We are thrilled to announce that Journal of Business Venturing, Academy of Management Review, and Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice will be running Paper Development Workshops (PDWs) in the lead-up to the ACERE Conference.
When: Tuesday, 9.00am-4.30pm, 7 February 2023, followed by the ACERE Welcome Reception from 5:30pm-7:30pm.
Where: the University of Queensland St Lucia campus, Sir Llew Edwards (Building 14), Room 219
Agenda
The workshop will be divided into two parts. The editors from Journal of Business Venturing (JBV), Academy of Management Review (AMR), and Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice (ETP) will first participate in a joint presentation and a panel discussion. Each editor will provide general information about publishing in their respective journal. The editors will describe what makes a successful paper, the main reasons that papers are rejected, and strategies for addressing the core challenges that editors and reviewers see in rejected submissions. This first part of the workshop is open to anyone to join.
In the second part of the workshop, each editor will host separate and different roundtable sessions in an interactive format and will focus on the development and elaboration of participant’s ideas for their papers. To participate in this portion of the workshop, participants will need to apply prior to the workshop (see details and deadline dates below). In these sessions, participants will work through exercises and activities that will allow them to expand and develop their proposed ideas.
