Submissions for Research & Reviews and Essays, Dialogues, & Interviews should be submitted to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amle. Specific submission instructions are provided on that website. Your submission will be acknowledged electronically when referees are assigned, usually within a few days of receipt. If you need assistance uploading your paper, please contact the Manuscript Central helpline weekdays between 12:00 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. EST at 434-964-4100 or 888-503-1050 (both U.S.-based numbers). Any questions concerning electronic submission should be directed to the managing editor at amle@aom.pace.edu.

Submission Requirements
When authors submit their manuscript to AMLE for publication consideration, they agree to abide by AMLE's publication requirements. Specifically, an author must:

• Agree that the manuscript is not under review for publication elsewhere and will not be submitted to another publication entity during the review period at AMLE.
• Confirm that the manuscript has not previously been submitted to AMLE for review. Submission of manuscripts previously published in Academy Proceedings is acceptable; similarly, prior presentation at a conference or concurrent consideration for presentation at a conference does not disqualify a manuscript from submission to AMLE.
• Attest that empirically-oriented manuscript submissions report empirical results that have not been published previously. Authors whose manuscripts utilize data that are reported in any other manuscript, published or not, are required to inform the editor of these reports at the time of submission.
• Agree that working papers, prior drafts, and/or final versions of submitted manuscripts that are posted to a Web site (e.g., personal, departmental, university, or working series site) will be taken down during the review process.

Although AMLE will not review previously rejected manuscripts, authors may consider re-developing manuscripts previously rejected by AMLE for consideration as new manuscripts. However, in order for such a manuscript to be considered a new submission, the manuscript must: 1) address modified or new research questions; 2) incorporate new conceptual or theoretical arguments; and (for empirically-oriented manuscripts) 3) use additional or new data to test the proposed relationships.  Authors must note in their cover letter that the paper was derived from a previously rejected manuscript and describe how the proposed new submission addresses these criteria.

Submission of a manuscript to the Academy of Management Learning & Education also carries an implicit quid pro quo: willingness to review for AMLE. The cornerstone of the editorial process at AMLE is the willingness of colleagues to provide each other feedback through peer review. Authors who submit manuscripts to AMLE for review are expected to reciprocate by reviewing for AMLE if called upon to do so.

AMLE uses AMJ’s Style Guide for Authors, so any manuscript submission to AMLE should be prepared according to those guidelines, but should omit the title page for the purpose of uploading onto the Web-based submission system. This file must contain a detailed abstract and all end materials such as appendixes, references, tables, and figures. The submission must be typed using a twelve-pitch or larger Times New Roman font, with margins of at least one-inch.

To submit a manuscript, first make sure you have a Word file from which the title page and all author-identifying references have been removed. Then, go to the Web site at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/AMLE/ and follow the directions. Acknowledgments of others' help in preparing the paper for submission should be included in the letter to the Editor that is featured as part of the Web-based submission process.
