Open Submissions
The ION conference has been kept, in previous years, purposefully small to enable intense engagement and discussion. This year, we would like to invite up to five exceptional papers that focus on phenomena of relevance to the study of social networks in an organizational context. Authors of accepted papers will have the opportunity to present their work to noted scholars in the field and receive quality feedback.
Please submit a full paper for consideration to Giuseppe (Joe) Labianca by November 1, 2011. The authors of approximately 5 selected papers will be notified by November 15, 2011. There is no attendance or meal fee, but participants are expected to cover their own transportation and lodging expenses.
