The 3rd INBAM Conference

The 3rd INBAM Conference will comprise a total of 18 tracks, one for each journal. Each journal editor will open the session with an outline of how to present works for publication in his/her journal. Authors will then go on to present the papers chosen for each session. Full papers covering diverse themes and methodological approaches are welcome. Papers should demonstrate high research quality and reflect the research focus favored by the Conference journals. One of the aims of the Conference is to select papers, depending on the characteristics of the journal and the quality of the papers, which will constitute a special issue of each of the SSCI journals involved in the 18 tracks. Each of the 18 tracks (and consequently the special issues) will have coordinators who will be the guest editors of the special issue. Once the Conference has concluded, the guest editors (as well as the editor-in-chief of the journal) for each track will decide which papers are to be recommended for inclusion in the special issues/section of the corresponding publications. Depending on the quality of submissions, the best papers will be published in the special issues of these SSCI journals. This will make the 2013 Conference and subsequent conferences organized by the Editor Network of the International Network of Business and Management Journals (INBAM) quite unique. The issues/special section will be published in the year after the Conference.
