jom-contribution-framingUse when articulating the theoretical and practical contribution of a Journal of Operations Management (JOM) manuscript — stating what new OM theory the study delivers, why operations is central to the contribution, and what it means for operations managers, in the intro and discussion.
jom-data-analysisUse when running and reporting the statistical analysis for a Journal of Operations Management (JOM) empirical manuscript — measurement validity for survey constructs, identification and endogeneity for archival operations data, manipulation checks for behavioral-OM experiments, and robustness. Exec
jom-literature-positioningUse when positioning a Journal of Operations Management (JOM) manuscript within the operations and supply chain management conversation — joining a live OM/SCM debate, distinguishing the paper from analytical OM work, and aligning the framing with the target Department's mission.

jom-tables-figuresUse when building or cleaning the exhibits for a Journal of Operations Management (JOM) empirical manuscript — correlation/descriptive tables, regression/SEM result tables, interaction plots, process/intervention figures — in APA-consistent, self-explanatory house style.
jom-theory-developmentUse when building the theoretical argument and hypotheses for a Journal of Operations Management (JOM) empirical study — deriving operations/behavioral mechanisms a priori, borrowing and adapting reference theory to an OM phenomenon, and specifying mediation/moderation so they are testable against o
jom-topic-selectionUse when shaping or screening a research question for the Journal of Operations Management (JOM) — testing whether operations is genuinely at the heart of the question, whether the work can be empirical, and which of JOM's 12 Departments should route it (vs. analytical OM venues like M&SOM / Managem
jom-workflowUse when deciding which jom-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Journal of Operations Management (JOM) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
jom-writing-styleUse when drafting or polishing prose for a Journal of Operations Management (JOM) empirical manuscript — front-loading the operations argument, writing for both academics and practitioners, keeping APA house style, and meeting JOM's length, formatting, and text-overlap rules.
