Ø  Table discussion is led by an AMD Editor or Associate Editor.

Discussions are open to both paper authors and non-author participants

Ø Those who wish to have their paper reviewed and discussed should submit an extended abstract (between 5 and 10 pages of text) of their papers or paper ideas by *February 15, 2019.* Abstracts will be accepted on a competitive basis.

Ø The abstract should provide a synopsis of the research question, its relevance and significance, a statement relating to the limited ability of extant concepts and/or theory to provide a coherent response to that question, the empirical approach, and the implications of the findings for down-the –road theorizing.

Ø Extended abstracts should be about 10 pages, double spaced, excluding tables, figures and references. To upload your abstract at a later date, click’ EDIT SUBMISSION’ from your confirmation email.

Ø Before you submit your extended abstract please make sure that your extended abstract is appropriate for AMD by reading Mission Statement and Principles and the FAQ’s.

Ø You may also view the AMD Workshop Experience video.

Ø Those who wish to participate in the workshop without submitting a paper for review and discussion need only register (Select “Attending without submitting an abstract” on the form).

Ø  Paper feedback sessions are open to all, but discussions will revolve around papers submitted and accepted for discussion at the workshop.
