II. Paper Development Workshops (PDW)
The Kean University End-of-Year Faculty Research Conference will organize a Paper Development Workshop (PDW) as part of the conference. We invite interested faculty to submit their papers or proposals at the following link by March 1, 2023.
Who is the event for?
The goal of the PDW is to provide scholars with practical and developmental feedback on their current research to strengthen the paper. Selected will be distributed to experienced academics ahead of the session who will review the paper and provide quality feedback to the author in session.
We invite submission of original completed working papers paper but preference will be given to three categories listed below:
- General papers that are qualitative or quantitative in nature
- Revitalizing senior faculty research: Looking for leverage for publishing your research in top-ranked journals? This PDW seeks papers from senior faculty who wish to improve the odds of publishing in high-quality journals. Selected papers will be reviewed and will receive feedback from experienced faculty in their respective field.
- Emerging faculty research kick-start: Looking to break the ice with publishing your research in top-ranked journals? This PDW seeks papers from newer scholars (who have 3 or fewer publications) who want to target Q2 and Q1 journals as their next outlet for publication.
How is the event structured?
The PDW will be a 2-hour session, during which 4 papers will be selected for analysis and discussion. Each author will have 10 minutes to introduce their paper, followed by a 20-minute discussion with the reviewers. The emphasis will be on improving the papers discussed to increase the probability of acceptance by a journal.
What is the application and participation process?
To participate in the PDW, we invite faculty to upload a working paper (word format) of up to 8,000 words, including the abstract of 300 words, which should contain the purpose of the paper, the theoretical background and, for empirical papers, the methodological approach.
Contact or who do I contact if I have questions?
