Paper Submission
The submission process for TAOM should adhere to the following guidelines:
- Each paper can only be submitted to one interest group (IG).
- Papers can be written in Turkish or English.
- For papers in Turkish, English version of the abstract and key words should also be included.Extended summary (at least 3000 words, including tables, figures and references) or full papers are accepted.
- An author can participate in the annual meeting with a maximum of two papers.
- Three reviewers will assess each paper anonymously through a double-blind peer review process.
- The papers should not have been published before. Works currently under peer review should not be published either online or in print prior to the annual meeting of TAOM.
- Authors are expected to meticulously conduct the design of their studies, establish a theoretical framework, adhere to ethical standards in data collection and analysis, objectively present their findings, and engage in a discussion regarding the results and the study’s contribution to the field. Research precision involves careful planning, implementation, analysis, and interpretation of results, along with the retention of data. The research should include a conclusion that highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the findings.
- During the sessions where authors present their papers, they are expected to actively participate in discussions and respond thoughtfully to questions from the audience.
- Turkish Academy Management promotes an atmosphere during TAOM that fosters open dialogue and constructive critique. Members are encouraged to willingly share their research findings and viewpoints with fellow members.
- If TAOM participants take on responsibilities such as presenting papers, chairing sessions, or participating as discussants or panelists, it is expected that they fulfill these roles. In the event that a member is unable to attend the annual meeting, they are expected to promptly communicate with the conference organizing committee. Failure to do so may result in the enforcement of the TAOM No-Show Policy.
- After the submission deadline, no changes can be made to the title, author names, abstract, or content of the manuscript.
Paper Development Workshop
The purpose of the Paper Development Workshop (PDW) is to guide and support authors in improving their work for submission to high-impact journals. PDW is considered a valuable opportunity for authors to benefit from the experiences and expertise of other senior academics and discussants. In this context, TAOM invites researchers at all levels, including doctoral students and early-career academics, to actively participate in this workshop.
The main difference between PDWs and standard paper presentation sessions is their exclusive focus on paper development. These workshops are considered significant platforms that facilitate in-depth discussions and constructive feedback aimed at enhancing the quality and publication potential of the submitted papers.
Each paper to be presented in a session is paired with senior discussant(s), who has prior publications, peer-reviewing, or editorial experience in high-impact journals. The author, while submitting the proposal, will indicate the relevant Interest Group (IG). The IG will then select the appropriate senior discussant(s) for the paper. Senior discussant(s) undertakes the task of reviewing the fellow researcher’s paper and providing written feedback before the TAOM meeting. This allows for more in-depth discussions during the presentation session.
Presentation Symposium
A Presentation Symposium entails a pre-prepared series of presentations on a theme or topic related to the field of Management and Organization. The symposium allows for the exploration and discussion of different perspectives on a theme or topic through the viewpoints of various researchers, providing a comprehensive examination. The symposium typically consists of at least three and at most five presenters, with one presenter serving as the session chair. The title of the symposium is associated with each presentation’s title. Presentations may involve multiple authors, and each author’s name is listed in the symposium program.
The session chair is responsible for preparing the content of the symposium proposal and uploading it to the TAOM submission center. An Interest Group (IG) can either solely sponsor the symposium or up to three IGs can sponsor it collectively.
The proposal should be submitted in a single document (in either Turkish or English) following the guidelines below: Title page (1 page), summary of symposium (3-6 pages), presentations (each 2-5 pages).

Leaders within the association bear similar responsibilities and are expected to fulfill their duties diligently, timely, and sensitively, prioritizing their obligations regardless of personal relationships or potential personal gains.
Rigor in Research: Researchers participating in annual meetings are required to demonstrate rigor in every phase of their research, encompassing the design, execution, analysis, reporting, and presentation of their findings. This rigor involves meticulous attention to the design, implementation, analysis, interpretation, and secure storage of data. When presenting their research, researchers should offer conclusions that transparently highlight both the strengths and weaknesses of the facts and findings they present.
Ethical Standards for Paper Submissions and Presentations
a) Each individual may only submit or be associated with a maximum of three papers.
b) Authors should submit papers in a manner and quantity that permits their attendance at the sessions, avoiding scheduling conflicts with multiple presentations by the same author.
