What it does
Jms Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when scoping or stress-testing whether a research question fits the Journal of Management Studies (JMS) — a phenomenon-grounded management-theory question, quantitative or qualitative. Decides fit and framing direction; it does not build the theory (jms-theory-development) or position the literature (jms-literature-positioning).
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Load testing and Hypothesis generation. 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.

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
Jms Topic Selection loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 606 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- Use when scoping or stress-testing whether a research question fits the Journal of Management Studies (JMS) — a phenomenon-grounded management-theory question, quantitative or qualitative. Decides fit and framing direction; it does not build the theory (jms-theory-development) or position the literature (jms-literature-positioning).
Topic Selection (jms-topic-selection)
When to trigger
- You have a dataset, a field site, or a phenomenon but not yet a question JMS would call a contribution
- The idea feels like "an interesting finding" rather than "a problem in a management conversation"
- You are unsure whether the paper belongs at JMS versus AMJ, Organization Studies, JoM, or SMJ
- A practitioner-relevant phenomenon is in hand but the management-theory angle is missing
- The question could be answered better with qualitative depth than with the quantitative design you defaulted to (or vice versa)
The JMS topic bar
JMS publishes work that engages an organizational or management phenomenon and moves a theoretical conversation about it. Two features distinguish a JMS-fit topic. First, it is phenomenon-rooted: there is a real-world organizational puzzle (a strategic shift, an entrepreneurial process, an institutional tension, a managerial practice) that the paper takes seriously, not just a gap-in-the-literature. Second, it is pluralism-friendly: JMS will reward the question whether you answer it with a structural equation model on survey data, an inductive multi-case study, a longitudinal process narrative, or a critical/interpretive reading — so choose the method the question demands, not the one your sub-field defaults to. The journal's identity is internationally oriented and European-rooted, so context-sensitivity (institutions, national settings, comparative variation) is a strength, not a liability.
Sharpen the question before you commit
Run the question through three filters, in order:
- Phenomenon test — Can you name the organizational puzzle in one sentence that a thoughtful manager would recognise as real? ("Why do acquirers retain target executives who then underperform?" beats "the moderating role of X on Y.")
- Conversation test — Which named theoretical conversation does this move (e.g., dynamic capabilities, institutional logics, attention-based view, entrepreneurial bricolage)? If you cannot name it, you are not yet positioned for JMS.
- Method-fit test — Does the question ask how/why a process unfolds (favour qualitative/process), whether and how much (favour quantitative), or both (multi-method)? Let this choose the design before you sink cost into the wrong one.

Sibling fit table — is this really a JMS question?
| If the question is best described as… | Better-fit venue | JMS-fit reframe |
|---|---|---|
| A purely conceptual theory paper, no data | AMR (theory) | Add a phenomenon or empirical engagement, or pitch a Review/JMS Says |
| US-style hypothetico-deductive, micro-OB, large-N only | AMJ / JoM | Foreground the management-theory contribution and welcome a qualitative complement |
| Process-philosophical, organization-theory-for-its-own-sake | Organization Studies | Anchor in a management/strategy outcome managers care about |
| Strategy with an economics/finance identification core | SMJ | Lead with the organizational mechanism, not the estimator |
| Methods innovation, not a substantive finding | Organizational Research Methods | Use the method in service of a phenomenon contribution |
A topic that survives all three filters and lands in the JMS column is ready to build into theory.
Checklist
- The organizational phenomenon is stated in one concrete sentence
- A named theoretical conversation the paper will move is identified
- Method follows the question (how/why → qualitative/process; how-much → quantitative; both → multi-method)
- The "so what for management theory and practice" is plausible, not yet polished
- The paper is not a better fit for AMR, AMJ, Organization Studies, JoM, or SMJ
- International / contextual variation is treated as an asset where relevant
Anti-patterns
- Gap-spotting without a phenomenon: "no one has studied X in context Y" is not a contribution at JMS
- Method-first framing: choosing a fancy estimator or a trendy qualitative label before knowing what the question needs
- Sibling drift: pitching a pure-theory paper, an econ-identification strategy paper, or a micro-OB-only paper as if JMS were AMR / SMJ / AMJ
- Phenomenon without theory: a vivid case with no conversation it advances — descriptively rich, theoretically empty
- Over-claimed novelty: "first ever" claims a reviewer can refute with two citations
Output format
【Phenomenon】one-sentence organizational puzzle
【Conversation】named theoretical conversation this moves
【Method fit】qualitative/process · quantitative · multi-method — and why
【So-what (draft)】theory + practice implication
【Sibling check】why JMS not AMR/AMJ/OrgStudies/JoM/SMJ
