    Organization Science Paper Development Workshop
    Saturday, October 11, 2008
    Washington, D.C.
    (In conjunction with the Informs Annual Meeting)

    The Editorial Board of Organization Science in collaboration with the College of Organization Science is happy to announce a Paper Development Workshop to be held at the upcoming Informs meeting on Saturday, October 11th, 2008 in Washington, D.C.  (prior to the Organization Science cluster "Conference in a Conference" and in conjunction with the Informs annual meeting).

    The workshop will be held in the afternoon from 1-5 pm and is structured to provide detailed feedback from researchers working in similar areas and generate suggestions for developing the participants' work prior to journal submission. Workshop participants will discuss drafts of their papers in small discussion groups with Senior Editors, members of the Organization Science Editorial Board, and other workshop participants. It  is essential that all participants read the manuscripts for their roundtable session in advance of arriving at the workshop. Each discussion group will be led by a Senior Editor or Senior member of the Editorial Board whose role is to manage the discussion and facilitate the provision of directed and developmental input on the manuscript.

    Workshop participants are also encouraged to attend the "College of Organization Science Conference in a Conference" to be held all day on Sunday, October 12th. Hotel space is extremely limited and information about conference hotel arrangements can be found on the Informs website (http://meetings.informs.org/DC08/) You are encouraged to  book your hotel as soon as possible.

    Submission is as follows: The deadline for submission of your manuscript is September 1st, 2008 but papers can be submitted prior to the deadline. We anticipate accepting no more than 25 submissions so space is limited and early submissions are welcomed and desirable. Preference will be given to members of Informs with written work that is almost ready for submission to a journal (around 30 pages but no more than 45 pages).

    Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format to Tina Dacin, (tdacin@business.queensu.ca). Please indicate in your email the editorial area or keywords that best fit your paper. Papers should not exceed 45 pages in length and must be double-spaced, in 12 point font and should follow the format of Organization Science. Participants will be notified about acceptance for the workshop no later than Friday, September 5th but please make hotel arrangements as early as possible as the room block for Informs typically sells out early.
