2010 Call for Papers—Communication Technology Division
AEJMC 2010 Convention : Denver, Colorado • August 4-7
For all papers, please follow the submission requirements posted in the Uniform Call for Online Paper Submissions. The following represents specific information about submissions to the Communication Technology Division.
The Communication Technology Division encourages research submissions where the central focus is technology and changes in the communication process resulting from technology. The division welcomes theoretical and conceptual papers as well as a diversity of methodological approaches.
Papers solely authored by students are especially encouraged and are eligible to be entered for the Jung-Sook Lee Student Paper competition. The top three student papers will be recognized with cash prizes and certificates at the annual convention. All papers authored or co-authored solely by students should include the words “Jung-Sook Lee Competition” in the upper-right corner of the first text page. All other papers are eligible for the open paper competition.
Student Papers: Undergraduate and graduate students enrolled during the 2009-2010 academic year may enter the Jung-Sook Lee student paper competition. The Jung-Sook Lee Award recognizes the best student paper, which makes “a substantial contribution to the substance or method on a topic related to communication technology and policy.”
The award honors the division’s 1997-1998 research chair, Jung-Sook Lee of the University of Southwest Louisiana, who died soon after the Baltimore convention in 1998. Authors of the top three student papers will receive a cash award and be recognized at the Denver Convention. In addition, the author of the best student paper will have his or her conference registration fee paid by the division.
Papers co-authored with faculty members will not be considered for this award. Student authors must type “Jung-Sook Lee Competition” in the upper-right corner of the first page of text to be considered for the award.
Submissions that do not win the Jung-Sook Lee Award are still considered for acceptance along with open competition submissions, so entry in the Jung-Sook Lee competition does not reduce students’ chances of paper acceptance.
Open Competition: All other papers submitted to the division will be reviewed in an open competition. Please limit papers to no more than 25 pages (double-spaced) in length, excluding tables and references. Authors of the three top-scoring faculty or faculty/student papers will be recognized in the convention program and at the Denver convention.
Authors will be notified of paper acceptance or rejection in May.
If you have any questions or require more information about the submission please contact Homero Gil de Zúñiga, CTEC research chair (hgz@mail.utexas.edu).
