Article Type: Call for papers From: International Journal of Gender and Entrepreneurship, Volume 3, Issue 1

Sponsored by Emerald Publishing’s International Journal of Gender and Entrepreneurship (IJGE) and the Women in AIB (WAIB)

The purpose of the Emerald IJGE and WAIB Emerging Scholar Award in women’s entrepreneurship is to encourage high-calibre scholarly research in women’s entrepreneurship, and to platform the work of dynamic young researchers, particularly those who are in a position to offer exciting new perspectives.

The award consists of a plaque to the recipient, a one-year free online access to IJGE, international promotion for the winning paper and an invitation to submit the final paper for potential publication in IJGE, subject to further review. Finalists and the award recipient will be permanently posted on the WAIB web site. The winner will also receive a 500 award.

Selection process

To be eligible for this award, the paper must be submitted to and be accepted for presentation at the 2011 AIB Annual Conference (http://aib.msu.edu/events/2011/SubmissionInstructions.asp) and adhere to the Emerging Scholar Award submission process. Once an author has been notified that his/her paper has been accepted for presentation (in a competitive paper or interactive session) at the 2011 AIB Annual Meeting, the author will need to submit his/her paper to WAIB following the Emerging Scholar Award submission process. This process is detailed on the WAIB web site and consists of an application form that must be filled out and submitted electronically, along with supporting documentation and a copy of the paper. Papers competing for this award will typically be authored by final-year PhD scholars, junior post-doctoral faculty or those who are at the early stages of their research career.

The winner and the runner-up of the best paper award are normally expected to present their paper at the AIB Conference. In addition, the winner will also be expected to submit his/her paper to IJGE for consideration. Any questions or suggestions concerning this award should be addressed to Janet Y. Murray, President, WAIB, at: murrayjan@umsl.edu or to Colette Henry, Editor, IJGE, at: chenry@rvc.ac.uk. Submit abstracts and papers electronically to Janet Y. Murray following the Emerging Scholar Award Submission guidelines available on the WAIB web site at: www.kelley.iu.edu/waib/
