amj-review-process

separate

Use when you need to understand or set expectations for the Academy of Management Journal (AMJ) editorial and peer-review process — desk review, the developmental multi-round R&R culture, and reading a decision letter. Explains the process and how to read decisions; it does not draft the response letter (amj-rebuttal).

When to use

• calibrate expectations about timeline and decision types
• interpret a decision letter (R&R vs. reject; major vs. minor)
• understand how much weight reviewers vs. the action editor carry
• plan a revision strategy before drafting the response

When not to use

• draft the response letter
