Journal of Applied Psychology Workflow Router (joap-workflow)

The orchestrator for a JAP submission. JAP is the APA flagship of industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology, and it accepts almost nothing on rigor alone: a paper must make a theoretical contribution to I-O science and clear a high bar on construct validity, design, and measurement. The router makes sure both gates are addressed early, then sends you to the matching skill.

When to trigger

• Starting a new JAP paper and unsure where to begin
• Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next
• Choosing among article types
• Returning with a decision letter (route to joap-rebuttal)

First question: article type
