We are delighted to invite submissions for participation in the ACERE 2027 Paper Development Workshops. These provide an excellent opportunity to receive developmental feedback on your research. Authors are welcome and encouraged to submit work in progress, which may differ to your main conference submission.
Submissions are due 30 November 2026.
Format
The ACERE Paper Development Workshops (PDWs) will provide the opportunity to receive round-table feedback from senior academics. The workshop will also include presentations from journal editors and a panel discussion with senior scholars.

Selection for the PDWs will be competitive, based on quality and fit with the journal. Authors will be asked to provide an ordered preference of journal pairing.
