Reviewing is a critical “professional responsibility” and an integral part of participating in the academic community (Trevino, 2008). Yet Tsang and Frey (2007: 129) noted that “there is no formal training for referees who usually pick up their review skills through learning by doing.” This raises a perplexing question for doctoral students and junior faculty: how can one develop critical reviewing skills with so few opportunities to practice the art of reviewing? This PDW provides participants with a rare opportunity to learn and practice the art of reviewing. Prior to the conference, participants will be asked to prepare a practice review of the manuscript by Harrison, Askin, and Hagtvegt (2023) titled, “Recognition killed the radio star? Recognition orientations and sustained creativity after the Best New Artist Grammy nomination”, published in the Administrative Science Quarterly. The actual workshop will consist of two parts: (1) presentations and (2) group discussions. The panel will offer key insights about the review process and quality reviewing from scholars who have served as Associate Editors and Editorial Board Members at leading journals in our field. Dr. Spencer Harrison and Dr. Noah Askin will provide background information about the original submission of their manuscript. Participants will then break into small groups, each facilitated by an experienced faculty member, to discuss and receive feedback on their formal reviews. The PDW will conclude with Dr. Harrison and Dr. Askin sharing actual reviews the author team received and how they helped shape the final manuscript.

Participants will be required to conduct a review of a paper to be able to attend Part 2 of the session. Please respond to this survey: https://erasmusuniversity.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6E8z3OkTBpvMJ2S or contact the organizers at supriya.madhavan@essec.edu to request for a copy of the paper to be reviewed. Please use "MOC RIR" in the subject of your email. Thank you.
