not belong there.
  • JMS (Wiley, European) — more pluralist, more receptive to qualitative and critical/process work; JOM skews toward hypothetico-deductive and quantitative synthesis.
  • Organization Science — prizes novel organization theory and methodological daring; JOM prizes a clean, well-identified test of management theory.

Sizing the question against the 50-page wall

JOM's 50-page limit includes everything — text, notes, references, tables, and figures (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准). A sprawling multi-study program or a 200-effect meta-analysis must be scoped so the core contribution fits; supplementary material lives in an online appendix. Decide at topic-selection time what the paper is not about.

Worked example (illustrative)

A team has three studies on team psychological safety: a field survey, a lab experiment, and an archival panel. Pitched as "everything we know about psychological safety," it is unfocused, over-long, and reads as parochial OB. Re-scoped at topic-selection: the cross-cutting question is whether safety's effect on performance is a within-team mechanism (OB) or a structural one that scales to the firm (strategy). Now the field survey and the experiment establish the micro mechanism, the archival panel tests whether it aggregates, and the contribution travels across subfields — a clean JOM fit that fits 50 pages with the third study's robustness in a supplement. The lesson: choose the question that makes a single-subfield study speak to general management.

Quick self-test before committing

Ask three questions before leaving topic-selection: (1) Could a strategy scholar and an OB scholar both see why this matters? If only one can, the contribution may be too narrow. (2) Is the literature mature enough that the right move is synthesis rather than a new study? If so, route to the meta-analysis/review door. (3) Will the core contribution survive being cut to 50 inclusive pages? If not, narrow the question now, before design.

When the answer is "not JOM"

Topic-selection should sometimes route the paper away from JOM. A pure firm-performance/competitive-advantage study with no broader management mechanism belongs at SMJ. A qualitative process study built on rich interview data, or a critical/reflexive piece, often lands better at JMS or Organization Science. A paper whose only contribution is methodological refinement with no substantive management question may fit a methods outlet (e.g., Organizational Research Methods). Naming the better home early saves a year of review; if JOM truly is the fit, say in one sentence why — usually because the contribution is general-management theory backed by quantitative evidence or synthesis.

Checklist

  • The contribution is general-management, not parochial — a non-specialist reader cares about the mechanism
  • The article type (empirical / meta-analysis / review) is chosen deliberately, with reasons
  • JOM is the right home vs. AMJ/SMJ/JMS/Org Science (one-sentence reason)
  • If a meta-analysis or review: the literature is mature/large enough to synthesize and to advance theory
  • The scope fits the 50-page (inclusive) limit; out-of-scope material is parked for an appendix
  • Process facts cited are in resources/official-source-map.md or marked 待核实

Anti-patterns

  • Pitching a single-subfield curiosity as if it were general management
  • Defaulting to an empirical paper when the literature is actually begging for a meta-analysis (or vice versa)
  • A "review" that catalogues papers without an organizing framework or a forward agenda — JOM reviewers reject these on sight
  • Treating JOM as a consolation venue for an AMJ reject without re-positioning the contribution
  • Designing a study too large to ever fit 50 inclusive pages
