Authors intending to submit to Advances in Business & Industrial Marketing Research (ABIM) should review the current Aims & Scope, accepted manuscript types, manuscript requirements, official manuscript template, separate Title Page requirements, peer-review process, publication ethics, Article Processing Charge policy, Open Access and licensing terms, and other applicable journal policies before submission.

ABIM accepts manuscripts written in English only. Authors should prepare original, academically rigorous, clearly written, and ethically compliant manuscripts that make a substantive scholarly contribution to at least one field included in the journal's current Aims & Scope.

All formal submissions must be made through the official ABIM Online Journal System (OJS). Manuscripts submitted only through personal email, messaging applications, or unofficial communication channels do not constitute formal journal submissions.

All scholarly fields explicitly included in the current ABIM Aims & Scope form part of the journal's main scholarly scope and have equal standing. These include business and industrial marketing, marketing management, consumer behavior, business strategy, organizational performance, economics and development, human resource management, organizational behavior, leadership, sustainability, ESG, responsible management, accounting, auditing, governance, finance, entrepreneurship, innovation, digital economy, artificial intelligence, and technological developments relevant to the journal's recognized scholarly fields.

A manuscript may establish scope eligibility through a substantive contribution to any one recognized ABIM field. It is not required to combine several scholarly fields or introduce an additional business, marketing, industrial marketing, management, economics, accounting, finance, or other disciplinary variable when another explicitly recognized field independently provides the principal scholarly foundation.

ABIM accepts three recognized manuscript types: Research Paper, Literature Review Paper, and Conceptual Paper.

Research Paper presents original research using quantitative, qualitative, mixed-method, experimental, quasi-experimental, longitudinal, panel-data, cross-sectional, comparative, econometric, archival, computational, case-based, behavioral, textual, or other defensible original-research designs. The study must demonstrate appropriate theoretical or conceptual grounding, transparent methods, credible findings, and a substantive scholarly contribution.

Literature Review Paper presents a rigorous scholarly synthesis using an accurately identified and sufficiently transparent narrative, integrative, systematic, scoping, structured, bibliometric, scientometric, meta-analytical, theory-oriented, concept-oriented, or other defensible literature-review approach. The manuscript must provide meaningful critical synthesis, theoretical or conceptual insights, methodological understanding, scholarly interpretation, or a focused future-research agenda.

Conceptual Paper presents rigorous theory-building, conceptual development, framework development, or policy- and practice-oriented scholarly analysis. The manuscript must establish a clear scholarly problem, critically engage with relevant literature, develop defensible theoretical or conceptual reasoning, and demonstrate meaningful intellectual originality and scholarly implications.

Manuscript-Type Principle: Research designs, analytical techniques, datasets, statistical methods, theoretical perspectives, and literature-review techniques do not automatically constitute separate manuscript types. Authors must select the recognized category that accurately represents the principal scholarly design and contribution of their manuscript.

All manuscripts must be submitted electronically through the official ABIM OJS platform. Authors without an existing account should register before initiating a submission. Registered authors should log in and complete the journal's online submission procedure, including manuscript-file upload, submission metadata, and required declarations.

Submitted files must accurately represent the final version approved by all authors for editorial consideration. Author names, affiliations, manuscript title, abstract, keywords, references, and corresponding-author information should remain consistent between the submitted files and the information recorded in OJS.

Authors must prepare and submit two separate files: (1) a Blinded Manuscript and (2) a Title Page & Author Information Form. These files serve different editorial purposes and must not be combined into a single submission document. Files should be submitted in DOC or DOCX format, not PDF.

1. Blinded Manuscript: The blinded manuscript contains the article title, structured abstract, keywords, selected manuscript type, main text, tables, figures, supporting material where applicable, and references. It must not contain author names, institutional affiliations, author email addresses, acknowledgements revealing identity, identifying document properties, or other information that could reasonably disclose author identity.

2. Title Page & Author Information Form: The separate Title Page contains verified author names, institutional affiliations, email addresses, corresponding-author details, ORCID information, CRediT contributions, funding, conflicts of interest, Data Availability Statement, acknowledgements, research ethics and consent information where applicable, Generative AI disclosure, third-party permissions, and applicable author and publication declarations.

The corresponding author's ORCID is required. Other authors should provide their ORCID where available. Authors must verify that the institutional and corresponding-author information entered in OJS is consistent with the separate Title Page.

Before submission, authors must confirm that the manuscript is original, is not simultaneously under consideration by another journal, follows the selected ABIM manuscript type, complies with the current Aims & Scope, and satisfies the journal's research-integrity and submission requirements.

Manuscripts should be prepared using the current official ABIM Manuscript Template. The main text must be written in clear academic English using Calisto MT, 11 pt, A4 page size, a single-column layout, and single spacing. Unnecessary blank space, inconsistent formatting, excessive repetition, and unused template instructions should be removed before submission.

The manuscript title must contain no more than 20 words and should follow the official template's title formatting, including Calisto MT, 18 pt where specified. The structured abstract must not exceed 200 words. Authors should provide 5–6 relevant keywords in accordance with the existing ABIM author guidelines and select the appropriate recognized manuscript type.

The manuscript must follow the structure appropriate to its selected type. Research Papers, Literature Review Papers, and Conceptual Papers should maintain the applicable scholarly components and methodological or analytical transparency while avoiding irrelevant headings or unused template instructions. Procedures, analytical techniques, software, statistical tests, review protocols, and other methodological details must be reported only when genuinely used.

The official manuscript template and separate Title Page must be obtained from the existing ABIM links below. Authors should use the current journal-approved versions and ensure consistency between their files and the metadata supplied through OJS.

The abstract must be written in English, follow the current official ABIM manuscript requirements, and contain no more than 200 words. It should present the scholarly objective, research, review, or conceptual approach, principal substantive findings or arguments, implications, and originality without unnecessarily reproducing detailed numerical outputs from the manuscript.

Research Paper: Use the structured labels Purpose; Research Methodology; Results; Research limitations/Implications; Originality. The abstract should state the research objective or question, summarize the actual research design and analytical approach, communicate the principal empirical findings, identify material limitations and implications, and explain the study's novelty or scholarly contribution.

Literature Review Paper: Use the structured labels Purpose; Review Methodology; Findings; Research limitations/Implications; Originality. The abstract should state the review objective or question, describe the actual review approach, summarize the principal themes, patterns, debates, evidence gaps, or conceptual insights, identify limitations and implications, and explain the review's distinctive scholarly contribution.

Conceptual Paper: The abstract should clearly communicate the scholarly purpose, theoretical or conceptual foundation, analytical approach, principal conceptual arguments or propositions, limitations and implications, and originality. Authors should follow any additional structured labels specified in the current ABIM-approved template or editorial instructions for this manuscript type.

Detailed coefficients, p-values, test statistics, confidence intervals, fit indices, bibliometric counts, and other numerical outputs should normally be presented in the main text rather than the abstract. A specific numerical value should be included only when essential to understanding the principal substantive finding. Authors must not exaggerate the strength, significance, generalizability, or implications of their findings or arguments.

A Research Paper should follow the current official manuscript template and normally use the main structure Introduction → Review of Literature → Research Methodology → Results and Discussion → Conclusion. Within Results and Discussion, empirical results and their scholarly interpretation must remain clearly distinguishable.

1. Introduction: Establish the state of the art, scholarly context, research problem, literature gap, novelty, objectives or research questions, and theoretical, methodological, practical, managerial, institutional, or policy significance. Clearly explain why the study matters and what contribution it intends to make.

2. Review of Literature: Critically evaluate and synthesize relevant theories, concepts, and prior empirical evidence. Explain consistencies, disagreements, unresolved questions, and relevant research gaps. Develop an appropriate conceptual foundation, research model, propositions, or hypotheses where justified. The section should advance a coherent scholarly argument rather than merely list previous studies.

Hypothesis Development: For hypothesis-testing studies, hypotheses should be derived logically from appropriate theory and relevant empirical evidence and should correspond with the research model, variables, analytical method, and interpretation of results. Hypotheses are not mandatory for qualitative, exploratory, descriptive, or other designs where they are methodologically inappropriate.

3. Research Methodology: Report the procedures genuinely used to generate and analyze the evidence. Describe the research design, population or unit of analysis, sample or case selection, research context, data sources, collection procedures, variables or constructs, instruments, measurement, analytical techniques, model specifications, validity or reliability procedures, software, robustness procedures, and ethical safeguards where applicable. This section should explain the methods rather than present empirical findings.

4. Results and Discussion: This main section should distinguish the presentation of evidence from scholarly interpretation, using appropriate subheadings consistent with the journal's manuscript template.

4.1 Research Results: Present empirical findings accurately and transparently using relevant descriptive, statistical, qualitative, model-based, experimental, comparative, or other research evidence. Include material findings that do not support proposed hypotheses. Report appropriate tables, figures, analytical outputs, and substantive results without unnecessarily repeating numerical values in the narrative.

4.2 Discussion: Interpret the substantive meaning of the results in relation to the theoretical or conceptual framework, previous research, the study context, and relevant scholarly debates. Explain agreements, differences, unexpected findings, and theoretical, methodological, managerial, economic, financial, organizational, practical, or policy implications as applicable. Avoid repeating detailed coefficients, p-values, statistical outputs, tables, and findings already reported in the Research Results subsection.

5. Conclusion: Provide a concise synthesis that directly answers the research objectives, identifies the principal contribution, explains important implications, acknowledges relevant limitations, and proposes focused, defensible future-research directions. The Conclusion must not simply reproduce the Abstract, Results, or Discussion.

Evidence Placement Principle: Research Methodology explains what was done; Research Results reports what the evidence shows; Discussion interprets what the findings mean; and Conclusion states what the study ultimately establishes. Each section must perform a distinct scholarly function and avoid unnecessary duplication.

A Literature Review Paper should normally follow the structure Introduction → Review Methodology → Review Findings / Literature Synthesis → Discussion → Conclusion. Review methodology, evidence synthesis, interpretation, and conclusions must be presented as distinct scholarly functions.

1. Introduction: Establish the scholarly problem, review context, state of the literature, knowledge gap, review question or objective, significance, and intended contribution. Explain why a literature review is needed and what the review seeks to clarify, synthesize, extend, or critically evaluate.

2. Review Methodology: Accurately identify the review design and describe how the literature was identified, selected, organized, evaluated, and synthesized. Information sources, databases, search strategies, eligibility criteria, screening procedures, duplicate handling, analytical approaches, and software should be reported where applicable to the review actually conducted. Not all procedures are required for every review design.

3. Review Findings / Literature Synthesis: Present a substantive synthesis of the literature through meaningful themes, concepts, theoretical perspectives, research streams, scholarly debates, methodological patterns, chronological developments, or research gaps. Quantitative and bibliometric findings should be reported here when relevant. Avoid purely descriptive study-by-study listings without meaningful synthesis.

4. Discussion: Interpret the synthesis at a higher scholarly level. Explain what the accumulated literature establishes, where disagreements or limitations remain, how the review extends or challenges existing knowledge, and what theoretical, conceptual, methodological, managerial, economic, financial, practical, organizational, or policy implications follow. Avoid repeating detailed bibliometric counts, tables, and evidence already presented.

5. Conclusion: Answer the review objective, synthesize the principal insights, explain originality and scholarly contribution, identify limitations, and provide a focused future-research agenda. Conclusions must remain proportionate to the evidence reviewed and should not merely restate the findings or discussion.

Review Integrity: Authors must accurately describe the review design actually conducted. Manuscripts must not claim systematic, PRISMA-based, scoping, bibliometric, meta-analytical, database-search, screening, or other specialized procedures unless those procedures were genuinely performed. A PRISMA flow diagram is appropriate only when the review design and actual procedures support its use. Bibliometric mapping or descriptive classification alone is insufficient where substantive scholarly synthesis is absent.

A Conceptual Paper should present a rigorous and coherent scholarly argument supported by relevant literature, theoretical or conceptual foundations, transparent analytical reasoning, and an identifiable original contribution. The organization may be adapted to the nature of the conceptual inquiry while maintaining clear scholarly development and compliance with applicable ABIM requirements.

1. Introduction: Identify the scholarly problem, theoretical or conceptual gap, research objective, significance, and intended conceptual contribution. Explain why existing concepts, explanations, frameworks, or theoretical relationships require development, refinement, integration, or critical reassessment.

2. Theoretical and Conceptual Foundations: Critically evaluate relevant theories, constructs, concepts, prior conceptual models, and scholarly debates. Establish the theoretical or conceptual basis for the analysis and explain the limitations or unresolved problems that motivate further conceptual development.

3. Conceptual Development and Analysis: Present the analytical reasoning used to develop the proposed concepts, theoretical relationships, propositions, classifications, integrative frameworks, or conceptual model. Arguments must be logically coherent, supported by relevant scholarship, and clearly distinguished from empirical findings not actually generated by the manuscript.

4. Discussion: Explain the theoretical, conceptual, methodological, managerial, organizational, practical, institutional, or policy implications of the proposed contribution. Clarify its relationship with established scholarship, identify conceptual boundaries and limitations, and explain how the proposed argument could guide future research or evidence-based practice.

5. Conclusion: Synthesize the central conceptual contribution, clarify its originality, acknowledge material limitations, and identify focused directions for theoretical refinement, empirical evaluation, scholarly application, or future conceptual research.

Conceptual Integrity: Conceptual arguments, propositions, theoretical interpretations, and proposed models must be presented as conceptual contributions unless empirically tested. Authors must not invent supporting empirical results, imply that unperformed analyses were conducted, or present theoretical propositions as established causal findings without appropriate evidence.

Tables and figures should be relevant, accurate, clearly numbered, appropriately titled, and placed near their first substantive discussion in the manuscript. Tables and figures must be numbered separately and consecutively. Table titles and figure titles should appear above the respective items, while sources, notes, and explanatory information should appear below.

Figures, diagrams, conceptual frameworks, thematic maps, review-flow diagrams, statistical charts, and bibliometric visualizations must accurately reflect the research design, review methodology, conceptual relationships, underlying evidence, and findings. Raster figures should preferably have a resolution of at least 300 DPI where applicable. All labels, symbols, data, arrows, relationships, and visual elements must remain clear and publication-ready.

Authors are responsible for securing and documenting necessary copyright permissions for reproduced or adapted figures, tables, datasets, images, and other third-party materials. Unattributed reproduction, materially misleading visual modification, or alteration of research evidence is not acceptable.

ABIM accepts submissions in English only. Manuscripts must demonstrate appropriate grammar, academic tone, clarity, readability, terminology consistency, logical paragraph development, coherence, inclusive language, and international scholarly readability. Authors should follow relevant APA guidance concerning bias-free language.

Language editing and proofreading must preserve scientific meaning, analytical evidence, research findings, conceptual relationships, and authorial claims. Authors are not required to purchase a commercial language-editing service as a condition of scholarly consideration or acceptance.

All in-text citations and reference-list entries must follow APA Style, 7th edition. Manuscripts should include at least 25 references, with at least 80% of references drawn from scholarly journal articles. Authors should prioritize relevant and recent scholarship, generally from the most recent seven years under the existing ABIM guidance, while retaining important seminal or foundational studies where academically necessary.

Literature Review Papers must draw on a sufficiently broad, appropriate, and defensible body of literature for the review objective, design, and scholarly contribution. Conceptual Papers must engage critically with the theoretical and conceptual literature necessary to support their scholarly arguments. The minimum reference requirement does not replace the need for adequate literature coverage, rigorous synthesis, or appropriate scholarly foundations.

Every work cited in the manuscript must appear in the reference list, and every reference-list entry must be cited in the manuscript. Authors must verify the accuracy of author names, publication years, titles, journal names, volume and issue details, page ranges, publishers, DOIs, URLs, and other bibliographic metadata. DOI links should be provided whenever available, and stable URLs should be supplied for eligible online sources.

References must be genuine, traceable, relevant, and accurately represented. Fabricated, fictitious, hallucinated, materially inaccurate, misleading, or unverifiable references are not permitted. Sources must not be cited as supporting claims that they do not substantiate.

APA 7 In-Text Citation Examples: Single author: (Ward, 2012); two authors: (Tirdasari & Dhewanto, 2012); three or more authors: (Alias et al., 2016); multiple sources: (Ward, 2012; Tirdasari & Dhewanto, 2012); narrative citation: Ward (2012); direct quotation: (Ward, 2012, p. 25). These examples illustrate citation formatting and should not be treated as verified references unless the corresponding sources have been independently identified.

Authors are strongly encouraged to use reference-management software such as Zotero, Mendeley, or EndNote and to complete thorough citation-to-reference reconciliation before submission. The corresponding author and all coauthors retain responsibility for the accuracy and integrity of the submitted reference list.

Submitted manuscripts must represent original scholarly work and must not contain plagiarism, fabricated or falsified research evidence, fabricated references, misleading attribution, inappropriate text recycling, substantial unattributed material, duplicate publication, or undisclosed simultaneous submission to another journal.

Similarity Threshold: ABIM applies a maximum overall similarity threshold of 15%. The similarity percentage is used as an editorial screening indicator and does not replace qualitative assessment of the nature, source, context, and distribution of matched text.

A similarity score below the stated threshold does not automatically establish originality or guarantee acceptance. Editors may examine inappropriate overlap, unattributed reuse, problematic paraphrasing, or research-integrity concerns regardless of the numerical similarity result. Manuscripts exceeding the stated threshold may require correction or further editorial assessment in accordance with ABIM policies.

All listed authors must have made appropriate scholarly contributions, approved the submitted manuscript, agreed to the reported authorship order, and accepted responsibility for the integrity of the work. Authorship must reflect genuine contribution rather than honorary, guest, gift, or otherwise unsupported authorship arrangements.

The corresponding author's ORCID is mandatory. Other authors should provide their ORCID where available. Authorship contributions must be reported using the current CRediT contributor-role framework, accurately reflecting each author's actual contributions.

The separate Title Page & Author Information Form must include the final article title, selected manuscript type, manuscript identification number where already assigned, full author names without academic titles or ranks, complete affiliations, email addresses, corresponding-author information, ORCID details, and applicable CRediT contributions.

Authors must accurately complete applicable declarations concerning research ethics, institutional or organizational approval, informed consent, publication consent, data-use permission, confidentiality, funding, conflicts of interest, Data Availability, acknowledgements, Generative AI or AI-assisted technologies, third-party material permissions, originality, concurrent submission, final manuscript approval, and author accountability.

Ethics approvals, approval numbers, consent statements, institutional authorizations, permissions, funding information, data-access claims, author contributions, and other publication declarations must not be invented, inferred, or presented inaccurately. Where a declaration does not apply, its status must be reported truthfully in accordance with the Title Page instructions and journal policy.

The separate Title Page incorporates the normal author-information and declaration process. An additional author statement letter is not required in the standard submission workflow unless specifically requested by the ABIM Editorial Office. The Title Page must remain separate from the blinded manuscript throughout the applicable anonymous review process.

Generative AI systems and AI-assisted tools cannot be listed as authors or credited with human authorship responsibility because they cannot assume accountability for originality, accuracy, research integrity, ethical compliance, or the final published scholarly record.

Authors remain fully responsible for the manuscript's content, research design, data, analysis, interpretation, citations, references, originality, confidentiality, ethical compliance, and final scholarly claims. AI-generated or AI-assisted text, calculations, citations, summaries, interpretations, code, figures, and other outputs must be independently checked and verified before inclusion.

Substantive use of Generative AI or AI-assisted technologies must be disclosed accurately where applicable, using the journal's designated Title Page or declaration process. Authors must not upload confidential data, identifiable participant information, unpublished third-party materials, or otherwise protected content into external systems where confidentiality, authorization, intellectual-property rights, and appropriate data protection cannot be assured.

ABIM applies double-anonymous peer review. The identities of authors are not disclosed to reviewers, and the identities of reviewers are not disclosed to authors. The separate Title Page is maintained outside the blinded manuscript for confidential editorial administration and author verification.

Submitted manuscripts undergo initial editorial screening for Aims & Scope relevance, correct manuscript type, originality, scholarly contribution, methodological, conceptual, or review-methodological adequacy, research integrity, citation accuracy, anonymization, similarity concerns, and compliance with journal submission requirements.

Manuscripts that pass editorial screening are normally evaluated by at least two independent reviewers with appropriate substantive, theoretical, conceptual, or methodological expertise. Reviewers provide independent scholarly assessments and recommendations. Reviewer recommendations are advisory rather than automatically binding.

Authors may be requested to revise their manuscripts and provide clear, accurate responses to reviewer and editorial comments. Revised submissions are evaluated to determine whether substantive concerns have been adequately addressed and whether material scientific, ethical, methodological, conceptual, or research-integrity problems remain.

Final scientific-editorial responsibility remains with the responsible academic editor and, where applicable, the Editor-in-Chief. Editorial decisions are based on the manuscript, research or review evidence, conceptual arguments, scholarly contribution, reviewer reports, author responses, revised files, research-integrity requirements, and applicable ABIM policies.

Manuscripts that clearly fall outside the current Aims & Scope, fail to meet one of the recognized manuscript types, lack adequate scholarly contribution, contain serious research-integrity concerns, or do not satisfy essential submission requirements may be declined during initial editorial screening without external peer review.

ABIM provides immediate Open Access to published scholarly articles without subscription charges. Authors retain copyright, and published articles are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0), subject to the attribution and reuse requirements of that license and any applicable third-party rights.

For an accepted manuscript where at least one author is institutionally affiliated with an institution in Indonesia, the current standard ABIM Article Processing Charge is IDR 1,500,000 per accepted manuscript.

Where all authors are institutionally affiliated exclusively with institutions outside Indonesia, the manuscript receives a full APC waiver / IDR 0. Institutional affiliation determines APC or waiver eligibility, rather than nationality, citizenship, residence, country of birth, or another personal characteristic. Mixed authorship including at least one Indonesian institutional affiliation is subject to the standard APC.

No APC is payable before final scientific-editorial acceptance. The Editorial Office verifies the applicable APC or waiver after acceptance. Where payment applies, an official ABIM invoice provides the authorized payment instructions. APC payment, ability to pay, waiver eligibility, or waiver status does not influence screening, reviewer selection, peer review, revision requirements, or scientific-editorial decisions.

ABIM does not charge a mandatory submission fee, peer-review fee, page charge, color-figure charge, mandatory language-editing fee, or separate withdrawal fee. Authors are not required to purchase commercial language editing, proofreading, formatting, consulting, or editorial assistance as a condition of manuscript consideration or acceptance.

Previously issued official invoices and agreed payment terms are not changed retroactively merely because the current APC policy differs from an earlier administrative arrangement. Authors should consult the current APC Policy for payment, waiver administration, withdrawal, refund, and payment-security information.

Payment Security: Authors should make payment only after receiving an official final acceptance decision and authorized invoice. ABIM does not recognize unauthorized intermediaries, unofficial representatives, or third-party claims that payment can guarantee manuscript acceptance, favorable review, expedited scientific evaluation, indexing, or publication. Bank-account and payment-account details are not publicly displayed on this page.

ABIM publishes one annual volume comprising exactly three regular numbered issues. The journal's annual publication periods are Issue No. 1 January–April, Issue No. 2 May–August, and Issue No. 3 September–December, subject to the applicable official publication-frequency framework and preservation of valid historical publication records.

Continuous Publication: Beginning prospectively on 1 September 2026, ABIM applies continuous publication within the applicable active numbered issue. Publication-ready articles may be released individually after completion of the required scientific-editorial, administrative, copyediting, proofreading, production, and metadata-verification procedures.

Continuous publication does not increase the number of regular issues, create additional numbered issues, change the journal's annual publication frequency, or eliminate the requirement to assign each published article to the appropriate volume and issue. Publication scheduling remains subject to the journal's actual editorial and production arrangements.

Historical Record Protection: Previously published volume and issue assignments, article publication dates, pagination, metadata, bibliographic information, DOI records, and established citations remain unchanged. Current policy and production adjustments apply prospectively and do not retrospectively reclassify articles or alter the permanent scholarly record.

Publication Ethics: Authors must comply with ABIM policies concerning originality, authorship and contributorship, conflicts of interest, research ethics, informed consent, data integrity, transparency, confidentiality, citation integrity, Generative AI use, independent peer review, corrections, Expressions of Concern, retractions, and other matters affecting responsible scholarly publication.

Before submitting to ABIM, authors should verify scope eligibility, select the correct manuscript type, prepare the current official ABIM manuscript template, complete the separate Title Page, remove all identifying information from the blinded manuscript, verify the title, structured abstract and keywords, reconcile citations with the reference list, confirm the accuracy of data, analytical results or conceptual arguments, and complete all applicable research-ethics and publication declarations.

Authors should ensure that the manuscript is prepared in DOC or DOCX format, follows the journal's 15% similarity-screening requirement, includes properly prepared tables and figures, and accurately identifies any research or review procedures genuinely conducted. Files must conform to the appropriate manuscript structure and the current ABIM submission requirements.

Authors should ensure that every coauthor has approved the submission and authorship order, that the manuscript is not simultaneously under consideration elsewhere, that relevant third-party permissions are in place, and that all required OJS metadata are accurate and consistent with the separate Title Page. Formal submission takes place only through the official ABIM OJS platform.
