Changing Perspectives in Academia

Publish or Perish
Publish or Not to Publish (Detmar Straub) other options for leadership
Knowledge Creation - How, what and where?
The research model tends to be decidedly North American/European
centric in its orientation
However, increasingly The world is flat (Tom Friedman) Research
expectations/requirements are level as is the playing field
Focus on only the A-List?!
deans and department chairs, should treat a basket of research outlets
that collectively address research leadership, practitioner perspectives and
curricular implications (Ajay Vinze)
st
Publish or Perish
The positives
Contributions to knowledge; keeping professionally engaged;
competing on the world stage
Tenure, Promotion and Reputation
Stay relevant in these changing times
The negatives
Quantity over quality debate; detracts from the teaching goal;
makes for an uneven playing field (globally)
What you can do to prepare and document your
performance
Impact factor; citation index, immediacy index
st
Seven Stages of Publishing

How
Step 1: Have a focus and a vision

Step 2: Clear and concise (avoid jargon)
--- Work the Publishing hierarchy ---
Colleagues, peer institutions, conferences, journals
Step 3: Preview and review (best friend/worst enemy)
Step 4: Research journal prior to submission
Step 5: Submit Revise Resubmit Cycle
Step 6: Stay away from the panic key Read reviews carefully!
Step 7: Publish (dont forget to celebrate your success)
st
What is a publishable
The KISS principle
The Rigor Relevance battle?

Traditional
Approach
Adapted from Detmar Straub, 2010
st
Despite best efforts

Rejection happens
Remember it happens to the best
There is an appeal process remember the
process hierarchy
Reviews are valuable make sure you account
for flaws in your work before resubmitting
Try the next best outlet after improving the paper
No one ever (likes or) gets used to this!
st
The on other side

Be a reviewer!
Be a contributing member of your research community.
What goes around comes around dont be nasty!
Incremental review be a Coach and Gatekeeper
Be a reviewer only when you have the requisite
competence to review this work?
Be honest if you have any biases against this kind of
work?
Deliver your review on time?
Izak Benbasat, AMCIS 2010
