2015 CSCMP Educators’ Conference Call for Papers
San Diego, California, USA
Sunday, September 27, 2015
 Submission Deadline:  May 1, 2015





The Educators’ Conference has earned a prominent place with many academics, as it is an excellent opportunity to meet colleagues and share new research for discussion and feedback.



The 2015 conference will have four presentation tracks:



1)    Supply Chain Operations Track

Chair: Jennifer V. Blackhurst, Walker Professor of Logistics and SCM, Iowa State University



2)    Supply Chain Logistics Track
Chair: Susan L. Golicic, Herbert Family Research Fellow and Associate Professor, Colorado State University





3)    Purchasing and Supply Management Track
Chair: Wendy L. Tate, Associate Professor of Supply Chain Management, University of Tennessee




4)    Focused Track: Teaching Innovation
Chair: Scott B. Keller, Pace Professor of Logistics and SCM, University of West Florida



Four types of submissions are encouraged: complete research papers (20 pages), extended research abstracts

(5 pages), teaching innovation papers (20 pages), and teaching innovation briefs or cases (5 pages or less).



All research submissions (both papers and abstracts) will be evaluated on originality, clarity, research design, and theoretical and practical contribution.  We are especially interested in receiving full papers describing work that spans the boundaries of supply chain management’s various sub-disciplines, (i.e.,  logistics and transportation, operations, and purchasing) though work that resides primarily within the scope of only a single discipline will also be welcomed. Only full-length research papers will be considered for the E. Grosvenor Plowman Award, which is awarded to the best research paper of the conference.  Extended research abstracts are also welcomed, but priority in the final program will be given to full-length papers, and space for abstracts could therefore be limited.



The teaching innovation track also openly invites submissions, both full length or brief.  These may include research papers on pedagogical techniques or methods, applied teaching case studies, innovative teaching methods, or experiential papers describing the use of new tools. Teaching submissions will be evaluated for originality, clarity, and value of discussion of learning outcomes. Papers submitted to the teaching innovations track will be considered for the Innovative Supply Chain Teaching Award.



Guidelines for submissions:

  1.  All research track submissions must not have been published or accepted for publication in any journal or other outlet.  To submit, simply attach an electronic copy of your submission to an e-mail directed to the conference chair, Dr. Chad W. Autry (autry at utk.edu<mailto:autry at utk.edu>).    Unless a specific request is made, the conference committee will place all accepted research papers into one of the three research tracks, according to primary topic.  Special requests for placement can be made, and will be handled on an individual basis.


  1.  Authors of teaching innovation submissions should indicate in the email message that their paper is intended for the teaching innovation track. These submissions should be sent directly to the chair of the teaching innovation track, Dr. Scott B. Keller (skeller at uwf.edu<mailto:skeller at uwf.edu>).


  1.  Submissions must be made following JBL style and formatting guidelines: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)2158-1592/homepage/ForAuthors.html


  1.  The first page of any submission should contain the manuscript's title and complete author names, affiliations, and contact information.  This first page will be dropped when the manuscript is sent out for review.  The title should be repeated on the second page, which in turn should be followed by the abstract, body, and visuals.


  1.  All submissions will undergo a double blind review.


  1.  Authors of accepted works will be asked to make appropriate changes based on reviewer comments for the conference proceedings prior to presentation and publication.  Authors other than award winners will have an option to publish an abbreviated version in the proceedings.


  1.  At least one author of each accepted research paper or brief, and each teaching paper or brief, must register for the Educators’ Conference and agree to present their submission at the conference.


Authors will be notified on or around June 15, 2015 as to the final decision regarding their submission’s acceptance to the conference.

For any additional information, please contact the 2015 CSCMP Educators’ Conference Chair:
