11874: Publishing Inductive Qualitative Research in Prominent Academic Journals

This PDW workshop is aimed at fostering information exchange among practitioner scholars interested in publishing inductive qualitative research in prominent academic journals. Practitioner scholars are individuals who pursue rigor in their research process and output as well as produce knowledge that is useful for improved managerial practice. This PDW has been offered for several years now and continues to attract hundreds of scholars each time. The content offered is not predetermined and varies every year depending on the audience’s questions and evolving norms in the field. The workshop will feature scholars with a track record of publishing qualitative research in premier journals. The goal will be to help practitioner scholars to disseminate their ideas through prominent journals, while still encouraging these scholars’ focus on managerial relevance. The conference presenters will lead exchanges around topics such as understanding the expectations of premier journals; conducting a literature review; designing data collection and analysis processes; selecting and working with co-authors; writing a first research draft; refining a manuscript before journal submission; and dealing with the editor and reviewers during the review process.
