Submission Guidelines

Manuscripts should be submitted online via EASYCHAIR.

The 2023 JPIM Research Forum will consider the following types of submissions:

  1. Competitive Papers : Submissions of fully developed papers are appropriate for consideration for competitive sessions. Competitive papers must be 10 – 20 pages, including appendices and references. These papers will be presented in formal competitive session formats. Please note that reviewers might consider less-developed papers as part of the developmental papers submissions, they will therefore be presented in a more interactive session format.
  2. Developmental Papers : Shorter manuscripts or work-in-progress that could benefit from informal feedback from other participants and the JPIM editorial team are appropriate for submission as a developmental paper. These papers will be presented in an interactive session held in roundtable discussion format that allows for interaction with other researchers with similar interests. Papers should be at least 5 pages but no more than 10 pages long.
  3. Special Session Proposals : We welcome proposals for special topic/panel sessions. Emerging topics on innovation in times of dynamic change and global challenges are particularly welcomed. A proposal, no more than 5 pages, should include:
    • the title of the proposed special session
    • names and affiliations of presenters
    • a brief description of the session theme, its relevance and importance to product innovation and management (no more than 500 words)
    • title, author names and affiliations and abstract (no more than 200 words) of each presentation (3-4 presentations)

Selection of special topics/ panel sessions will be limited and based on relevance and quality of the topic proposed. We encourage the submission of new topics that are important in advancing the field of new product development and innovation management.

For your online submission, adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Each manuscript should be accompanied with an abstract, not to exceed 200 words.
  • Submissions must be formatted as follows: Letter sized page (8.5″x11″ or 216×279 mm), with one-inch (2.5 cm) margins, double-spaced, 12-point font.
  • Upload a single anonymized PDF file
  • Do NOT include any author information in the uploaded PDF
  • Structure of the paper:
    • Cover Page: Title, Abstract, Keywords

  • For manuscript preparation, please refer to JPIM’s guidelines

Competitive and developmental paper submissions will be double-blind reviewed. Special sessions proposals will be reviewed by the conference co-chairs.
