    Reviewing for OB

    The OB community aims to provide high-quality, developmental feedback to submitters. To achieve this aim, however, we need your support. Please sign up to review for the OB Division in early December 2025. Your reviewer assignment will be based on the keywords that you indicate to be your areas of expertise. We are grateful for your willingness to volunteer and contribute to the program in this important way. To help you, we will provide reviewers with helpful guidance to complete a review of a conference paper, symposium, or PDW.

    Description of Paper, Poster, and Symposia Submissions

    The scholarly program at AOM's annual meeting consists primarily of three main types of sessions, paper sessions, poster sessions (new this year), and symposia:

    1. Paper sessions are composed of presentations of original and fully developed manuscripts. Author(s) submit a manuscript for consideration to be included in the annual meeting's scholarly program. If accepted, the manuscript is typically assigned by the Program Chair to a session that includes other papers on related topics.
    2. Poster sessions are composed of presentations intended to foster professional connections and immediate feedback. This format is ideal for (but not limited to) early career scholars and first-time AOM attendees. Author(s) submit an extended abstract manuscript. If accepted, participants will prepare a visually engaging poster summarizing their research findings, methods, and conclusions. These posters often feature graphs, images, and text to clearly present the information and facilitate discussions.
    3. Symposia can be submitted as either panel or presenter format:
      • Panel Symposia
      • Presenter Symposia

    Additional details about the submission process can be found here.

    Direct any questions about the submission process to the OB Division's Program Chair, Marie Mitchell, or the OB Division's PDW and Symposium Chair, Jennifer Nahrgang.
