# Writing Style for JOM (jom-writing-style)
## When to trigger
- Prose is jargon-heavy, passive, or buries the operations argument
- The paper reads as academic-only and ignores the practitioner audience
- You need to meet JOM/Wiley formatting, length, and similarity rules
- You are reconciling citations and references to APA
## Front-load the operations argument
JOM readers — and ASCM's practitioner audience — want the point early. State the operations phenomenon, the puzzle, and the contribution in the first page, before the literature scaffolding. Use active voice and concrete operational language (cycle time, fill rate, supplier dependence, recall severity) rather than abstract management prose. Because the work must show **operations at the heart of the question**, every section should keep the operations phenomenon in view.
## Write for academics and practitioners
