Thirteenth Annual JIBS Paper Development Workshop
Monday, June 27, 2016, AIB Annual Conference, New Orleans


CALL FOR PAPERS <http://aib.msu.edu/events/2016/JIBSWorkshop.asp> 


The Thirteenth Annual Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) Paper
Development Workshop (PDW) will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA from
9:00 am to 3:00 pm on Monday, June 27, 2016, as part of the pre-conference
program for the Academy of International Business (AIB) annual meetings. The
PDW is the most extensive of the various JIBS outreach activities conducted
by the JIBS editorial team. Organized by Petra Christmann, John Cantwell,
and Alexandra Vo (all of Rutgers University), the PDW involves most of the
JIBS editors and many board members, and is sponsored by the AIB,
D'Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University, and Rutgers
Business School.

The purpose of the PDW is to provide junior scholars with developmental
feedback on their current research projects in international business
studies. While we hope that many of these papers will be eventually
submitted to JIBS, the purpose of the PDW is broader: to improve the quality
of IB research and bring new scholars into the IB field. We invite original
papers from junior scholars who have not previously published in JIBS. In
particular, we hope to attract papers from scholars (1) who are located in
universities in emerging economies or in universities that offer limited
support for international business research, or (2) who are trained in
disciplines less commonly associated with the field (e.g. human geography,
political science, ethnography, or economic history) but interested in
conducting international business research.

The PDW will be structured to provide feedback to authors with research
papers, and to researchers who are designing empirical studies, on
international business topics. Last year, participants received feedback on
their work from about 30 JIBS editors and members of the Consulting Editors
Board (CEB) and Editorial Review Board (ERB). The program will start with an
introductory session led by the JIBS editorial team and JIBS authors. The
participants will then divide into two groups. Authors of full research
papers will be paired with CEB and ERB guest editors for two-on-two
discussions where two guest editors will provide feedback to two authors on
improving their paper. At the same time, authors with paper ideas will meet
with CEB and ERB guest editors in a small-group setting where two editors
will provide feedback to five or more authors on their research paper ideas.
After a lunch break, all participants will split into small-group sessions
with JIBS editors to discuss successful publication strategies.

Participation at the PDW is limited. Participants will be invited based on
the quality of their submitted work. We are expecting two types of
submissions, full research papers and paper ideas. Papers and ideas should
be submitted through the JIBS Workshop Submission System located at
<http://meetings.aib.msu.edu/JIBS/2016/>
http://meetings.aib.msu.edu/JIBS/2016/. Please note that each applicant
should make one submission only - either a full research paper or a paper
idea to the JIBS PDW Submission System. The deadline for submissions is
February 1, 2016 in your time zone. Research papers must be less than 10,000
words in length, and follow the JIBS Style Guide (
<http://www.palgrave-journals.com/jibs/style_guide.html>
http://www.palgrave-journals.com/jibs/style_guide.html). Paper ideas must be
no more than 3,000 words in length and include a theoretical framework,
propositions, and proposed research design.

Participants will be notified about the acceptance of their submissions no
later than March 1, 2016 and will need to confirm their participation in the
PDW by April 1, 2016. Preference will be given to participants who have not
attended any of our JIBS PDWs in the past. Manuscript authors who have
applied to our PDWs in the past but were not accepted to the PDW should make
sure that they submit a different paper to this year's PDW.

Please note that you need to register for the AIB conference in order to
participate in the JIBS PDW. Also note that AJBS Conference, Junior Faculty
Consortium and Doctoral Consortium run in parallel with the JIBS PDW,
therefore it will not be possible to participate in the JIBS PDW if you are
participating in any of the other aforementioned events.
