Happy New Year, MOCers!
Here's a New Year's resolution that you can keep: Submit your MOC paper
or symposium early (avoid the Jan. 9th deadline rush) and sign on to be a
reviewer -- we really need you! Here's how to do it...
The submission process entails three critical steps. First you must
register submissions on the AOM web page (creating a system login,
entering authors, abstracts, and other critical information at
http://submissions.aomonline.org/2006). Second, the documents must be
uploaded (papers or symposia). Third, all submissions must be "finalized"
to indicate that you have completed all the information correctly and will
abide by conference rules (rule of 3, etc.). While the overall process is
simplified from previous years, more of it will take place through the AOM
web page (as opposed to separate division systems). There is likely to be
a lot of last minute traffic on the AOM server and an early start may be
even more important than usual.
Although MOC has no separate submission guidelines (from those of the
Academy), we have posted some useful information and tips on the MOC web
page (see
http://division.aomonline.org/moc/). Below, you'll find the
submission checklist (which is also on the website). Please follow it
carefully because submissions that don't meet the guidelines are likely
to be rejected by the system.
Finally, as part of the submission process, you will be asked to review
for the conference (http://program.aomonline.org/reviewers) - we really
need your help with this. Please sign on and commit to being part of the
program. The MOC division will generally not send more than 3
manuscripts to any reviewer and will avoid sending manuscripts to
reviewers who appear to be over-committed (e.g., registered for 4 or more
divisions). If you need to adjust your reviewing commitment, you can log
in to the reviewer system and make any changes. Please help us uphold
MOC's reputation for doing timely, high-quality reviews (...and there are
awards for reviewers!).
If you have further questions, please email me at:
moc2006@bus.emory.edu.
I'm looking forward to welcoming you to Atlanta next August.
In the meantime, wishing you all the best in the new year.

submissions:
