18th Journal Publishing Workshop

Overview

The 18th EurOMA Journal Publishing Workshop – Module 1 is especially organised for faculty in the field of Operations Management (OM), who wish to increase the quality of their publications in recognized international academic journals in the field.

Date: Saturday 14 June 2025
Location: Politecnico di Milano, Campus Bovisa, Italy

The Publishing Workshop process has three specific steps:

Step 1: Writing

The Publishing Workshop process starts with the application of participation with the accepted EurOMA conference abstract. Following acceptance, each participant develops the abstract into the conference paper. This paper forms the basis for participation in the Publishing Workshop. In the workshop, each paper is allocated to a reviewer or journal editorial board member as discussant, who comments on the content and clarity of the presentation of ideas.

Step 2: Overview of the submission and review process

The workshop starts with a session with reviewers and members of the editorial boards of some recognized OM journals, where participants are briefed on the editorial policy, publication process and strategies for submission.

Step 3: Small Group Discussions

Discussion of each paper follows in small group sessions. These sessions enable participants to obtain feedback on their papers from the reviewers and editorial board members, as well as from other workshop participants in the same track. The suggestions for further development allow authors to identify the key steps to bring the paper up to publication standards. There is, of course, no certainty of subsequent publication as a result of participation in the Publishing Workshop since the journals’ blind review is the only process that leads to the acceptance of a paper for publication.

APPLICATION, SUBMISSION AND REVIEW

To apply for participation in the Publishing Workshop, applicants must submit their accepted conference abstract by e-mail no later than 8 April 2025 to Professor Juliana Hsuan at jh.om@cbs.dk

The acceptance decision is based on three criteria:

1. Relevance and fit with the scope of the journal(s)
2. Quality
3. Opportunity for increasing participation by researchers for whom English is not a first language
