Individual skill
ajs-submission
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for the American Journal of Sociology (AJS) via Editorial Manager — the $30 submission fee (waived for sole-author grad students), the separate cover page for double-blind review, the ~150-word abstract, mandatory figure alt text, AJS house style, and the originality statement. Final checks; it does not draft content.

# Submission Preflight (ajs-submission)
The last check before pressing submit on **Editorial Manager** (`editorialmanager.com/ucp-ajs`). AJS
is **double-blind**, so the most common avoidable failures are an under-anonymized manuscript and a
cover page left inside the manuscript file. Also unique to AJS: a **$30 submission fee** and **AJS's
own house style** (not the ASA Style Guide). Verify volatile items on the live pages before submission.
## When to trigger
- "Submitting tomorrow" — last pass before upload
- Unsure which files/metadata Editorial Manager expects
- Confirming the fee, anonymization, abstract, alt text, and house style are all handled
## Process facts (verify volatile items on the official page)
