I. Paper Submission Guidelines

A. What is a “paper”?

A paper refers to a fully developed manuscript on a scholarly topic. Papers represent the majority of the submissions and form the most scholarly sessions on the program. Accepted papers are organized into four types of session: Divisional Presentation Paper Sessions; Divisional Roundtable Paper Sessions, Cross Divisional Paper Sessions and Discussion Sessions. 

B. Submission Rules for Papers 

  • Each paper can be submitted to only ONE division or interest group.
  • Submitted papers must NOT have been previously presented, scheduled for presentation, published, or accepted for publication. If a paper is under review, it must NOT appear in print before the Academy meeting.
  • NO changes in the paper title, abstract, authorship, and actual paper can occur AFTER the submission deadline.

C. Formatting your paper.

Please follow these guidelines to ensure your paper is reviewed. Papers that are not prepared according to these formatting instructions will NOT be reviewed. 

  • The entire paper (title page, abstract, main text, figures, tables, references, etc.) must be in ONE document using one of the following formats:
    • Portable Document Format (.PDF), Microsoft Word (.DOC), Rich Text Format (.RTF)
  • Name the file to reflect the Academy assigned 5-digit electronic submission ID number (e.g. 12345.doc)
  • The maximum length of the paper is 40 pages (including ALL tables, appendices and references).
  • The format for tables and figures, references, and appendices should follow the Academy of Management Journal’s Style Guide.
  • Use Times New Roman 12-pitch font, double spaced, 1-inch (2.5 cm) margin all around, and 8 1/5 by 11 page setting..
  • Record the 5-digit electronic submission ID number as the header on all of the pages.
  • Number all of the pages of the paper.
  • To facilitate the blind review process, remove ALL author-identifying information from the uploaded document, including acknowledgements, since this is the document that the reviewers will be reading.
  • Check that the paper prints correctly (i.e., all imported figures and tables appear), and ensure that the file is virus-free.
