CALL FOR STUDENT PAPERS, CONFERENCE ABSTRACTS,
AND BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATIONS

TCNJ JOURNAL OF STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP, 2009 EDITION

The TCNJ Journal of Student Scholarship was first published in 1998 to provide a forum for outstanding examples of research fostered by the collaboration of TCNJ students and faculty. The eleventh volume of the Journal, scheduled to be published in April 2009, will continue that tradition.

This is an open invitation to all students to submit, and to all faculty members to encourage students to submit copies of PAPERS OF EXCEPTIONAL MERIT for possible publication in the 2009 edition of the Journal of Student Scholarship. The Journal welcomes submissions from students in ALL academic disciplines. PAPERS should be no more than twenty typewritten, double-spaced pages in length, excluding notes. There is no minimum length. Students should include a brief abstract of no more than 250 words summarizing the argument of the paper.  Students will be informed in a timely manner whether their papers have been selected for publication and, if selected, what kind of revisions may be required before publication.  Please note that publication is now in electronic format, allowing for production of color photographs, tables, charts, and graphs, and ease of hyperlinking.

In addition, students who, individually or in collaborating with a faculty member, have presented (or had accepted for presentation) work at a regional, national, or international conference after September 1, 2007, are encouraged to submit CONFERENCE ABSTRACTS for recognition in the Journal. The ABSTRACT should be no more than 300 words long, and must include the name, date, and location of the professional meeting at which the work was presented.  Students, who individually or in collaboration with a faculty member, have had work published (or accepted for publication) after September 1, 2007, are encouraged to submit a BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION of their work for inclusion in a special section of the Journal.

The deadline for all submissions is Monday, June 2, 2008. All students should provide addresses,  including e-mail addresses and phone numbers at which they can be reached in the summer and fall of 2008 and winter of 2008-09.  The complete list of style and format requirements for publication is available on this Web site.
