Style Guide: How to format and submit your paper for any EURAM 2005 Track
All submissions to the EURAM 2005 follow the style guide of the European Management Review (http://www.palgrave-journals.com/emr).
All papers submitted to the EURAM 2005 are double-blind reviewed. Please ensure that authors names can not be identified in the entire manuscript and are NOT given on the first page of the manuscript. Author names also have to be taken out of the 'File' 'Properties' screen in Word.
Preparation of manuscripts
All manuscripts should be double-spaced. Margins should be one inch (2.5cm) at the top, bottom and sides of the page. Font size should be 12 point or larger.
Regular articles should be no longer than 7.000 words, and 'work in progress' no longer than 5.000 words (but can be shorter!!). Constructs and variables should be identified in words, not abbreviations. Any hypotheses should be explicitly identified as such.
Please direct any questions directly to the chair of your track !
(a) Title page:
As the online submission system captures author names and contact details, the title page should list ONLY the title of the article and suggestions for a short running title of no more than 40 characters (including spaces). Titles should be short, and abstracts should be informative for non-specialists.
Please state also clearly the NAME of the TRACK to which you submit your paper.
Please state also here whether you wish your submission to be reviewed as a regular full paper or as a 'work-in-progress paper'.
(b) Abstract:
Authors are asked to supply an abstract of no more than 1000 characters. To submit your paper, have your abstract ready as an additional text file without any formatting. You have to copy/paste your abstract in a field during the online submission process.
Please be sure that the abstract page does not contain any information identifying the author(s). Also, please take care to create a title and an abstract that are direct and 'reader-friendly'.
Note that the abstract will be printed in the conference program.
(c) Keywords:
Include up to five keywords that describe your paper for indexing and for web searches in your manuscript.
(d) Text:
The introduction should state clearly the objective of the paper as well as the motivation and context of the research. The literature review should be limited to the articles, books and other items that have a direct bearing on the topic being addressed. Theoretical papers may devote a full section to the motivation and potential usefulness of the proposed theoretical framework. Empirical papers that do not develop new theories or hypotheses should be kept short. The empirical section should give details of the methodology used only if it is new.
(e) References:
References to published works must be cited in text according to the author/date system (Miller, 2004; Miller & Schmitt, 2004) and have to be listed alphabetically as a separate appendix titled 'References' at the end of the manuscript. We recommend (but do not demand) that you follow the following pattern:
