6th EurOMA Workshop on Journal Publishing in Operations Management 1


Overview

The Workshop on Journal Publishing in Operations Management is made up of two independent but related modules. Participants can attend either of the two modules or both. We welcome in particular faculty in the field of Operations Management (OM), who wish to increase the quality of their publications in recognised international academic journals in the field.

Module 1 aims to provide broad guidelines to develop the conference paper into a journal paper. It is part of the EurOMA 2013 Annual Conference and will be held in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland on June 08 2013.

Module I - Developing your conference paper
DETAIL

The Publishing Workshop Process – Module I

Academics are judged on their ability to produce research papers appearing in good-quality international journals. These publications are also the basis of Business School and University prestige and success. Module I of the Publishing Workshop process has three specific steps:
  1. Writing
    The Publishing Workshop process starts with a EurOMA conference abstract which has been accepted for the main conference programme and also for the Publishing Workshop. The conference paper forms the basis for participation in the Publishing Workshop. For Module I, each paper will be allocated to a reviewer or journal editorial board member as Discussant, who will comment on the content and clarity of presentation of the ideas.
  2. Overview of the submission and review process
    The workshop will start with a session with reviewers and members of the editorial boards, where participants will be briefed on the editorial policy, publication process and strategies for submission.
  3. Small Group Discussions
    Discussion of each paper will follow, in small group sessions. These sessions will enable participants to obtain feedback on their papers from the reviewers and editorial board members, as well as from other Workshop participants in the same track. The suggestions for further development will allow authors to identify the key steps to bring the paper up to publication standards. There is, of course, no certainty of subsequent publication as a result of the participation in the Workshop since the journals’ blind review is the only process that leads to the acceptance of a paper for publication.
