BPS Global Representatives PDW: Fostering Publication from Around the World in Leading Organization and Strategy Journals
Description:
Around the world we find scholars engaged in exciting, innovative, and relevant research projects. Unfortunately many of these geographically-diverse scholars face important 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, scholars 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 other sessions, 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:

In order to encourage participation from historically under-represented segments of the academic community, the BPS Division will offer need-based financial support of up to $1000 per person to up to eight 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. The organizers would therefore like to solicit submissions especially from scholars who otherwise might not consider attending the AOM Annual Conference for financial reasons. Scholars can use the funding to support their travel/accommodation or conference fee. Support will be extended in finding accommodation at cheaper rates.
Interested candidates are requested to apply by April 1, 2013 via email to Professor Luca Gnan at luca.gnan@uniroma2.it with (a) a current CV and (b) a completed manuscript that is almost ready for submission to a research journal. Participants will be notified of their selection upon the approval of the PDW around mid-April.
