2007 NAAEE Conference and Research Symposium Presenters

NAAEE invites you to submit a paper summarizing your presentation for publication in the 2007 Conference Proceedings.  We will receive your papers through the same site where you submitted your proposal.  Only full papers of material actually presented at the conference will be included.  Abstracts will not be listed in lieu of a full paper.  If you would like your presentation to be included in the Proceedings for the 36th Annual NAAEE Conference or the 4th Annual NAAEE Research Symposium held in Virginia Beach, VA, please submit the following by February 11, 2008.

• Indicate Conference Strand or Research Symposium
• Presentation Title, name(s), and affiliation(s) of primary and additional presenters
• a 200-word abstract
• a 1,500-word paper, including any graphics or charts that were presented
• Reference list

Please read these guidelines carefully before submitting your proposal. Proposals that do not follow these guidelines may be rejected. 

Publication Timeline

At this time, the papers will not be edited so please be sure to proofread your papers before submitting. NAAEE will make the proceedings available online. Please note that when you submit your paper through the All Academic System, you also agree to allow your papers to be archived in the All Academic conference database which is then made commercially available to universities and libraries around the United States.  If you have concerns about this, you should submit your paper directly to NAAEE staff (jpolzer@naaee.org). Submissions submitted directly to NAAEE MUST be in a PDF or MS WORD (.doc) file with charts, tables, and graphics inserted in the appropriate places.

Formatting Requirements

1. Conference Strand/Research Symposium

Please state in which strand your session was presented or indicate Research Symposium if applicable.

2. Title and Presenters

A Centered Title
Author’s Name
Author’s Affiliation

3. Abstract
Abstract of 200 words or less, left justified, double-spaced.  Leave an additional blank line between the abstract and the body of the paper.

4. 1,500-word paper

The body of the paper should be 1,500 words or less and double-spaced.  Paragraphs should be indented with a single half inch tab and two spaces should be left between sentences.  Use the common type font Times New Roman.  Use the same type font and size throughout and do not use italics or bold.  Major section headings should be in all caps and should be centered.  Second level headings should be on a line by themselves at the left margin with the beginning letter in each word capitalized.  Third level headings should be indented and underlined and followed by a period. 

Please follow the Chicago format style for citations (see Section 5 for sample).  In the body of the paper, follow the author-date system (examples below).  The first example is a reference to a book (Dunlap and Mertig 1992).  If there are two or more authors, use the order in which they appear in the original book or article.  The second reference is to an article in an edited book (Caldwell 1992).  The third example is a reference to an article in a journal (Jamieson 1992). 

5. Reference List

 
The reference list follows the body of the text.  The citations in the reference list should be alphabetized by authors' last names.  Again, if there are two or more authors, use the order in which they appear in the original book or article.  The date of publication follows the author's name.  Underline book and journal titles; do not use italic or bold fonts.  Note that article and book titles are capitalized sentence style and that journal titles are capitalized headline style.  Include the pages on which the article begins and ends in a book (63-76 in the example).  For journal articles, include the volume (17 in the example), the number (2 in the example) or season (Summer), and the pages (139-53 in the example).
