Objectives
Following the success of the 2019 competition, the AMS Review-Sheth Foundation are pleased to invite submissions (co-)authored by current and recently graduated PhD students for the 2020 competition for conceptual articles (see below for eligibility details).

Competition Format & Process
Eligibility
PhD students currently enrolled in a marketing doctoral program, or those who have graduated in 2018, are eligible for the competition. PhD students can submit their papers as sole authors or coauthors (as long as they are first authors). Cover letter must provide relevant information to verify eligibility.
Submission Deadline and Instructions:
Submission deadline: January 19, 2019 (earlier submissions are encouraged). Submission instructions and additional details are available on AMS Review’s website.
On this page, please visit the section “For Authors and Editors” on the right side and click the call for papers: “CfP: Sheth Foundation Annual Doctoral Competition”. If you need assistance, please email Laurie Marshall, AMS Review’s Managing Editor (AMSReview@mays.tamu.edu).
Submission Format & Evaluation Process
Applicants will submit proposals not exceeding five (5) pages in length (excluding the title page, abstract, figures, tables and references) and formatted using double-spaced text and 12-point font. Figures and tables should be appended after the main text (and before the references). References should follow AMSR guidelines. The scope of conceptual work that is appropriate for the competition is available in AMSR’s position statement: http://www.springer.com/business+%26+management/journal/13162
The proposals will be reviewed by a set of reviewers selected by the competition’s co-chairs. Based on these reviews, up to 12 proposals may be invited for further development into full articles for publication consideration by AMSR. From among these, lead authors of up to 6 proposals may be selected to receive a $600 award each, and invited to present their work at the 2020 AMS Annual Conference (May 20-22, 2020, Coral Gables). The objective is for the presenters to receive feedback from a panel of leading marketing scholars. The presentations will also provide a number of learning and networking opportunities for scholars interested in conceptual work. If needed, the conference co-chairs will adapt the evaluation process in order to avoid potential conflicts of interest.
