Opportunity to Submit Research Papers for STPA Paper Competition
STPA invites undergraduate and graduate students who have written research papers related to transportation policy and administration during calendar year 2009 to submit their papers for consideration. Papers should be prepared according to a standard style such as APA. They should be between 15 and 25 pages in length and include citations and references. The review committee encourages students to submit copies of previously prepared research papers, conference papers, and journal article manuscripts. Literature reviews and review essays are not eligible for consideration. Papers co-authored with faculty members are not eligible. The committee will evaluate papers in a blind review process (students are asked to limit self-references to a title page that can be removed prior to review by the committee). Papers should be submitted as an e-mail attachment using MSWord (.doc) or Rich Text Format (.rtf).
The best paper will receive a $250 prize and a certificate of recognition from the Section on Transportation Policy and Administration. The best paper award will be presented at the ASPA annual meeting in 2010.
Deadline for Submissions: December 15, 2009
Send papers or questions regarding this call for papers to: Dr. Deniz Zeynep Leuenberger at dleuenberger@bridgew.edu (508-531-6125)
