Please follow these guidelines and formatting instructions to prepare your paper:
- Each paper can only be submitted to ONE track. If a proposed idea does not seem to fit any of the tracks described above, authors should contact the Program Co-Chairs: Samuel Aryee, University of Surrey (s.aryee@surrey.ac.uk) and Sherwat Elwan Ibrahim, American University in Cairo (email: sherwat@aucegypt.edu). Your submission will be directed to the most appropriate track.
- All papers and proposals should be submitted electronically via the conference website at www.africaacademyofmanagement.org
- Submitted papers must NOT have been previously published and if under review, must NOT appear in print before the AFAM 2026 Conference.
- Paper submissions will be blind reviewed. Authors should therefore remove all author-identifying information, including acknowledgments from the text, and document properties.
- The paper (title page, abstract, main text, figures, tables, references, etc) must be in one document created in a PDF format.
- The maximum length of a paper must be 40 pages (including tables, appendices and references). The paper format should follow the Africa Journal of Management’s style guide)
- No changes in the paper title, abstract, authorship, and actual paper can occur after the submission deadline
- Once a submission is accepted, all panelists in a PDW/Caucus/Symposia, and at least one author of a co-authored paper must register for the conference. Otherwise their submissions will not be included in the conference program or proceedings.
- Those submitting work to the conference are expected to serve as reviewers. They are to register both as author and reviewer on the conference website.
- The submission portal opens on January 30th, 2025, and closes at midnight on May 30th, 2025.
