It is assumed that submitters will have reviewed the doctoral colloquium submission guidelines (see below) and www.anzmac2010.org before contacting the co-chairs.
Submission of all final materials by FRIDAY 23rd July 2010. All submissions must be received in a Word Document (*.doc or *.docx) OR PDF document (*.pdf) to ekant.veer@canterbury.ac.nz. Once a submission has been successfully received you will receive email confirmation from one of the co-chairs.
Final notification of acceptance will be emailed to students by Friday 3rd September 2010.
Students who are wishing to attend should join the Facebook group “ANZMAC 2010 Doctoral Colloquium” to start networking with other attendees and look out for latest news.
Students wishing to attend the doctoral colloquium are asked to submit either a full research proposal (10 to 20 pages) or an extended abstract (max 5 pages) of their study, depending on the student’s level and progression through his or her studies.
The 5 page extended abstract is to encourage early stage doctoral students to attend the conference and benefit from feedback from panelists on their preliminary ideas as well as learn from more from the speakers, workshops and other doctoral students in attendance.
Early stage students wishing to submit an extended abstract should very briefly address the following issues:
Extended abstracts should be no longer than 5 pages. Five pages is the strict maximum for extended abstracts including all figures and tables, but is excluding references and appendices. At least half a page of the extended abstract should be dedicated to any specific issues or questions the student would like panelists to address. Please note that students who submit a 5 page extended abstract will NOT be eligible for the Doctoral Colloquium prize.
Students wishing to submit full proposals should address the following issues:
Full Proposals should be between 10 and 20 pages. Twenty pages is the strict maximum including all figures and tables, but is excluding references and appendices. At least one page of the proposal should be dedicated to any specific issues or questions the student would like panelists to address.
Please find below instructions on the correct formatting for all papers.
Major headings should be centred and in bold type. The first letter of each major word should be capitalised. (Do not capitalise minor words, such as definite or indefinite articles or conjunctions, and do not use block capitals throughout the words. Do not use Microsoft Word "title case" function, as this capitalises minor words inappropriately.)
Sub-headings also should be in bold type face, but left justified, with the first letter of each major word capitalised. Sub-headings should have one single space line before and one single space line following.
Sub-sub-headings should have one single space line before and none following. Only the first letter of the sub-sub-heading should be capitalised.
Tables should consist of at least four (4) columns and four (4) rows; otherwise they should be left as in-text tabulations or their results should be integrated in the text. Designate units (e.g., $) in column headings. Align all numerals, including decimals. Refer to table in the text by number. Avoid using terms "above", "below" and "preceding" to refer to the table. If possible, combine closely related tables. Make sure the necessary measures of statistical significance are reported within the table.
Numbers up to nine (9) should be typed as words, e.g., two as opposed to 2, but 10 not ten.
Mathematical notation must be clear within the text. Equations should be centred on the page. If equations are numbered, type the number in parentheses flush with the left margin.
A marginal note should identify unusual symbols and Greek letters. If equations are too wide to fit in a single column, indicate appropriate breaks.
Citations in the text – (Jones and Smith, 2002). If practical, the citation should stand by a punctuation mark. Otherwise, insert it in a logical sentence break.
If a particular page, section, or equation is cited, it should be placed within the parentheses, e.g. (Jones and Smith, 2002, p.10).
For multiple authors, use the full citation for up to three authors; for four or more, use the first author's name followed by "et al." (in italics). A series of citations should be listed in alphabetical order and separated by semicolons (;).
Same as for the Australasian Marketing Journal. References are to be listed alphabetically, last name first, followed by publication date. The reference list should be typed single space with one line between each entry. Do not use indents or tabs. Book and periodical titles should have leading capitals for major words only.
