ABC Conferences

You are invited to submit a proposal or paper related to business communication topics for presentation at the 2013 ABC-SWUS Conference in Albuquerque, NM.  Research papers or position papers related to business communication topics in the following areas are encouraged: 

Papers or proposals should include a statement of the problem or purpose, methodology section (if applicable), findings (as available), a summary, implications for education and/or business, and a bibliography.

• If you are submitting a proposal only, it should contain 750 to 1,500 words and must be submitted on the ABC website: http://www.businesscommunication.org. Click on the link for the 2013 ABC-SWUS Conference.

• If you are submitting a completed paper, please submit your proposal online as indicated above. Then e-mail the completed paper to Randy Waller at Randy_Waller@baylor.edu by September 16, 2012. All submissions must be in Microsoft Word.

• Personal and institutional identification should be removed from the body of the paper.  Identify yourself and your institution only on the cover page.  Submissions will be anonymously reviewed.

• A cover page is required with the title of the paper and identifying information for each author: name, institutional affiliation, address, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address.
  
  

• For your research to be considered for the Richard D. Irwin Distinguished Paper Award, you must submit a completed paper rather than a proposal by the submission deadline, September 16, 2012.

• Submitted papers should not have been previously presented or published, nor should they be under consideration or accepted for presentation elsewhere.

• Upon receiving notice of acceptance, all authors and co-authors are expected to pre-register for ABC-SWUS and FBD at http://www.fbdonline.org

Deadline:  Papers and proposals must be received by September 16, 2012.

The deadline for submitting  accepted papers to the Proceedings will be January 15, 2013.
