    Dear Colleagues,

    In checking in manuscripts for OMT, I noticed that about 20% have to be returned to their authors for revisions. Because of the rush to meet the January 15 deadline, we anticipate that several hundred papers will be submitted on that date or a day or two before. We will not be able to return papers for revisions and those that do not meet the guidelines may end up being rejected outright. Please take the time to read the paper submission guidelines that can be found at the following link.     http://aom.org/annualmeeting/submission/scholarly/guidelines/

    Some of the most common errors are:
    Author's name on paper submission
    Missing submission number (must be in the header on all pages)
    Missing title
    Missing abstract
    Missing page numbers
    Paper is too long (40 page limit)

    The most common mistake is missing submission number. The TWO MOST IMPORTANT errors are the first and last listed above: 1. having a title (or other) page with any of the author information on it, and 2. having a paper in excess of 40 pages.  Fix these and other errors before submitting the paper or you run the risk of its not being accepted for review at all!

    For your convenience, the following link will take you to the AOM submission system:
