Editorial Policies

Authors interested in publishing articles or symposia in Academy of Management Perspectives must submit a short proposal outlining their project. The editorial team will provide feedback and give a determination of the appropriateness of the project proposal for further consideration.

Authors should review the Proposal Guidelines as these are meant to facilitate the review process. Guildlines for submitting proposals can be found on the website. If the proposal is accepted the author(s) will be invited to submit their article(s) for review. Note that acceptance of a proposal does not guarantee that the final article(s) will be accepted as these will be subject to a double-blind review process and evaluated on their merits. Full text manuscripts should be formatted as Word files, double-spaced, and no more than 30 pages in length, including figures. Authors should supply a separate cover sheet with the names and complete contact information for the primary author and any co-authors. Author names should not appear elsewhere in the manuscript.

AMP strictly adher to the APA Style Guide (5^th edition). All manuscripts should be prepared using this manual. A manual can be purchased from the American Psychological Association's web site: http://www.apastyle.org.
