About the Workshop

This workshop is geared toward all scholars (PhD students, junior and senior scholars) who are interested in publishing in AMD. In this workshop, we will work with potential authors to determine whether AMD provides the best fit for their ideas, and then help them develop well-crafted ideas potentially suitable for submission to the journal.

The plenary sessions will be geared toward providing general information about publishing in AMD, such as what makes a successful paper, the main reasons that papers are rejected, and strategies for addressing the core challenges that editors and reviewers see in rejected papers.

Each breakout group will be facilitated by individuals who have editorial and/or publishing experience with the journal. Each participant will be given 2 minutes in which to present a brief overview of their idea, and why they believe the paper fits the AMD mission (AMD Mission Statement). The facilitator will then lead a discussion on the fit of that idea for the journal, and how it can be developed further to enhance the potential for success. The process of giving and receiving feedback by everyone in a breakout group also will help participants get a better understanding of how to craft ideas into manuscripts for AMD. The template reviewers are encouraged to use for AMD submissions may be found here: AMD Reviewer Template.

Workshop Instructions

Each person whose work is accepted for a breakout session should prepare to share a 1-page document that describes the research question, methods for empirical exploration, and expected/actual findings.. Each person also should prepare a 2-minute presentation for the breakout session. In each session, 4 to 5 participants will be paired with one of the Editors, an Associate Editor or an Editorial Review Board member from the journal. These groups will then discuss the participants’ ideas and provide each participant with insights about how to clarify ideas and move them forward.
