31. Introduction Personal experience (Australian Business
Dean Council journal list): 4 A-star journals

51. Introduction Path to publication:1. Idea generation2. Formalization of research ideas3. Data collection and analyses4. Writing the manuscript5. Presentation at workshop/seminars
to solicit feedback6. Journal submissions with lengthy
review process (average 3 years)Seminar UNIMA 2015
-
6Publishing in Scopus journals
Characteristics of topics that have a good chance to be accepted: Address real world/societal problem Fills significant gap/advances theory Produced novel/new/unexpected results Address hard to solve research
issues/introduces new procedures
Seminar UNIMA 2015
-
7Important factors to be considered by reviewers
Theoretical significance Value for future research Quality of presentation Substantive interest Methodological interest Practical significance
Seminar UNIMA 2015
-
8Quality of presentation Problems statements are clearly stated and well
organized Manuscript is well written, well structured, and
well organized Hypotheses are clearly stated and tested The writing is succinct and internally consistent Has a logical flow of ideas Starts and ends strongly to attract and maintain
interest Results are presented clearly and discussed
carefully with logical reasoningSeminar UNIMA 2015
-
9Other aspects
Avoid plagiarism (including self-plagiarism): Deadly sin
Know the target journal (Journals have different styles)
Expose your work to your peers (present in good conferences)
Dont be defeated by reviewers comments Length from idea generation to first draft: 1-
2 years Length of review process: 1-4 yearsSeminar UNIMA 2015

2. Publishing in Scopus Journals
Effective ways to learn how to publish in Scopus Journals: Follow the process of your PhD thesis Find experienced and successful co-
authors Ask for guidance from experts in your field No access or difficult to find Experts are extremely busy
Seminar UNIMA 2015
-
11
2. Publishing in Scopus journals
Two factors to generate significant/ meaningful topics: Process to generate research ideas
Following and critically looking at the literature Keeping up to date of real world issues Working with colleagues
Ability to differentiate significant/meaningful topics Awareness of existing literatureSeminar UNIMA 2015
-
12
Role of thesis supervisor/ experienced co-author
Thesis supervisor/co-author should be able to: Minimize the risk of undertaken research topics
that have little chance of successful completion Help students/junior researchers obtain correct
data on the first attempt Eliminate outcome dependence research Reduce the temptation to abandon the main
research topic as the research progress Set the time schedule for each milestones
(literature review, hypotheses, research design, data collection, data analyses, first draft, final draft)

3. Conducting research
Purpose:
to understand, predict, or control some aspects of the environment by testing/refuting existing theories or by developing and testing new theories
to help policy makers
Seminar UNIMA 2015

3. Conducting Research Fundamental questions:1. What are the problem statements
(research questions)?2. Why are they important? Do we really
care? Why? (relate to your contributions)?
3. How do you address the research questions?

How do we find the research questions/problem statements? Identify the knowledge gap in your
discipline Review existing literature Insights emerging from ongoing contacts between
researchers and organizations Personal contemplations

Framework for Scientific Research
Example:
1. Initial inquiry:
Observation: companies are reluctant to invest in CSR activities (e.g. treat industrial waste)
Research question: Do disclosure regimes affect managers willingness to invest in CSR projects?
Seminar UNIMA 2015
-
18
Framework for Scientific Research
Example:
2. Prediction (hypothesis):
Managers are more willing to invest in CSR project if they have the opportunity to disclose extensively their CSR activities in a stand-alone CSR report (not merely in the footnotes of annual financial statement)
Seminar UNIMA 2015
-
19
Framework for Scientific Research
Example:
3. Research design:
Compare willingness to invest between CSR disclosure regimes
4. Data collection:
Collect data relevant to the variables of interest (willingness to invest, different CSR disclosure regimes)
Empirical or experimentSeminar UNIMA 2015
-
20
Framework for Scientific Research
Example:
5. Data interpretation:
Describe actual results
Compare with prediction
6. Drawing conclusion:
Explain why the actual results are consistent/inconsistent with predictions relate to theory
Seminar UNIMA 2015
-
21
Framework for Scientific Research
Example:
7. Further inquiry: Future research
Reasons for consistent/inconsist results
Limitations and opportunities for future research

Role of theory A theory explains what has been observed, test
empirically the hypotheses derived from the theory, and then predict what is yet to be observed.
Knowledge accumulates through the systematic testing of hypotheses suggested by theories.
Theory allows the systematic ordering of facts
Seminar UNIMA 2015
-
23
Role of theory Researchers often underestimate the
importance of rigorous theory in designing their studies. Weak theory development is probably the most recurring reason for the accounting journals to reject empirical papers.
A papers motivation and contribution critically depend on theory.
Theory structures the study and suggest alternative hypotheses.

Conclusion
Useful for preparing a paper/thesis/dissertation: Are the theory and hypotheses reasonable? Are there any other variables that might have
significant effects on the dependent variables? Is the magnitude of the hypothesized effect
plausible? Are all important competing explanations
adequately addressed in the plan? Are the proposed test appropriate?
Seminar UNIMA 2015
-
25
Conclusion Useful to evaluate others paper
What are the dependent, independent, control variables?
Are they appropriately addressed in the paper? What are other variables that might have important
effects on the dependent variable? Are there better ways
to measure those variables? To analyze data?
