JIBS is the flagship journal of the Academy of International Business (AIB) and the premier outlet for international business research. Its defining requirement is that the international or cross-border dimension be central, not incidental: multinational enterprises, foreign direct investment, cross-national distance, global strategy, internationalization, and institutions across countries. JIBS is multidisciplinary — strategy, economics, finance, organizational behavior, marketing, and political science all appear — but the contribution must advance IB theory and turn on the international element. The audience is IB scholars across disciplines, so a single-country or domestic study with a token "international" label will not pass.
This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the AIB / JIBS / Palgrave–Springer site and the submission system.

npx claudepluginhub brycewang-stanford/awesome-journal-skills --plugin english-socsci-journal-skillsAssesses whether a strategy manuscript fits the Strategic Management Journal and provides re-framing guidance, desk-reject heuristics, and alternative venue suggestions.
Validates whether a research question fits JIBS by testing cross-border phenomenon, country/culture level of analysis, IB theory contribution, and cross-national variation. Routes to alternative journals when JIBS is not the right venue.
Creates bite-sized, testable implementation plans from specs or requirements, with file structure and task decomposition. Activates before coding multi-step tasks.
