Participation Policies

If a paper is submitted and subsequently accepted, the author agrees to present the paper at the time scheduled in the program or find an appropriate substitute to present the paper. All participants are expected to register for the meeting. Asia OD Network policy states that any paper that has been (or will be) presented at any other academic meeting or that has been published before the time of presentation, is to be automatically rejected. Presentation of papers does not preclude subsequent journal publication when acknowledgment is made of the paper's presentation at the Annual Meeting of the Asia OD Network. Based on reviewer recommendations, one paper submitted by a graduate student (single authored paper or jointly with other graduate students) will be selected for the Outstanding Graduate Student Paper Award. A similar process will be used to select the Outstanding Paper submitted by faculty or professional members, based on the paper's conceptual and methodological quality and overall contribution to the field. Finally, an award will be given for the Outstanding Reviewer of the conference. These awards will be presented at the Awards Luncheon.

All submissions must be submitted electronically as MS-Word e-mail attachments to the appropriate track chair listed. Submissions intended for review are to be double-spaced, no less than 12 point font, 1" margins, and are limited to 30 pages for original papers (including references, tables and figures) and 5 pages for panel sessions and symposia (i.e., purpose, members, description and relevance of topic). Please be certain to indicate in your e-mail the preferred e-mail address for the review information and the decision letter. Please put the entire paper, tables and figures in a single Word file with all pages in 8½ by 11 inch format. Check the file for viruses prior to submitting. Please ensure all papers submitted for consideration follow the guidelines contained in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.

Attach two electronic copies of your submission: One with a title page containing author-identifying contact information in single-spaced “camera-ready” format and one double-spaced without the author identifying title page for review.

For the electronic copy containing author-identifying information, please use single spaced, size 12 Times New Roman Font. References should be single-spaced with a hanging indent leaving a space between entries. The file should be “camera ready”. If your paper is accepted, this file containing author-identifying information will be sent to the Proceedings Editor.

For the electronic copy intended for double-blind review, please submit a double-spaced version with author identifying information removed. Please follow the submission procedures similar to the Academy of Management Journal with respect to removing identifying information from the electronic file including information contained in the “Properties” of the MS-Word file and “running head” information that may identify the author(s).

Papers solely authored by graduate students must be identified as such in the e-mail message when submitting your work for Outstanding Graduate Student Paper Award consideration.

This year the sessions related to Professional development proposals should be 3-7 pages (not including exhibits or references) and should include:
