Individual Paper Submissions
The program committee welcomes proposals that feature high quality
theoretical, qualitative, or quantitative research. Empirical proposals will
be evaluated based on the significance and quality of the research question,
design, methods, data, and implications. The program committee also
welcomes theoretical proposals. Theoretical paper ought to provide insight
into a compelling public management subject, identify foundational
assumptions and key concepts, and result in testable hypotheses.
Full Panel Submissions
The program committee encourages the submission of complete panels
consisting of four individual papers. Panel submissions should bring
together complementary papers that tackle compelling research questions or
subjects of study in public management. The panel organizer will formally
make the submission on behalf of the full panel. The panel organizer will
also provide information on the overall theme of the panel and indicate how
each of the proposed papers connects to the panel's theme. Each of the
papers in the panel will be evaluated separately on whether the piece meets
the criteria for individual paper submissions. The program committee may
drop or add papers to proposed panels.
Additional Information
All proposals will be evaluated using a double-blind peer review process
with the program committee serving as the evaluators. Proposals should be
no more than 400 words. Participants will be able to choose to submit a
paper or panel. A person may submit no more than two proposals (including
both single-authored and co-authored papers). Individuals will be limited
to two acceptances. The online submission system will be available at the
conference website beginning October 1. All proposals must be submitted no
later than November 30, 2012. Notifications of proposal acceptance or denial
will be sent by January 31, 2013. If a proposal is accepted, the presenter
