Do you have an idea for a theory paper but aren't sure where to start, or a theory draft that's not moving forward? Do you worry about finding a high-impact journal that will publish your theory piece? Writing and publishing theoretical work can be challenging, and high-impact journals that publish theory pieces may seem scarce. If this resonates, this Professional Development Workshop (PDW), Demystifying Theory Development and Publication: How to Write a Theory Paper and Where to Submit It, is for you! This session, which will be held on Friday, August 9, 2024 from 11:30AM -1:00PM at the 2024 Academy of Management (AOM) Annual Meeting in Chicago, will provide insights on developing and refining ideas for theoretical work, planning and writing the paper, navigating the review process, and publishing in various theory outlets.
In the first half of the session, editors Dave Collings, Brian Boyd, and Lamar Pierce from Journal of Management, Journal of Management Studies, and Organization Science, will discuss the role of theory papers in their respective journals.
