JOURNAL OF OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
Author Guidelines
The mission of the Journal of Operations Management (JOM) is to publish original, empirical, operations management (OM) research that demonstrates both academic and practical relevance.
Academic relevance means the research contributes to ongoing academic discussions and debates on relevant topics in OM. Usually this implies that manuscript has a strong grounding in—and its results make a contribution to—theory. All manuscripts published in JOM must, in one way or another, also transcend the immediate empirical context in which the research is embedded. An ideal manuscript is one that simultaneously takes the context seriously (is empirically disciplined) and seeks some sense of generality.
Practical relevance means the manuscript links explicitly to an actual, relevant, managerial challenge. While manuscripts published in JOM do not necessarily have to give advice to managers, they must have something non-obvious to say about the practice of OM. In preparing your manuscript, ask yourself: Do I think I could keep a manager interested in talking about my research for an hour? What would I say? What would I argue?
An ideal manuscript balances rigor with relevance and offers a novel aspect to a topic of contemporary concern. Novelty does not necessarily mean focusing on emerging phenomena: Novel approaches to examinations of established phenomena are equally interesting and relevant.
Manuscripts submitted to JOM must:
Use empirical research methods. JOM does not publish purely analytical models or optimization techniques: These belong in operations research, industrial engineering, or analytical OM journals. Science can be defined as learning from observation: It is the observation that renders the research empirical. As you prepare your manuscript, describe precisely what has been observed and what is learned from it.
Be well grounded in the scholarly literature, including the appropriate OM iterature.
Be appropriately grounded in theory. Join the ongoing conversation about the topic using accepted concepts, frameworks, and terminology.
Be appropriately grounded in empirical observations that provide warranty that the question is worth asking.
Use rigorous methodology and explain this methodology clearly and transparently.
Offer novel and interesting insights which are (at least) likely to stimulate future research that will substantially change OM theory and/or practice.
Focus on decisions pertinent to operations managers and/or those who set public policy that affects OM in non-obvious ways. Cross-disciplinary research is welcome, but OM must be the primary focus.
Cite all sources supporting the research.
Use quotation marks or otherwise indicate clearly any strings of words drawn from other sources. Pre-check your manuscript with plagiarism detection software (e.g., Turnitin.com) prior to submitting it to JOM. In most cases, no other single source should account for more than 1% of the wording in your manuscript, unless those words are in quotation marks or otherwise clearly delineated as not your own. If a manuscript’s overall similarity score is greater than 15%, then you must explain the reason for this in your cover letter. Otherwise, the manuscript will be returned to you for similarity reduction before it can enter the evaluation process.
Submission
Once the submission materials have been prepared in accordance with the below guidelines, manuscripts should be submitted online at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/joom

For help with submissions, please contact: jom@ascm-jom.org.
Formatting
Please ensure the text of your paper is double-spaced and in a single colum. This is an essential, peer-review requirement.
All manuscripts must contain the essential elements needed to convey your research, such as Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Literature Review, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusions. Divide the article into clearly defined sections. Twelve-point font and one-inch margins are typically expected. Number the pages of your manuscript. Do not include any other running headers or footers. Footnotes are allowed but should be kept to a minimum.
The manuscript should be submitted in separate files: (1) title page with author contact information and (2) anonymized manuscript.
The title page should contain:
Manuscript full title, without any abbreviations (see Wiley's best practice SEO tips)
A short running title (less than 40 characters)
The full names of the authors
Each author's institutional affiliations where the work was conducted, with a footnote for the author's present address if different from where the work was conducted
Acknowledgments of contributions (from anyone who does not meet the criteria for authorship) and all funding sources
As manuscripts are double-blind peer reviewed, the manuscript should not include any information that might identify the authors. The manuscript should be presented in the following order:
Title, abstract, and keywords
Main text, with tables and figures included at the point of reference (not at the end)
References
Appendices (if relevant)
Supporting information, if submitted, should be supplied as separate files. If your article includes any Videos and/or other Supplementary material, these should be included in your initial submission for peer review purposes.
Please ensure that the figures and tables are included in the manuscript and placed next to the relevant text, not at the end of the manuscript. The corresponding caption should be placed directly below the figure or above the table.
