Do you have a great paper that seems to be going nowhere? A paper that has been rejected from a journal or two, is under R&R, or almost ready for submission but there is a conceptual and/or empirical issue that you would appreciate getting advice from a senior faculty member? Do you have a great empirical result but a theoretical contribution that does not seem to be sufficient for an A-level journal? Are you having trouble deciding how to develop your paper because you received contradicting reviews? Are there any outlets you did not consider? Is there a potential theoretical contribution that you have missed? Or is it time to put the article in the back of your file drawer and stop throwing good time after bad?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, this PDW is for you!
Several senior, highly experienced scholars will help you make this decision, and give you some direction.
This Professional Development Workshop is addressed to junior scholars who seek to further improve their research. Specifically, it seeks to help scholars who are struggling with the development of a paper and need to decide whether and how to continue and invest time in the paper or bite the bullet and let it go.
Please email your materials to the following email address: pdw@kellogg.northwestern.edu
Deadline for submission: July 3rd.
