"name": "asq-submission",
"description": "Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for an Administrative Science Quarterly (ASQ) manuscript — fit, anonymization, format, exhibits, references, and the editorial-system submission. Checks readiness; it does not write or revise the manuscript."

Submission Preflight (asq-submission)
When to trigger
- "I'm submitting tonight" — the last check before hitting submit
- You are unsure what files and metadata the editorial system requires
- You need a fit + anonymization + formatting sweep
Volatile specifics (length norms, abstract cap, named editors) change over time. Treat them as durable norms and verify the current Manuscript Submission Guidelines at journals.sagepub.com/author-instructions/asq and the live portal at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/asq before submitting.
Fees. ASQ is a hybrid journal with no submission fee and no mandatory publication fee. Optional gold open access costs an article processing charge (APC) of US$3,000, billed only after acceptance if you opt in. Do not budget a submission fee — there is none.
Reference style: APA. As of January 2025, ASQ uses APA style for in-text citations and the reference list (this changed from its older in-house ASQ style — verify you are on the current APA convention).
Fit pre-check (do not skip)
- The manuscript delivers a surprising theoretical insight about organizations (not just a finding)
- The contribution is theoretical, not methodological
- The phenomenon is in ASQ's wheelhouse (organization theory / sociology of organizations)
- You can name the conversation it joins and a few recent ASQ articles as anchors
- If it is a pure conceptual paper with no data, reconsider (AMR may fit better)
Format
- Manuscript type selected correctly (research article vs. book review — ASQ runs a standing book review section, unusual among top management journals)
- One key point statable in a single sentence (ASQ: "each manuscript should contain one key point")
- Title page (with author info) is a separate file from the main document
- Abstract is 200 words or fewer, jargon-free; keywords drawn from the ASQ ScholarOne keyword list
- Length near the suggested 35–45 pages of text (12-pt Times New Roman, double-spaced, 1-inch margins) plus refs/tables/figures; over-long files get unsubmitted before review
- References in APA style (ASQ adopted APA in January 2025)
- Manuscript in Word or PDF (Word required later if accepted); supplemental material placed online and anonymized
- Data & Methods Transparency plan ready (a required ScholarOne item at submission)
Anonymization (double-blind)
- Main document contains no author-identifying information
- Self-citations phrased neutrally ("prior work (Author, 2020) shows…"), not "in our earlier study"
- Acknowledgments, funding, and thanks removed from the main file (placed on the separate title page)
- Field site / data provider not identifiable if that would reveal the authors
- File properties/metadata scrubbed of author names and affiliations
- File names contain no author names
Exhibits & evidence
- Qualitative: data-structure figure and data-to-theory/evidence table included
- Quantitative: descriptives, correlations, and main tables complete and self-contained
- Every exhibit numbered, titled, noted, and referenced in text
- Online supplement / appendix prepared if used (interview guide, extra quotes, robustness)
References & citations
- Every in-text citation appears in the reference list and vice versa
- Recent and canonical organization-theory works both engaged
- DOIs/page numbers complete; no "in press" left unresolved if now published
Editorial system & metadata
- Account created at ASQ's ScholarOne portal (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/asq) — no submission fee
- Cover letter does not summarize the paper; it lists prior viewers/conflicts and discloses any data overlap with other work (ASQ's overlap rule is broad)
- Keywords from the ASQ ScholarOne keyword list; suggested reviewers named in the cover letter (the form no longer accepts them)
- Declarations done (originality, COPE ethics, data transparency)
- Not under review elsewhere and not previously rejected by ASQ (no resubmissions of rejected papers)
Anti-patterns
- Submitting a thin-theory, sophisticated-method paper to a theory-first journal
- Forgetting to anonymize self-citations, acknowledgments, or file metadata (ASQ review is double-blind)
- A cover letter that summarizes the paper (ASQ says this is not useful) instead of disclosing overlap and conflicts
- Exhibits not self-contained; figures illegible in grayscale
- A bloated manuscript well past ~45 pages — length-to-contribution is an explicit evaluation criterion, and editors will unsubmit it
- Using old in-house ASQ references instead of APA (changed January 2025)
- Resubmitting a paper ASQ already rejected (not permitted)
