Objective of Workshop
The goal of this PDW session is to advance the careers of junior faculty - especially those in under-represented groups - by helping them publish diversity research in top-tier academic journals. This workshop will offer participants a chance to have their work reviewed by leading scholars in the field. These scholars have served as editors, associate editors and editorial board members of leading journals, such as ASQ, AMJ, AMR, JAP, Organization Science, Organization Studies, Journal of Management Studies, Personnel Psychology, Journal of Management, Journal of Organizational Behavior, OBHDP, Organizational Research Methods, Human Resource Management, Journal of Vocational Behavior, Human Relations, Organization Studies, Journal of Business and Psychology, Journal of Business Ethics and Organization.
Manuscript Submission Process
Due to the intense nature of the review process, a limited number of manuscripts will be selected for the workshop. Manuscripts will be selected based on the following criteria: (1) they are within the content domain of DEI, (2) they are not currently under journal review, and (3) they are in near-final form for submission to a refereed journal. Although authors may submit more than one manuscript, only one per author will be selected for the workshop. We will give priority to junior faculty who are first authors of the manuscript, and they should also provide a focus for the review process by describing a particular dilemma, question, or concern they would like the reviewers to discuss, as well as the name of the targeted journal.
This session is aimed at junior faculty, but doctoral students are encouraged to attend the session in order to learn about the review process. People can attend this session without having a manuscript under review, but all attendees need to register for the session and be willing to read the at least two manuscripts prior to the session. We have limited seats for participants who therefore will be selected on the basis of 'first-in first-served'. Early registration is encouraged!
Junior faculty who wish to participate in this workshop must submit their manuscripts to Raymond Trau (raymond.trau@mq.edu.au) by June 18th, 2025 in order to provide adequate time for selecting manuscripts and the review process.
Session Description
Authors, discussants/reviewers and scribes (who write notes and report back to the large group on key insights) will be assigned to review tables based on either the topic or the targeted journal. All participants will be asked to read the manuscript(s) that will be discussed at their table before coming to the session in order to provide helpful feedback to the authors. Each participant will have the opportunity to participate in two reviews over the course of the session.
This session will also offer an important opportunity to discuss core principles and practices of publishing diversity research. Authors and other participants will gain important insights into the publication process and will be able to network with diversity scholars, review board members and journal editors.
We hope you can join us for this day of development. It is all about you!
