In support of the Academy’s values, AOM is open and keen to attract global talent for editorial positions because we value diversity, inclusion, and equity in our international community. The CPC (Content Portfolio Committee), a committee of the Academy of Management Board of Governors, seeks nominees who appreciate diversity in theoretical orientations and empirical contexts, including those that are under-represented, outside the mainstream, and populations of concern that are marginalized or hidden. We seek nominees that adhere to the belief that the full range of social experience must be represented in our scholarship and often these contributions are made by authors and reviewers from diverse backgrounds and locations.

Nomination process and procedures

Nominees may only apply to one of the journals listed above. Nominees who apply to more than one journal will be disqualified.

Nominations must include nominee name(s), full address, telephone number, email address, and current CV. Editor job description and nomination search procedures will be furnished on request.

Nominees may apply individually or as co-editors. Those applying as co-editors must identify both individuals in the team within the application and should submit a joint personal statement as indicated above.

AMD "Open Mic" Virtual Paper Development Workshop
2025-11-17 16:00 - 17:30 (America/New_York)
Academy of Management Discoveries “Open Mic” Virtual Paper Development Workshop

Join this virtual session to share exploratory empirical research related to AMD’s Research Spotlight: From Circularity to Regeneration in Management and Organizations.

Workshop Leaders

Guest coeditors of the Special Research Spotlight: From Circularity to Regeneration in Management and Organizations

Oana Branzei, Western University

Nancy Bocken, Maastricht University

Stefano Pascucci, University of Exeter

Susan Cohen, Deputy Editor, Academy of Management Discoveries

Purpose

We invite scholars of all ages and stages who are interested in publishing empirical exploration in AMD’s Research Spotlight on Circularity to Regeneration to share their work—even if it is not quite ready for prime time! The “Open Mic” format enables you to share the heart of your research project without needing to have all the nuts and bolts worked out and to engage an interested audience and the guest editors. This dynamic, interactive format can quickly surface golden nuggets in your research and assess alignment with AMD’s mission to disseminate empirical discoveries that seed fruitful theorizing. AMD’s Research Spotlights are multiyear commitments to publish compelling empirical discoveries related to an important phenomenon for which existing theory falls short. Even if your research is not quite ready for a March submission deadline, please join us to help supercharge this Spotlight and become part of this community!

Whether you join us as a presenter or audience, registrants are encouraged to read the Research Spotlight call thoroughly and to review select AMD FTEs before attending. We will not spend time reviewing this content during Open Mic.

Agenda

Open Mic will run from 4:00–5:30 PM US Eastern Time on 17 November 2025. An event link will be provided to registrants prior to that date. In 4-5 minutes, presenters will describe the phenomena or puzzle of interest, articulate their compelling research question, explain why it matters and why empirical exploration is warranted, and briefly describe the empirical approach. Don’t be afraid to personalize your research! Engage the audience with a succinct but intriguing description of your study context or data about the phenomenon. The Guest Editors will then engage the audience in a “react and ask” session, for 7 minutes.

Workshop Instructions

If you are interested in having your paper included the workshop, you should prepare a 2–3-page (double-spaced) abstract of your conceptual/theoretical idea that you can share with the facilitators. We also encourage you to prepare a 2-minute presentation of your idea to share at the breakout session that concisely provides the necessary information. We will match 4-5 participants with an Associate Editor or an Editorial Review Board member from the journal. These groups will then discuss the participants’ ideas and provide each participant with insight about how to clarify the paper idea or move the idea forward. The number of participants with accepted abstracts will be limited to 30. Other participants may wish to join the talks or sit in on paper discussions.

Registration Information

Be sure to check the appropriate participation box on the registration form if you plan to share your research.

AMLE publishes theory-driven studies on management learning, management education, or the business of business schools. For empirical papers, this means that where the research sample is composed of learners, they are higher education students in business school(s) or school(s) of management, or they are managers learning in executive contexts. Where the sample is composed of faculty, then they are situated within a business school(s) or school(s) of management.

Purpose

This workshop is geared toward all scholars (PhD students, junior and senior scholars) who are interested in publishing in AMD. In this workshop, we will work with potential authors to determine whether AMD provides the best fit for their ideas, and then help them develop well-crafted ideas potentially suitable for submission to the journal.

The talks will be geared toward providing general information about publishing in AMD, such as 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 papers. Each breakout group will be facilitated by individuals who have editorial and/or publishing experience with the journal. Each participant will be given 2 minutes in which they present a brief overview of their idea, and why they believe the paper fits the AMD mission (AMD Mission Statement). The facilitator will then lead a discussion on the fit of that idea for the target journal, and how it can be developed further to enhance the potential for success. The process of giving and receiving feedback to and from others in their breakout groups will also help participants get a better understanding of crafting ideas into manuscripts for AMD.

Tuesday, December 16, 2025, 8:00 am–6:00 pm PST

Pepperdine University, 24255 Pacific Coast Hwy Malibu, California, USA 90263

Purpose and Agenda

This idea development workshop (IDW) is aimed at those who are interested in publishing in the Academy of Management Annals – the preeminent journal publishing reviews that integrate and redirect fields of study – and the Academy of Management Review – the highest-ranked journal publishing conceptual and theoretical manuscripts. The workshop is open to anyone but is primarily geared toward early career researchers (e.g., assistant professors and postdoctoral fellows) and doctoral students. It is designed to help participants develop great ideas that are the foundation for well-crafted manuscripts suitable for submission to Academy of Management Annals (Annals) or Academy of Management Review (AMR).

The workshop has two parts. Participants can apply to participate in the first part (morning session) only or to participate in the first and second parts (morning and afternoon sessions).

In the first part, we will provide information about publishing in Annals and AMR. The Annals and AMR teams will discuss what makes a successful paper, why papers are rejected, and how to address the core challenges often seen in rejected papers at these respective journals.

In the second part, we offer roundtable discussions of participants’ ideas for papers to be submitted to either Annals or AMR (i.e., you choose which journal you aim to submit your idea to). We will match participants with a facilitator such as an Associate Editor or Editorial Board member from the corresponding journal, who will discuss and provide feedback on your idea. Participation in this part of the workshop is limited.

Registration Information

Application is required for all participants and the deadline to apply is October 10, 2025. To also participate in the roundtable discussions of ideas in the afternoon, please submit a 350-word abstract of your paper idea.
