  Academy of Management Discoveries (AMD)
• Other Associate Editors, Editorial Review Board members, and Authors from the journal will be in attendance

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.

Plenary sessions

The plenary sessions 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.

Submission and Registration Information:

Abstract submission deadline for submitting authors: All participants seeking feedback in the breakout sessions must submit extended abstracts for review by 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time on 2 February 2026. These extended abstracts should be no longer than four double-spaced pages and convey the essence of the research questions, the pertinent research that is missing from existing literature, proposed/actual empirical methods, and expected/actual empirical findings.

The extended abstracts should be submitted using this link: https://form.jotform.com/253484046923158

Breakout sessions and Workshop instructions

In each breakout group, four to six participants will be paired with a facilitator with editorial experience at AMD (a Coeditor or Associate Editor from the journal). See the overview below. Each person whose work is accepted for a breakout session should prepare and bring 10 printed copies of a 1-page summary that describes the research question, methods for empirical exploration, and expected/actual findings. Each participant also should prepare a 2-minute presentation in which to present a brief overview of their idea, and why they believe the paper fits the AMD mission. The facilitator will then lead a discussion (30 minutes per paper) on the fit of that idea for the journal, and how it can be developed further to enhance the potential for success. The process of giving and receiving feedback by everyone in a breakout group also will help participants get a better understanding of how to craft ideas into manuscripts for AMD. The template reviewers are encouraged to use for AMD submissions may be found here: AMD reviewer template. To enable participants in your breakout group to prepare for your presentation, you may also share your extended abstract within your breakout group ahead of the PDW using the email list provided.
