AEJMC Communication Theory and Methodology

Not Too Late to Volunteer

If you missed our call on the listserv, it’s not too late to volunteer to review for CT&M. Even if you’re planning on submitting a paper, you can still serve as a reviewer (you just won’t get to review your paper!). We anticipate each reviewer will receive 3 to 4 manuscripts for review. Reviewers will register and download their papers from our submission Web site after April 1 at: http://aejmc-ctm.confmaster.net/.

Reviewing is a service to our division and a chance to get to read some of the best research in our field. If you reviewed for the division last year—thank you. We hope you will continue to support our division. If you have not reviewed for us, please join your colleagues and volunteer.

To volunteer, simply send an e-mail to: umcjourctm@missouri.edu with the following information:

(1) Full name and mailing address
(2) Phone number
(3) E-mail address
(4) Research topics (and methods) you would like to review (or avoid)
(5) Whether you would be interested in serving as a moderator and/or discussant at
the conference (August 1-5 in San Francisco)

So far, we have not yet received any faculty nominations of ABD-level student reviewers. This can be a great opportunity to give students a peek at the peer review process. If you were thinking about nominating a student as a reviewer but haven’t, please do. In the past, we’ve had 10-12 student reviewers. Student reviewers make comments and receive the comments of the faculty reviews. However, ratings by students are not used in calculating the rankings for the paper competition.
