Best Paper Competition Deadline Feb. 1
The deadline to submit papers for the University Scholars Program’s
2005 Best Paper Competition is February 1, 2005. To enter, you must be a
2004-2005 University Scholar in good standing. The contest is judged each
spring by a committee appointed by the Dial Center for Written and Oral
Communication and winners will be announced at the USP’s Annual Spring
Banquet in April. Four awards, totaling $1,000, will recognize the two best
qualitative and quantitative research articles.
Submissions must total no more than 2,000 words, not including graphs, tables, and figures, and follow the general format of papers published in the Journal of Undergraduate Research. Entries should be sent to Susan Ciccarone at susanc@cwoc.ufl.edu. All papers submitted to the JUR by February 1—including both published papers and those under review—will qualify and be automatically submitted to the contest unless otherwise requested by the author.
