Submissions

TPR submissions are accepted based upon editorial board evaluations of relevance to public relations education, importance to public relations teaching, quality of writing, manuscript organization, appropriateness of conclusions and teaching suggestions, and adequacy of the information, evidence or data presented.

Papers selected for the PRD’s top teaching session at AEJMC’s national convention and meeting TPR’s publication guidelines can be published without further review if edited to a maximum of 3,000 words. Authors of teaching papers selected for other PRD sessions are also encouraged to submit their papers for the regular review process. E-mail attachments in Word 97 (or earllier) or 3-1/2” diskette submissions are encouraged. Plain text e-mails or fax submissions are not accepted.

For mail submissions, four hard copies of each manuscript must be submitted. Names of authors should not be listed on the manuscript itself. A detachable title page should include the author’s title, office address, telephone number, fax number and e-mail address. Final manuscript must be in a readable 9-point type or larger and total no more than 280 single-spaced column inches of copy (approximately 12 pages or 3,000 words), including title, author, footnotes, tables, charts and attachments. Upon final acceptance of a manuscript, the author is expected to provide a plain text e-mail version to the PR Update editor.
