Research Papers

The Research Committee of the Public Relations Division invites both faculty and students to submit competitive papers related to public relations research for AEJMC's national convention Aug. 9-12, 2000, in Phoenix, Arizona.

Papers should test, refine, or expand public relations theory or practices; critically review issues relevant to public relations theory and research; or explore methods of effective public relations practice. Submissions employing all methods of inquiry are encouraged. Papers should include appropriate literature reviews, methodology, findings and discussion, and they should NOT have been presented in other forums.

SIX (6) copies of each paper must be postmarked no later than April 1, 2000. (NO e-mail or fax submissions will be considered.) Authors will be notified by May 15, 2000. At least one author MUST attend the convention to present the paper.

All six copies must include a cover page identifying the author(s) with appropriate identification for all listed author(s) including rank as a faculty member or graduate student; mailing address(es); telephone number(s); and, if available, the e-mail address of the principal author. The paper's body should include a title and a maximum 75-word, single-spaced abstract on a separate sheet of paper included immediately after the title page. The only identification throughout the paper should be a running header with the title of the paper and page number.

Along with the six copies, include a disk containing the paper in digital form and identifying the type of word-processing program the paper is saved in, the name of the paper and the principal author and a completed and signed permission form. On the permission form, the author does not have to grant AEJMC permission to do anything with the paper, i.e., the author can check "no" on all items; but the form needs to be included with the paper submission. Format requirements and the permission form are included in the January 2000 edition of AEJMC NEWS.
