name: hrm-submission 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

【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
