CALL FOR PAPERS
SPRING 2008 CONFERENCE
THEME: TOURISM RETAILING
DURANGO, CO · MAY 15-18, 2008
Dear Colleague,
You are invited to submit completed papers to the 2008 ACRA Spring Conference in Durango, CO. All papers will be double blind reviewed. The paper submission deadline is January 30, 2008. The best papers (in each track) will be published in International Journal of Service Industry Management (Track A) and Journal of Customer Behavior (Track B).
To facilitate the review process, we ask that you adhere to the following guidelines:
- The title page should contain the title, authors, affiliations, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses for correspondence. An abstract of 150 words or less and a list of four-six keywords should follow the title page. On page 3 of the manuscript repeat the title, but not the author’s names, to permit anonymity during the review process. Papers should not exceed 15 double-spaced typewritten pages including references, figures, and tables (excluding title page and abstract).
- Complete papers must be submitted – abstracts will not be considered for review and will be returned to the author as rejected. Papers submitted must not have been published, accepted for publication, or under consideration for publication elsewhere.
- The first author listed on the title page will serve as the contact person unless otherwise noted in the submission. Confirmation of receipt of manuscript and reviewer comments will be sent to authors via e-mail.
- Authors of accepted papers must submit a copy of the revised (if necessary) copy of the paper or abstract to the Proceedings Editor by the specified deadline. Failure to do so will result in the paper being withdrawn from the conference and proceedings.
