CARMA welcomes two editors for webcast lectures

The Center for the Advancement of Research Methods and Analysis (CARMA) from the School of Business Administration hosted its third live webcast event on April 19 as part of the CARMA Consortium Webcast Program. The presenters were Professor Patrick Shrout of New York University (Associate Editor, Psychological Methods) and Professor Tima Bansal of Western University (Associate Editor, Academy of Management Journal).

Patrick Shrout's presentation “Implementing multilevel analyses of daily diary data” focused on how daily diary methods offer opportunities to study behavioral, emotional and cognitive processes over time in natural contexts.

Tima Bansal presented “Tips and Traps for Publishing Qualitative Research: An Editor's Perspective” where she described what she believes to be an emerging boilerplate for qualitative submissions, based on insights drawn from over 200 editorial decision letters she had written. She also listed the top 10 traps, along with a few tips in dealing with them.

A total of 240 faculty and students from 34 of CARMA’s Consortium Webcast Program member organizations viewed the webcast, and 20 of Wayne State's faculty and graduate students attended both the webcast and "Meet the Methodologist."

CARMA has one more live webcast scheduled this spring. CARMA will partner with Georgia Tech University for a live webcast honoring Professor Larry James of Georgia Tech. Larry James is a long time CARMA contributor and a past webcast presenter. The live webcasts will be Friday, April 26 from 1:00pm to 5:00pm EDT. These webcast lectures will be available free, with no login required, through the CARMA home page on the day of the event. CARMA encourages group viewing of the webcast, and individual viewing is also allowed. Recorded versions will be made freely available through the CARMA website the week after the event.
