Call for Contributed Papers for NABE 2006 Annual Meeting

$1000 Prize for Best Paper

Review Procedure

As a NABE member, you are encouraged to participate actively in the NABE Annual Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts on September 10-12, 2006.  How?  By submitting a paper for the NABE Edmund A. Mennis Contributed Papers Award.  Here are the details.

  1. Email a 250-word abstract (one page, double-spaced) of a proposed paper (with no author identification) and a biographical (also one-page) sketch no later than April 28, 2006 to Susan Doolittle, NABE Executive Director at doolittle@nabe.com. Topics should be related to the theme of the annual meeting, which will be announced shortly, or should reflect original research by the author on topics or in areas that would be of practical value to NABE members in fulfilling their job responsibilities.
  2. By May 12, a Selection Committee appointed by Robert Crow, Business Economics Editor, will review the anonymous abstracts. At up to eight abstracts will be selected. The authors will be requested to provide completed papers for review by June 30. The guidelines for preparation will be the same as those for all manuscripts submitted to Business Economics. These guidelines are printed in Business Economics, and they are also available on the NABE website or on request from the Editor of Business Economics.
  3. From these final papers the Committee will select two for presentation at a session of the annual meeting. Each paper will be commented on by a discussant, with time available for general audience participation.
  4. The following awards will be made to the authors of the two selected papers:

    • The author of the best paper will receive the NABE Edmund A. Mennis Contributed Paper Award, a prize of $1,000, a commemorative plaque, and will pay no fee for attendance at the meeting. The paper (as modified by the author if desired) will be published in a future issue of Business Economics.
    • The author of the second paper also will receive a commemorative plaque, will pay no fee for attendance at the meeting, and the paper (as modified by the author if desired) will be published in a future issue of Business Economics.
    • The remaining papers will be reviewed for publication in Business Economics in future issues.
  5. In fairness to all prospective authors, you are requested to adhere strictly to the deadlines and other instructions listed above. If you have questions, please contact Robert Crow, Business Economics Editor at 650-343-7615 or rtcrow@comcast.net
