Reviewing for the Annual Meeting
Become an AOM Annual Meeting Reviewer
Academy of Management relies on and greatly appreciates our reviewers. Reviewing is a critical aspect in our community, and we highly encourage members to volunteer to review for at least one Division or Interest Group (DIG), especially if you are planning to submit a proposal. Reciprocal reviews provide submitters with high-quality and important feedback on their work.

“Reviewing for the Annual Meeting is truly a rewarding experience. It helps us stay informed about new developments, discover the diverse perspectives authors bring, and sometimes even spot new limitations in ongoing research…It helps to better understand how to structure a paper, develop ideas, and construct compelling arguments. What I find particularly valuable is the chance to provide constructive feedback that can genuinely help authors.”
