    • Discuss novel sources of digital trace data such as emails that due to developments in data accessibility and computing power are now appropriate for network analysis
    • Introduce participants to UCINET and other social network analysis tools
    • Guide participants on how to learn more about social network analysis

    Publishing Social Network Research in Top Management Journals PDW

    Please consider joining a PDW on social network analysis/ publishing social network research in top management journals at the upcoming Academy of Management Meeting in Chicago. The session, entitled "Publishing Organizational Network Research: Developing Ideas & Draft Papers for Publication" is hosted by the University of Exeter Centre for Social Networks (ECSN) and the LINKS Center for Social Network Analysis at the University of Kentucky.

    When & Where?

    Saturday, August 10, 2024. 4:45pm – 7:45pm, Royal Room, Fairmont Hotel

    What to expect?

    The workshop will consist of two parts. First, we will host a panel discussion with senior scholars that include members of ECSN and LINKS. Panel members will answer all your questions and share their experiences regarding publishing organizational network research in top management journals.

    Second, you will be allocated to a small group where senior scholars will give you feedback and advice on your research proposal. We will do our best to group participants together based on similar research interests, methods, and preferred senior scholar.

    What to prepare?

    To make the best out of this workshop, participants are kindly requested to develop and share a research proposal with the workshop organisers. The proposal/paper should be a maximum of 3,000 words (excluding references). Please include a list of up to five questions that you would like senior scholars to address regarding your research. We also solicit questions that you would like to ask the panel of senior scholars regarding publishing organizational network research in top management journals. For example, you may like to ask them about their publishing experiences, strategies, successes, and challenges, targeting journals, data collection advice, etc…

    Interested participants are asked to register and submit a draft paper/proposal to Stefano Tasselli, s.tasselli@exeter.ac.uk, prior to July 27, 2024 (two weeks before the in-person workshop). As we want to ensure a good amount of time to discuss each paper we will limit participation to a maximum of 45.
