Deadline for full papers or extended abstracts is 28th January, 1pm AEDT, 2022. Decisions will be communicated by 8th February 2022 and final submissions are due by 25th February 1pm AEDT 2022.

Overall Aims

1. Provide prospective authors with an understanding of what JPIM seeks to publish (meaningful and rigorous scholarly work, focusing on managerial questions in the innovation domain).
2. Provide prospective authors with an understanding of issues that might lead to acceptance or rejection (initial or later round) of a paper.
3. Encourage pre-submission interaction between JPIM editors and potential authors towards alignment of manuscripts with JPIM priorities.
4. Establish a forum for editors to work with prospective authors on manuscripts that are in progress (working papers).
5. Support networking between scholars in the innovation, marketing and management domains and sharing of ideas.
6. Support scholars in learning how to undertake and provide a quality review for Top Tier Journals.

Application Procedure

• To allow for effective idea and paper development, the number of participants will be limited. Participation in the PDW is by application only and will be competitive.
• Inclusion evaluation will focus on potential benefit for the author as well as the potential of the research to make significant theoretical and meaningful contributions to the field of Innovation Management.
• The application should be sent to Dr Mahdi Vesal @ mahdi.vesal@mq.edu.au with the subject line indicating “JPIM PDW”. Please include the following (in one single word file):
  • Cover letter indicating status of the paper (write-up, data collection planned, etc.), research questions, intended contribution and 2 dot points on specific feedback you are seeking.
  • Full working paper or extended abstract (including all authors and their contact details). Abstracts should include research questions addressed, theory and literature review, research design, and expected results and contribution to scholarship in innovation literature.
