2
I have studied the articles of the last three issues

I have consulted and respected the expected presentation standards on the RIPCO website
4
My general title is no longer than twelve words, which will allow my work to be well referenced in databases if it is accepted
5
My abstract presents the interest of the subject, my theoretical background, my methodology (if any), the main results obtained, the managerial and theoretical implications of my findings
6
I have framed the reader's thinking by explicitly stating the problematic so that he does not get lost on a path that is not mine
7
I formulated a clear promise to the reader
8
I justified practically or theoretically the interest of my work by stating a grey area or an enigma (it is not because this point has never been studied that it is interesting)
9
I did not try to "oversell" my research question
10
I revised my introduction once the rest of the article was written
11
I made sure that my last part keeps the promise I made in the introduction
12
I presented my key findings in the introduction
13
I wrote my introduction in a way that is understandable even to a reader who is not a specialist in my subject.

16
I have justified my theoretical anchoring
17
I have precisely defined all the key concepts of the title of my proposal
18
I considered each concept as a character in a novel and I have defined its character and its relationship to the others

40
My discussion is at least as long as the presentation of my results
41
I started my discussion with a reminder of my research question and my essential discovery
42
I presented my essential contribution to literature and considered its consequences
43
I considered the managerial implications of my discoveries
44
The limitations of my work that I have outlined do not fundamentally challenge my findings
45
I suggested original avenues of research
46

FORMAT
47
I made transitions between my parts, my sections, and my paragraphs

59
In my development, I have not given the same credit to the conclusions taken from an article published in a renowned scientific journal and those drawn from a conference paper.
MANUSCRIPT REVIEW PROCESS
60
I know that if a proofreader misunderstood something, it's because I misspoke it
61
I realized that my work could be criticized by the evaluators
62
I am ready to revise my manuscript in a dispassionate fashion as a problem-solving exercise
63
I know I wouldn't be discouraged if my proposal is refused
