BPS Global Representatives' PDW: Fostering Publication from Around the World in Leading Organization and Strategy Journals
Around the world we find researchers engaged in exciting, innovative, and relevant research projects. Unfortunately many of these geographically diverse researchers face significant obstacles that prevent them from publishing in leading, high-impact journals and reaching a broad audience for their research. In many cases, English is not their native language; they are typically not trained in US or US-style institutions; their research approach may be unorthodox; and they may lack guidance during the arduous process of revision and resubmission. As a result, researchers from many countries around the world are under-represented in the leading journals in our field.
This PDW is targeted to scholars from under-represented countries who seek successful publication of their research in top journals. The PDW has a very practical, hands-on orientation. Prior to the workshop, each participant will be asked to send his/her best non- published manuscript to the organizers, who will then forward the piece to a group of facilitators who are all scholars with successful publication experience. During the event, a panel of editors will share insights that they have gained through handling manuscripts originating in different countries and discuss such issues as the way to frame research projects for publication, the distinct requirements of different outlets, how to overcome language difficulties, etc. There will also be a 'global scholars panel' in which scholars from other parts of the world share their successes and challenges, and provide their own experiences with the review process. In this session, the results of a survey on primary hurdles faced by global scholars will be disseminated. This will serve as a basic platform for discussion and a development of a further framework for action and network of global scholars.
In the final session, registered participants will receive feedback from facilitators on their individual manuscripts along with suggestions on how they can reach successful publication. Throughout the PDW, ongoing dialogue will address different types of articles (quantitative, qualitative, purely theoretical, etc.) and take into consideration the research traditions of scholars from different parts of the world.
The Editors' Panel will comprise of the following members:
· Stephen Tallman (University of Richmond) – Co-editor, Global Strategy Journal
· Martin Kilduff (University College London) – Associate editor, Administrative Science Quarterly
· Marjorie Lyles (Indiana University) – Senior Advisory Board, Global Strategy journal, Editorial Board, Strategic Management Journal
In order to encourage participation from under-represented segments of the academic community, the BPS Division will offer need-based financial support of up to $500 per person to up to five scholars. Financial support will be offered on the basis of: (a) quality and promise of the manuscripts, and (b) demonstrated need; both to be determined solely at the discretion of the BPS Division. Financially needy scholars who are admitted to the PDW are encouraged to seek additional funding for travel from other sources. The PDW organizers will be happy to arrange recommendation letters, should they be needed to secure external funds.
Interested candidates are requested to send (a) a current CV and (b) a completed and edited manuscript that that they plan to submit to a research journal by April 30, 2015. Please email these documents to Allya Koesoema at a.koesoema@unsw.edu.au Scholars who will be admitted to the PDW will be notified by mid-May.
