Review Process and Publication

Review Process (completed)

The review process for the 19th Annual Conference 2024 is completed. We received 146 submissions, each of which was assessed by at least two experienced reviewers in a double-blind process. The competition was particularly tough this year because we received a large number of outstanding submissions. At the same time, unfortunately, the number of available slots is limited. A special thanks goes to our 65 reviewers from all over the world for their efforts and support of the 2024 ASCOLA conference in Würzburg!

We congratulate all authors whose papers were accepted for the conference. Provided their authors agree, the accepted papers will be published on the conference website. We would also like to thank those authors whose papers unfortunately did not make it for this year's conference. We hope to see you at the conference anyway and cordially invite you to register for participation also without a presentation. For registration, please fill in the registration form.

Publication of Accepted Papers

As stated in our Call for Papers (see here: ASCOLA2024-CfP), ASCOLA has reached an agreement with the Journal of Competition Law and Economics as well as the Journal of Antitrust Enforcement (both published by Oxford University Press), that authors whose papers have been accepted to the ASCOLA conference can request ASCOLA to submit the reviews received to the journal(s). This, in turn, may shorten their review processes. Of course, authors are not obliged to take advantage of any of these publication venues and can choose to publish their papers elsewhere.

In case, authors are interested in publishing their papers in the above mentioned journals, the process will be as follows:

1. The author submits the paper to the journal, stating that it was reviewed by ASCOLA and he/she requests that the reviews be part of the review process, as per ASCOLA's agreement with them.

2. The author sends a request to ASCOLA (ascola@hhu.de). ASCOLA will submit the reviews to the respective journal.
