What your paper must look like, what it must contain, and the conditions under which it will be reviewed.
IPA 2027 accepts full papers rather than abstracts. Submissions should report substantively complete research; work in progress is welcome, but the manuscript must allow the discussant and reviewers to engage with a coherent argument and findings.
Papers must be original and previously unpublished. Papers under review for another conference or journal at the time of submission must be disclosed in a footnote on the title page. Duplicate or substantially overlapping submissions will be rejected.
We do not require a specific reference style, but references must be consistent and complete. We recommend the style of Accounting, Organizations and Society.
The use of generative AI tools to support research and writing must be disclosed. AI tools must not be listed as authors. Authors remain responsible for the originality, accuracy and integrity of the submitted work.
By submitting, authors warrant that the work complies with applicable ethical standards for research with human and non-human subjects, and that all sources are properly acknowledged. The Scientific Committee may use plagiarism-detection tools at its discretion.
Reciprocity expectations. All submitting authors commit to acting as reviewers, and authors of accepted papers commit to acting as discussants.
Submissions are made exclusively through the conference’s online submission platform, which opens on 1 November 2026. See the submission & review process for a step-by-step overview.
