    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 session will offer participants a chance to have their work reviewed by some of the leading scholars in our field including current and past
    editors of several major journals in our field, such as ASQ, JAP, Organization Science, Group and Organization Management, British Journal of Management, AMLE, and Organization. Deadline for registration and submission of manuscripts is June 15th, 2010. Please contact Raymond Trau at raymond.trau@sydney.edu.au for registration and questions about manuscript submission.

    Manuscript Submission Process

    Manuscripts will be selected based on the following criteria: (1) they are within the content domain of GDO, (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 review. Authors will also provide a focus for the review process by describing a particular dilemma, question, or concern s/he would like the reviewers to discuss, as well as the name of the targeted journal. Due to the intense nature of the review process, a limited number of manuscripts will be selected for review.

    This session is aimed primarily at junior faculty, but doctoral students are encouraged to attend this session in order to learn about the review process. Individuals may register and attend this session without having a manuscript under review in order to gain insights into the review process. All participants must pre-register for this session.

    Junior faculty who wish to participate in this session must submit their manuscripts to Raymond Trau (raymond.trau@sydney.edu.au) by June 15th, 2010 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 different 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.

    This session will offer an important opportunity to discuss major principles and practices of publishing diversity research. Authors and other participants will gain key insights into the publication process and will be able to network with diversity scholars, review board members and journal editors.
