2014 MAS Research and Case Conference and the IMA Doctoral Colloquium

January 9-11, 2014, Orlando, Florida

The 2014 MAS Research and Case Conference and the IMA Doctoral Colloquium will be held January 9-11, 2014 at the Doubletree By Hilton Orlando at SeaWorld. The Doctoral Colloquium will be held on Thursday, January 9, and the Research and Case Conference will take place on Friday-Saturday, January 10-11.

PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: The deadline for submission of research papers and cases for the conference is Monday, August 19, 2013 (midnight EDT). Papers and cases must be submitted through the SSRN conference management system by going to: https://hq.ssrn.com/login/pubSignInJoin.cfm?conflink=AAA-MAS-2014. When submitting, authors will designate their research papers for consideration for a teaching session, a concurrent research session, or a poster research session (if not accepted for a concurrent session). The selection of conference papers and cases will be announced by October 14, 2013.

We will also be hosting the fifth annual Journal of Management Accounting Research (JMAR) Conference and JMAR 25th anniversary celebration during this mid-year meeting. Papers for the JMAR Conference should be submitted at: http://jmar.allentrack.net/cgi-bin/main.plex. Please include a cover letter indicating that the paper is for the Conference. The following Word or PDF files should be attached: (1) cover page with author names and contact information and (2) coverless manuscript (with identifiers removed from the document properties). In addition, a submission fee of US$50 should be paid online at: https://aaahq.org/AAAForms/journals/jmarsubmit.cfm. In addition, by special arrangement with JMAR, papers accepted for a concurrent session can be submitted to JMAR with no submission fee subsequent to the conference. The standard review procedures for JMAR will apply.

AWARDS: As in prior years, there will be an award for the Best Paper and a $1,000 prize for the Outstanding Case (generously sponsored by the IMA). Cases accepted for the conference will be automatically passed on to the IMA Educational Case Journal (IECJ) for publication under an expedited review process, unless the authors request otherwise.

FURTHER INFORMATION: As always, we rely on volunteer reviewers and discussants to put on a successful conference. Please consider volunteering at: https://hq.ssrn.com/login/pubSignInJoin.cfm?conflink=AAA-MAS-2014
