The Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education will offer a half
day workshop to help authors develop articles appropriate for submission
to the journal.
    The Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education is a peer-reviewed
journal published by the Decision Sciences Institute. Its mission is to
publish significant research relevant to teaching and learning issues in
the decision sciences. The decision sciences include both quantitative and
behavioral approaches to managerial decision making, encompassing all of
the functional areas of business, including (but not limited to)
accounting, business strategy and entrepreneurship, economics, finance,
international business and globalization, marketing, MIS/DSS and computer
systems, organizational behavior/organizational design, operations and
logistics management, quantitative methods and statistics.
During the workshop, authors of pre-selected papers and abstracts will
have the opportunity to work in small groups with the associate editors
and experienced reviewers to develop and enhance their ideas and
presentation. In order to provide an opportunity for authors to receive
appropriate feedback and ask questions, a maximum of 6-8 papers and 12
extended abstracts will be accepted.
Authors interested in participating in the workshop must submit an
electronic paper or extended abstract no later than September 15, 2008 to
Barbara Price: baprice@georgiasouthern.edu. The DSJIE editorial team
will notify authors of acceptance to the workshop prior to the DSI 2008
early registration deadline.
Submitting a Paper:
We seek papers appropriate for publication in DSJIE. Therefore, the paper
should fit the guidelines found on the DSJIE website (www.dsjie.org ) and
be an empirical research paper, a case study research paper, a
conceptual/theoretical article, or a teaching brief. Recall that "the
mission of the journal is to publish significant research relevant to
teaching and learning issues in the decision sciences." Papers that have
been submitted to or accepted for presentation at DSI 2008 or other
conferences are appropriate if they fit the guidelines for DSJIE
submissions. Abstracts of submissions to the instructional innovation
award competition are also welcome. The workshop is an ideal venue to
work on developing a conference paper for possible publication in DSJIE.
Submitting an Abstract:
If your ideas for a submission to DSJIE are in draft stage, not yet fully
developed, and you would like to discuss the outline with the panel of
editors/reviewers, you are encouraged to submit an extended abstract.
Your abstract should be between 2 and 4 pages double spaced.
All submissions should indicate the type of paper: empirical research,
case study research, conceptual/theoretical, or teaching brief. Work that
is under review or revision at DSJIE or other journals should not be
submitted.
Accepted papers and abstracts will be assigned to small working groups
that will consisting of an editor/associate editor, an experienced
reviewer, and possibly a DSJIE published author and a maximum of three
papers/abstracts. Workshop participants much register for DSI 2008 and
are expected to attend the entire workshop.
