Use when appraising the cumulative evidence and ensuring balance in an Academy of Management Annals (Annals) review — weighing conflicting findings by credibility, steelmanning rival schools, and handling the author's own work even-handedly. Audits evidence quality and fairness; it does not design the framework (amann-organizing-framework) or build exhibits (amann-tables-figures).

# Evidence Standards — Appraisal & Balance (amann-evidence-standards)

## When to trigger

- The framework is set and you are filling cells with the literature
- The field has rival schools, a live controversy, or conflicting empirical results
- You must decide whether to cite *everything* or curate, and how to weigh disagreeing studies
- You are a contributor to this literature and worry the review tilts toward your own work

## At Annals you are the field's reviewer-of-record

An Annals review carries no estimates of its own — but it is not therefore neutral. The "attitude" is **disciplined critical appraisal**: you judge how good the cumulative evidence is, reconcile conflicts by credibility, and state where the field's confidence is and is not warranted. This is the review-craft replacement for primary-research robustness checks: you are appraising *other people's* designs, not defending your own.
