CGIR Paper Development Workshop

Brisbane, Saturday, July 1st, 2023

Corporate Governance: An International Review is delighted to announce a paper

development workshop (PDW) for scholars seeking to publish high-quality scholarship in the

area of corporate governance.

The workshop is open to new and established scholars and will take place at the Queensland

University of Technology in Brisbane on Saturday July 1st, 2023. The event is timed to take

place in the lead up to the 2023 AFAANZ conference on the Gold Coast (July 2nd – July 4th).

The Editors-in-Chief of CGIR, Professors Konstantinos Stathopoulos and Till Talaulicar, will

attend the workshop, along with several Editors and members of the Editorial Board.

Objective

The purpose of the PDW is twofold. First, the workshop aims to provide a venue for corporate

governance scholars from across the Asia-Pacific region to network and explore joint research

opportunities. Second, it aims to provide scholars with the opportunity to obtain developmental

feedback on their corporate governance papers for which CGIR might be a potential submission

target.

Program

The PDW will be divided in two parts. For the first formal part, we will have Professor Abe De

Jong (Monash University) and Professor Flora Kuang (University of Melbourne) giving

keynotes on contemporary governance issues. The CGIR Editors-in-Chief will present the

journal’s mission and scope, key statistics on submissions and acceptance rate, and the

editorial review process. This will be followed by a question-and-answer session with the

editorial team and the possibility to have informal conversations with the Editors-in-Chief,

Editors and Editorial Board Members of CGIR so to learn the nuances of successful publication

strategies.

After lunch, the second part of the day will see participants break-out in small groups to discuss

their research with CGIR Editors, Editorial Board Members and workshop participants. The

focus will be on providing constructive feedback on how to improve working papers, so as to

increase the probability of acceptance by CGIR or other relevant journals. Please note that we

also intend to organise an informal dinner on the evening of July 1st, 2023.

Application Process

We are soliciting corporate governance scholars – from any discipline (e.g., accounting,

finance, law, management, strategy) and level – to submit an original paper. Each applicant

may submit only one paper. Submitted papers must be typically less than 10,000 words in

length, include an abstract, up to five keywords, and follow the CGIR author guidelines. Papers

should be submitted via email to p.bezemer@ecu.edu.au. The deadline for submissions is

Monday April 8th, 2023. Submitters will be notified whether they can participate in the event

by Monday May 8th, 2023 and are asked to confirm their participation by the end of May.
