Fostering Publication from Around the World in Leading Organization and Strategy Journals
BPS Global Representatives' PDW - Academy of Management, Atlanta, USA
Submission Deadline: April 20th, 2017
Description:
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. Now in its seventh year, this PDW is targeted to help scholars from under-represented countries who seek successful publication of their research in top scholarly journals. The PDW has a very practical, hands-on orientation.
· To register, please send (a) a current CV and (b) a completed and edited manuscript that you plan to submit to a peer-reviewed, research journal to Ralf Wilden (ralf.wilden@newcastle.edu.au) by April 20th, 2017. Scholars admitted to the PDW will be notified by beginning of May. We also offer need and merit based financial support for many admitted scholars (see details below).
PDW Format:
The PDW consists of three highly interactive sessions, which complement each other.
Editor Panel: Current and former journal editors share their insights from handling manuscripts originating in different countries, and discuss important issues such as how to frame research projects for publication, the distinct requirements of different outlets, how to overcome language difficulties, etc. All panelists have served on multiple editorial boards.
Global Scholars Panel: Well-published scholars from around the world share their successes and challenges, and provide their experiences with the review process.
Paper Development Session: In this session, registered participants will receive feedback on their submitted manuscripts from facilitators, along with suggestions on how to successfully publish them.
Throughout the PDW, ongoing dialogue will address different types of research articles (quantitative, qualitative, theoretical, etc.), taking into consideration the research traditions of scholars from different parts of the world.

The financial support will include travel grants between US $250 and US $350 (depending on candidate's country) and up to three (3) free conference registration vouchers (for first-time conference attendees ONLY). 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 by the BPS Division. Scholars admitted to the PDW are encouraged to seek additional "matching" funding from other sources.
