What Constitutes a Theoretical Contribution?
Abstract
Since becoming editor of AMR, I have tried to find a simple way to communicate the neces-sary ingredients of a theoretical contribution. There are several excellent treatises on the sub-ject, but they typically involve terms and con-cepts that are difficult to incorporate into every-day communications with authors and review-ers. My experience has been that available frameworks are as likely to obfuscate, as they are to clarify, meaning. Besides exposure to the works of Kaplan, Dubin, and others varies widely across the Academy. This article is a rudimentary effort to fill this gap: The intent is not to create a new conceptu-alization of theory, but rather to propose several

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
