AMS Review - Call for Proposals: AMS Review – Sheth Foundation 2025 Doctoral Competition for Conceptual Articles (DoCCA)
Calling Marketing PhD students to submit conceptual research proposals for potential recognition at the AMS Annual Conference, mentoring toward publication at AMS Review and monetary awards for winners.
Doctoral course and dissertation research involves significant conceptual work (e.g., conducting literature reviews, development of theory, building conceptual models) that often goes unpublished. Entering this competition is one way to receive feedback and advance conceptual development towards successful publication.
AMS Review and the Sheth Foundation invite PhD students to submit a 5-page (double-spaced) conceptual proposal for consideration in this annual competition. The conceptual research proposal should be about previously unpublished work that can be developed towards potential publication in the AMS Review. The conceptual research proposal should contain the following elements:
- Problematization / justification for the topic
- Positioning and literature review
- Conceptual framework/model
- Illustrative propositions (if applicable)
- Contribution(s)
Submit your conceptual research proposal, along with a cover letter (max. 1 page), by January 15, 2025 for consideration, if you meet the following two eligibility criteria:
Currently enrolled PhD student in Marketing,
