description: Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for a Human Resource Management (Wiley "HRM") manuscript via Wiley ScholarOne — double-blind anonymization, the title-page split, APA style, the data-availability statement, ORCID, and the dual-contribution check the EIC screens on. Final checks; it does not draft content.

# Submission Preflight (hrm-submission)

## When to trigger

- "Submitting tomorrow" — last check before pressing submit on ScholarOne
- Unsure how to anonymize for double-blind review and what goes on the separate title page
- Confirming APA style, the data-availability statement, and ORCID are in order
- Making sure the manuscript will clear the EIC's fit-and-relevance screen, not just the rules

## Process facts (source map refreshed 2026-06; re-confirm on the official Wiley author page)

- *Human Resource Management* is a **Wiley** journal (Online ISSN 1099-050X; Print ISSN 0090-4848). Submission is via Wiley **ScholarOne / Manuscript Central** (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准).
- **Double-blind review:** the manuscript must be **anonymized** (no author names, affiliations, self-identifying citations, or acknowledgments in the main file); author details go on a **separate title page** uploaded as a distinct file (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准).
- **Editorial screen:** the **Editor-in-Chief determines whether a paper meets the quality and relevance bar before it is sent to review** — papers without a clear scholarly advance *and* a practical implication are desk-rejected.
- **References: APA style** (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准).
- **Data sharing:** Wiley's data-availability policy applies; include an appropriate **data-availability statement** (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准).
- **Editorial team:** Co-Editors-in-Chief **Fang Lee Cooke** (Monash) and **Shaun Pichler** (Cal State Fullerton; co-EiC from Jan 2025) (verified 2026-06-22 via Wiley; re-verify before submission as the board rotates).
- **Exact word/abstract limits, article-type list, ORCID requirement, and any APC / open-access options are 待核实** — confirm on the live author-guidelines page before submitting.

## Preflight checklist

### Anonymization & files (double-blind)
- [ ] Main manuscript fully anonymized: no names, affiliations, funding/acknowledgments, or revealing self-citations ("as we showed (Author, 2021)")
- [ ] Separate **title page** file with all authors, affiliations, ORCIDs, corresponding-author contact
- [ ] File names and document properties do not leak author identity
- [ ] Tables, figures, and any online supplement embedded/uploaded per ScholarOne rules

### Style & structure
- [ ] **APA** references and in-text citations throughout; reference list complete and consistent
- [ ] Abstract within the journal's limit (待核实) and stating the dual contribution
- [ ] Theoretical-model figure matches the hypotheses; exhibits self-contained
- [ ] Level of analysis and constructs labeled consistently
- [ ] Word/page limit respected (待核实); heavy material moved to an online supplement if needed

### Declarations & policy
- [ ] **Data-availability statement** prepared per Wiley policy
- [ ] Ethics / IRB approval and informed-consent statements where human-subjects data are used
- [ ] Conflict-of-interest and funding disclosures complete
- [ ] Confirmed the paper is not under review elsewhere; AI not listed as an author

### The screen check (do this last)
- [ ] A reader of the abstract + intro can see **both** the scholarly advance and the workforce-policy / HRM-practice implication — this is what the EIC gates on

## Anti-patterns

- Submitting a main file that still names the authors or affiliations (breaks double-blind)
- Treating the title page as part of the anonymized manuscript
- Non-APA references, or inconsistent in-text citation style
- Omitting the data-availability statement
- Submitting to HRM via the wrong portal/journal (confusing it with HRMJ, the UK journal)
- Ignoring the practice payoff and hoping the rigor alone clears the EIC screen

## Output format

```text
【Anonymization】main file clean + separate title page? [Y/N]
【Style】APA references + house style? [Y/N]
【Abstract/limits】within limit (待核实) + dual contribution stated? [Y/N]
【Data policy】availability statement prepared? [Y/N]
【Declarations】ethics / COI / funding complete? [Y/N]
【Screen check】scholarly advance AND practice payoff visible up front? [Y/N]
【Portal】Wiley ScholarOne (not HRMJ)? [Y/N]
【Next step】submit via ScholarOne → hrm-review-process for what to expect
```
