From smj-skills
Routes to the appropriate smj-* sub-skill based on manuscript stage—topic selection, theory, methods, analysis, or submission. Useful for structuring SMJ-targeted paper work.

This is the router. It does not do the work of any specialized skill — it tells you **which smj-* skill to use right now** given where your manuscript stands.
This is the router. It does not do the work of any specialized skill — it tells you which smj- skill to use right now* given where your manuscript stands.
Default assumption: unless you say otherwise, the target is the Strategic Management Journal (SMJ) — the flagship strategy journal published by Wiley for the Strategic Management Society (SMS), founded 1980 and led by four Co-Editors (verify the current roster on the SMS masthead; as of 2026 it includes Benner, Ethiraj, and Gaba). SMJ wants a clear contribution to strategy theory (firm performance, competitive advantage) backed by rigorous, identification-aware empirics. It is highly selective (third-party estimates ~7% acceptance — UNVERIFIED), uses double-blind review, and requires two abstracts (research summary + managerial summary, ≤125 words each), five keywords, and APA references within a ~40-page budget. Generic "management" framing and unaddressed endogeneity are the two fastest paths to rejection. If the paper's engine is entrepreneurship or internationalization, the SMS siblings SEJ or GSJ may fit better than SMJ.
| Current symptom | Next skill |
|---|---|
| Idea is vague; unsure it is a strategy question (performance / advantage) | smj-topic-selection |
| Hypotheses are atheoretical or read as "predictions," not theory | smj-theory-development |
| Lit review is a list; no positioning against the strategy conversation | smj-literature-positioning |
| Design unclear: sample, unit of analysis, measures, identification | smj-methods |
| Performance regression with no endogeneity / reverse-causality fix | smj-data-analysis |
| Reviewers may ask "so what for strategy?"; contribution is thin | smj-contribution-framing |
| Too many tables; exhibits not self-contained; no path/effect figure | smj-tables-figures |
| Prose is jargon-heavy, hedged, or buries the argument | smj-writing-style |
| Ready to submit; need preflight (dual abstracts, 5 keywords, APA, format) | smj-submission |
| Want to understand the review timeline / action-editor process | smj-review-process |
| Received an R&R; need a response strategy and letter | smj-rebuttal |

smj-writing-styleis a late-stage polish. Do not polish prose while the identification strategy or the theoretical contribution is still unsettled.

If the contribution is purely conceptual with no data, use an AMR theory-only stack. SMJ's distinctive bar: the dependent construct should connect to firm performance or competitive advantage, and the empirics must survive an endogeneity interrogation.
