Dear colleagues
Stefan Haefliger and I would like to draw your attention to the junior faculty pre-conference meeting at EGOS, Montreal. (www.egosnet.org)
Post-Doctoral and Early Career Scholars Workshop
Purpose
The progress of research in organizational studies relies upon the commitment and creativity of advanced PhD students, post-doctoral fellows and junior scholars who explore new questions, new methods and new phenomena. Therefore, EGOS puts special emphasis on supporting the academic development of younger scholars and their positioning and integration in the academic community(ies). The purpose of this workshop is to help junior scholars to publish and refine their paper, facilitate their academic socialization, emphasize the importance and offer support in improving junior scholars' publication capabilities and provide an arena for explorations of issues on the cutting edge of research in areas. The workshop is an active exchange based on a dialogue among junior and senior academics that seeks to strengthen the junior scholars involvement with the EGOS community and help them in finding their ways in the academia.
Content & Objectives
This year, the pre-Colloquium Post-Doc Workshop focuses on three elements:
· Better understanding of the changing publication game
· Improve your reviewing capabilities
· Improve your paper to submit it
The publication process. Editors of reputable international journals will share insights and practices on the art and craft of a scholarly publication. The module includes lectures, discussions and tutored group work on the participants' proposals for journal articles. Among the topics covered are the academic journal article as a specific genre of a scholarly publication, identification and development of the main argument of an article, choosing the appropriate audience and journal for a specific topic, overcoming typical problems in writing an article, the role of editors, referees and authors in the process of publishing, other practical aspects of writing and publishing, experiences with publishing and how to review other colleagues' manuscripts (discussions within small group with referee).
The reviewing process. Reviewing is the other side of the publication process. Understanding and appreciating the review process will help in reviewing, as well publishing one's own work. Based on a reflexion on your own experience as a reviewer (you will be asked to review a paper), the workshop will examine the process with experienced editors and reviewers.
The faculty involved in the workshop includes scholars from a variety of geographical and disciplinary backgrounds. Members of the faculty included in the past sessions: Julia Balogun (School of Management, Lancaster University, UK), Nicolette van Gestel (Nijmegen School of Management, NL), Stefan Häfliger (ETHZ, CH), Frank den Hond (VU University Amsterdam, NL), Sirkka L.
