讲座摘要：
Even the best research can get a rejection; the reason is that the paper has been poorly written. In this lecture, I will explain the most common mistakes and how to avoid them; we will cover various aspects of the publishing process and discuss strategies to increase your chances of success. To begin, we will explore the reasons why papers are often rejected. Next, I will introduce you to a powerful tool for collaborative paper writing called the paper canvas. This tool will help you visualize and organize your ideas, research questions, methodology, and key findings. We will then delve into the typical structure of a research paper and best practices for each session. I will also provide guidance on how to effectively address reviewer comments and make editors your allies throughout the publication process. Lastly, we will discuss what to include in a cover letter when submitting your paper to a journal.
（2）11月5日-讲座主题：Ontologies, Epistemologies, and theoretical lens: The hardest concepts explained in simple words（本体论、认识论和理论视角：以简洁的语言诠释最难的概念）
讲座摘要：
In today’s academic world, publishing in leading scientific journals requires strong and clear Ontologies, Epistemologies, and theoretical foundations. I will train authors for success in this changing landscape, using simple words and a lot of examples. Having clear ontologies, epistemologies, and theoretical lenses in social science and management research and publishing ensures conceptual clarity, methodological coherence, and theoretical advancement. It enables researchers to engage in meaningful scholarly dialogue, build upon existing knowledge, and contribute to the development of robust theories and practical implications. Furthermore, transparently communicating these foundational aspects enhances the rigor and credibility of research, allowing other researchers to replicate, critique, and extend the findings, thus facilitating the growth and progress of the respective fields.

讲座摘要：
In management journals, qualitative research has become increasingly important, and mastering these methods is essential for producing high-quality research that can make a real impact. First, I will discuss what qualitative is concerned with exploring and understanding the complexities of human experiences, behaviors, and social phenomena. Qualitative research is often exploratory in nature, seeking to uncover new insights and perspectives. Therefore, formulating open-ended questions that allow for in-depth exploration is vital. Next, it’s important to select the most suitable methods for data collection. This could involve conducting interviews with participants, observing their behaviors in natural settings, or analyzing documents and texts. Each method has its strengths, and selecting the right one is essential. Once the data is collected, the process of analysis begins. Qualitative data analysis involves carefully reviewing and interpreting the collected information to identify patterns, themes, and key findings.
