School of Business Administration, Oakland University
 

Editorial Policies

The goal of the series is to disseminate business-related research done by SBA faculty. The coordinator is  Professor Kieran Mathieson of the Department of Decision and Information Sciences.

If you want to submit a paper for the series, contact Kieran

Here are the school's policies for the series.

  1. Every faculty member in the SBA may submit papers for inclusion in the series. Part-time as well as full-time faculty members may submit papers.
  2. At least one of the authors must be a full-time or part-time member of the SBA faculty.
  3. If there are multiple authors from the SBA, one must be identified as the official submitter.
  4. The submitter certifies that all authors have agreed to have the paper included in the series.
  5. The submitter is responsible for following all applicable copyright laws and regulations. The series is a dissemination vehicle only.
  6. The submitter is responsible for the accuracy of the information in the paper. Neither the school nor the university warrants the content of any paper in the series.
  7. Papers may be included in other working paper series, if this is consistent with the rules of the other series and does not violate copyright restrictions. It is the submitter's responsibility to determine this.
  8. Authors can have a paper listed in the series, but not available online. People interested in the paper will be asked to contact the submitter directly.
  9. The coordinator reserves the right to reject papers incompatible with school and university policies, including policies on the use of the Web. This decision may be appealed to the SBA Executive Committee.
  10. The paper must be submitted as a PDF document, encoded with Adobe Acrobat, or as an HTML document with accompanying files (e.g., multimedia enhancements). Other formats will be included at the discretion of the coordinator. You can download free PDF creation software for Windows from here.
  11. The coordinator will assign a number to every paper. Numbers will not be reused.
  12. A submitter or the coordinator can withdraw a paper from the series at any time. If a paper is replaced with an updated version, the coordinator will note this on this site.
  13. Contact information for the submitter must be included in every paper.
