This guide instructs authors on how to strategically position their research manuscript within the established body of Operations Management (OM) literature. Instead of claiming an unstudied 'void,' the focus is on joining and advancing specific 'operational conversations' within canonical OM streams (e.g., queueing, supply chain, revenue management). It emphasizes differentiating contributions based on novel operational mechanisms or decision levers, ensuring the paper's fit is clear to expert reviewers and editors.

A comprehensive guide for researchers writing about Manufacturing and Service Operations Management (M&SOM). It mandates that the method chosen must be dictated by the core operational decision. Provides detailed frameworks for both the analytical lane (e.g., stochastic optimization, queueing theory, game theory) and the empirical/causal lane (e.g., Difference-in-Differences, Instrumental Variables), ensuring the research delivers actionable operational insights.

A comprehensive, step-by-step checklist designed for authors preparing manuscripts for submission to Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM). It covers crucial elements including double-anonymous anonymization, strict formatting rules (32-page cap, structured abstract), proper departmental routing, and data/code disclosure requirements, ensuring readiness for the scholarOne portal submission.

A comprehensive guide for structuring and presenting complex analytical and empirical results for Operations Management journals (M&SOM). It emphasizes strict formatting rules, adhering to a hard page limit, and ensuring that all exhibits are self-contained and immediately convey the core insight (e.g., plotting policy structures, highlighting operational magnitudes, and using automated tools for generation).

A guide for developing rigorous analytical or stochastic models for Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM). It emphasizes translating operational decisions, objectives, and uncertainties into explicit structural results, such as policy forms (e.g., order-up-to levels) and comparative statics, ensuring the core insight remains operational rather than merely descriptive.

This guide provides a critical framework for academic authorship targeting top-tier Operations Management journals. It instructs researchers on how to centralize the operational decision, select the appropriate analytical or empirical 'lane,' and correctly map the research question to a specific editorial department, ensuring the work meets the journal's core scope before any modeling or data analysis begins.

This guide serves as a comprehensive router for developing an Operations Management manuscript intended for M&SOM. It outlines the entire academic writing lifecycle, from initial topic selection and theoretical development through data analysis, contribution framing, writing style refinement, and final submission/rebuttal. It ensures that the core operations decision remains central to the contribution.

Provides rigorous guidelines for structuring and writing high-quality academic literature reviews, specifically tailored for journals like Management World. It mandates a unique three-layer dialogue structure (international context, local Chinese research, and original contribution), addressing issues like language source imbalance or lack of scholarly dialogue. Covers precise ratios for Chinese and English sources, and integration with national policy narratives.

A detailed guide for authors submitting to top-tier management journals, focusing on responding to reviewer comments (R&R). It provides a structured methodology for drafting point-by-point rebuttal letters, ensuring alignment between the revised manuscript and the written response. The guide emphasizes prioritizing text revision, strengthening identification, mechanism, and policy implications.

A comprehensive preflight checklist designed for authors submitting manuscripts to top-tier academic journals, such as Management World. It guides users through critical checks on formatting, double-blind compliance, reference standards, word count, and required supplementary materials. Use this guide to ensure your paper meets strict technical requirements and avoid early rejection during the initial review phase.

This router provides a structured workflow guide for writing and revising academic manuscripts, specifically tailored for top-tier journals like Management World. It helps users determine the next critical step—from topic selection and literature review to causal identification and policy implication—ensuring a cohesive and strategically sound paper structure.

This comprehensive guide provides a structured project management workflow for academic research targeting the NAACL conference. It addresses the unique challenge of NAACL's irregular calendar (skipped years) by providing a detailed backward planning timeline, managing milestones (data freeze, paper freeze, ARR upload), and implementing a critical decision tree for committing, waiting, or rerouting submissions when conference windows shift.
