�� Shape the IM program: Your reviews help determine which papers appear on the Philadelphia program and showcase the best work in our field.
�� Elevate global scholarship: IM brings together a worldwide community of scholars working on cross-border and cross-cultural management. Think of it as a mini world tour, without the jet lag.
�� Give back (and pay it forward): As submitters, we all benefit from thoughtful, developmental reviews; volunteering to review is a simple way to support the same collegial culture you enjoy.
�� Stay ahead of the curve: Reviewing lets you get a sneak peek at the good stuff. See cutting-edge work before the conference, sparking new ideas for your own projects, courses, and collaborations.
�� Be recognized for service: The IM Division recognizes outstanding contributions with Best Reviewer Awards, so your kindness may even come with a badge of honor. It looks great on a CV, tenure dossier, and occasionally on social media.
☕ Manageable commitment: You will typically be asked to review about three submissions during the late January to mid-February review window.
�� You have support: There are friendly reviewer guidelines, webinars, and resources to walk you through what a good review looks like, step by step. Your "reviewing cheat sheets" can be found here and here.
��️ Warm up for Philly: Think of reviewing as your intellectual "training run" before enjoying Philadelphia's history, neighborhoods, and food with colleagues at the meeting.
Thank you in advance for helping to make the IM program in Philadelphia engaging, rigorous, and vibrant.
