    neuroscience, and business and economics research
    . Evaluation of the state of the field of research in neuroeconomics
    . Presentation of state-of-the-art techniques for solving neuroeconomic

    Empirical as well as conceptual manuscripts are welcome. Manuscripts can be

    Manuscripts submitted for the conference must not currently be under review,
    accepted for publication, or published elsewhere.

    Submission process
    . Manuscripts must be submitted to submission@neuropsychoeconomics.org by
    May 1, 2007.

    presentation at the conference.

    Manuscript submissions must be accompanied by a cover letter that indicates
    the intention to publish the paper, if accepted, either in its entirety in
    the journal NeuroPsychoEconomics (ISSN 1861-4523) or in abstract form in the
    conference proceedings.
    . In your cover letter, please include complete contact information for all

    If a manuscript is accepted, at least one author must agree to appear at the
    conference for presentation and conform to the required final format by the
    due date provided by the Association of NeuroPsychoEconomics.

    Author guidelines
    . All manuscripts will be double-blind reviewed. Therefore, author name(s)
    should appear only on the title page. Authors should avoid revealing their
    identities in the body or reference section of the manuscript. All

    consecutively throughout the entire paper.
    . Manuscripts must not exceed 30 double-spaced, word-processed pages
    (including abstracts, references, figures, tables, and appendices). Allow

    of the second page, followed by an abstract not exceeding 200 words. If your
    manuscript is in German, please provide an English abstract (max. 200 words)
    as well.
    . An extended abstract of about 2-3 pages length begins on the third page.
    The extended abstract will be published in the conference proceedings. It
    should discuss the main results of the manuscript in greater detail than the
    first abstract.
    . In the following main part of the manuscript use bold subheadings to
    structure the paper (e.g., methodology, results, discussion, implications).
    . In-text accentuations - if necessary - should be cursive.
    . Please do not use footnotes or endnotes.
    . Citations in the text should follow Harvard citation style (in brackets).
    For example (Petermann 1996, p. 15). In case of two authors, please connect
    them with "and". For example (Anderson and Weitz 1992, p. 19). In case of
    more than two authors, abbreviate co-authors with "et al.". For example
    (Cahill et al. 1996, p. 8020). In case of more than one source per citation,
    please list those sources using semicolons. For example: (Anderson and Weitz
    1992, p. 19; Burke et al. 1992, p. 277; Kroeber-Riel and Weinberg 2003, p.
    369 f.)

    "COGNITION IN THE ROUGH" 2007

    Are you working on cognition-related research? Would you like to discuss
    your work with major scholars in the field?

    Now is the time to prepare for the 10th annual "COGNITION IN THE ROUGH"
    workshop to be held at the Academy of Management in Philadelphia this
    August.

    The Cognition in the Rough workshop (CIR) provides an excellent opportunity
    to discuss your research in an informal, collegial roundtable setting. Each
    roundtable will have 2-3 scholars and 2-3 researchers, allowing plenty of
    time for discussion. Regardless of whether you are a more senior or more
    junior scholar, this workshop offers you an invaluable opportunity to
    receive detailed feedback from scholars who are often editors or on the
    editorial board of top journals.
    In particular, many past CIR participants have emphasized how much they have
    benefited from their participation in the workshop in terms of developing
    their theoretical models and their planned methodology. This feedback has
    been instrumental in helping them further develop and polish their research
    for publication in top academic journals.

    Whether this is your first major research project or your fiftieth, this is
    a chance you won't want to miss!

    We are very pleased that the following scholars agreed to participate:
    Fran Ackermann, Elena Antonlopoulou, Neal Ashkanasy, Pamela Barr, Andrea
    Casey, Janet Dukerich, Colin Eden, Dov Eden, Marlene Fiol, Peer Fiss, Raghu
    Garud, Gerard Hodgkinson, Susan Houghton, George Huber, Lynn Isabella, Chet
    Miller, Frances Milliken, Ronda Rheger, Kathie Sutcliffe.

    Sponsored by the Managerial and Organizational Cognition Division at the
    annual Academy of Management Meeting in Philadelphia, the workshop will be
    held on Sunday, August 5th from 8:30 AM - 12 PM.
