Writing for Publication in Organization Studies
One particular session we would like to highlight is the session “Writing for Publication in Organization Studies”: https://isaconf.confex.com/isaconf/forum2020/meetingapp.cgi/Session/13551 . This will not be a “regular” session featuring normal presentations. Instead, at least two experienced organizational sociologists, Paul du Gay (Copenhagen Business School) and Robert van Krieken (University of Sydney), will outline the most important aspects of their experience of writing for the publication in organization studies, and they will provide helpful advice in response to questions that session participants raise about difficulties and obstacles that they might have encountered. Anyone interested in publishing organizational sociology is welcome to attend this session and engage in discussion with the presenters.
