• 13:00 Session 1: Feedback session for early-stage research
o To qualify for this feedback session, each participant needs to submit his/her resume and an extended abstract describing the research idea, the status of the research, and the types of feedback he/she hopes to obtain at https://forms.office.com/r/AzZEWrrwfW.
o In each group, one of the four participants is the responsible mentor for the other three junior scholars, each of whom will use 20 minutes or so to present his/her
research idea and initial design/outcomes. The mentor will offer oral feedback to each of the three presenters, using no more than 10 minutes.
• 15:00 Break (20min)
• 15:20 Session 2: Feedback session for advanced-stage research (120 min, groups of four people, including a break in the middle)
o To qualify for this feedback session, each participant needs to submit his/her resume and a full working paper at https://forms.office.com/r/AzZEWrrwfW. The participant also should include target journals for the paper, if that information is available, which could help the mentor offer critiques that better align with the authors’ needs. The PDW organizing committee will then share the submission with a mentor, who needs to prepare written feedback for the paper before the PDW.
o In each group, one of the four participants is the responsible mentor for the other three scholars, each of whom will use 20 minutes or so to present his/her draft research paper with results. The mentor will offer BOTH written and oral feedback to each of the three presenters, using no more than 10 minutes.
• 18:00 Joint dinner
The two panels and two feedback sessions are open to all conference registrants, no matter whether you submit your research to the conference or not. However, to benefit more from the two feedback sessions in the afternoon, you are strongly encouraged to submit either an early-stage project, as an extended abstract (less than 1000 words), or a late-stage project, as a working paper, or both. If you plan to do so, please upload your extended abstract and/or your working paper, plus your resume, at the conference registration link https://forms.office.com/r/AzZEWrrwfW by May 1st, 2023. Note that the acceptance of your submission, which will be notified by May 15th, 2023, is a prerequisite for you to present your research in one or both feedback sessions and receive high-quality feedback from mentors.
The registration fee for this event is 1200 RMB for faculty members and 800 RMB for graduate students, which covers the coffee/tea/snack and the dinner on Friday, irrespective of whether you submit an extended abstract or a working paper to the conference or not. Once you have registered for the conference, you will receive an email about how to pay for the conference registration fee.
Prior to the event, there will be one assigned mentor for each accepted extended abstract and working paper. The mentor is expected to provide written feedback on a printed version of the research (three abstracts/working papers per mentor in each session at most) and bring the written feedback to the event. Upon feedback from mentors, the Co-Editor in Chiefs of JSCM will invite some working papers to be submitted to the Journal of Supply Chain Management.
Upon completion of the workshop, attendees will have the opportunity to obtain a certificate of attendance.
We understand that some participants may have travel restrictions (e.g., visa), and we are happy to provide a remote option as a backup solution. However, please keep in mind that attending in person allows for greater interaction and collaboration with other participants.
We are committed to minimizing the carbon footprint of this workshop. We strongly urge you to consider alternative modes of transportation instead of flying, as air travel is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Wuhan is easily accessible via train and bus connections from major cities in China. Together, we can work towards a more sustainable future by reducing our impact on the environment.
Similar JSCM workshops are planned for or have been held in North America, Latin America, and Europe. Stay tuned for more information and opportunities to participate in these events.
About Journal of Supply Chain Management:
Journal of Supply Chain Management (JSCM) was launched as the International Journal of Purchasing and Materials Management in 1965. Like its title, the Journal’s mission has adapted to the changing nature of the discipline. Our global economic system is facing an unprecedented transformation, and supply chains play a key role in this journey. JSCM is the journal of choice among supply chain management scholars, attracting high-quality, high-impact empirical research focusing on theory-building and empirical methodologies. As a global journal, JCSM welcomes submissions from researchers with a diversity of demographic (i.e. gender, nationality, etc.) and professional (i.e. university, academic discipline, research methodologies, etc.) backgrounds. JSCM welcomes interdisciplinary studies that push the boundaries of knowledge by focusing on emerging phenomena and/or using novel approaches to examine established phenomena.
Over the past decade, JCSM has often been ranked first or second among supply chain and operations management journals based on its Clarivate Impact Factor. It is one of only four empirical OSCM journals included in the SCM Journal List (http://www.scmlist.com/). JSCM is also ranked as a 4 (“top journal”) in the British ABS/AJG list.
