The Eighteenth Annual Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) Paper
Development Workshop (PDW) will be held virtually as part of the
pre-conference program for the Academy of International Business (AIB) 2021
annual meeting. The PDW is the most extensive of the various JIBS outreach
activities conducted by the JIBS editorial team. Organized by Alain Verbeke
(JIBS EIC) and Stav Fainshmidt (Florida International University), the PDW
involves several JIBS Editors and Editorial Review Board (ERB) Members. The
Henley Business School at the University of Reading (U.K.) generously agreed
to act as the sole sponsor of the PDW.  This sponsorship allows the funding
of scholarships for conference registration by promising junior scholars
from developing and emerging economies who have been accepted to participate
in the PDW.

The purpose of the PDW is to provide junior scholars with developmental
feedback on their current research papers in IB studies. While we hope that
many of these papers will eventually be submitted to JIBS, the purpose of
the PDW is broader: to improve the quality of IB research and to bring new
scholars successfully into the IB field. We invite original papers from
junior scholars who have not previously published in JIBS, especially those
located in universities in emerging and developing economies.

The PDW will be structured to provide extensive feedback to authors whose
research papers have been accepted by the workshop organizers. Because the
Annual Meeting will take place only online, the program will focus on the
key component of decentralized virtual roundtables. During a 90-minute
session on or prior to June 26th, groups of two authors (with substantively
related papers) will be paired with groups of two JIBS Editors/ERB Members,
whereby each individual paper will receive attention from each paired
Editor/ERB Member. The emphasis will be on how to improve the papers
discussed, so as to increase the probability of acceptance by a journal in
the ecosystem of IB journals. In addition, we will circulate to the PDW
participants a set of recorded presentations by JIBS editors on pertinent
topics such as publication ethics and data practices.

Only a limited number of manuscripts will be accepted for the PDW. Papers
should be submitted through the JIBS Workshop Submission System located at
