AEJMC MIDWINTER CONFERENCE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA!



AEJMC MIDWINTER CONFERENCE 2020

March 6-7, 2020



Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication

University of Oklahoma


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

General Call for Paper Abstracts and Panel Proposals:

The AEJMC Midwinter Conference is an annual forum for the presentation 
of research and debate in areas relevant to the AEJMC groups (divisions, 
interest groups and commissions) sponsoring the event. The conference 
provides a platform for presentations and extended discussions in a 
relaxed setting.



We are happy to host the upcoming conference again at the Gaylord 
College, University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma between March 6 and 
7, 2020. Conference participants will be able to enjoy the College’s 
state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities, as well as many 
winter diversions outside the conference activities, including 
world-class museums and art galleries.



Paper abstract submissions: Authors are invited to submit research paper 
abstracts of between 600 and 800 words (word count excludes author 
information and references) appropriate to one of the Divisions or 
Interest Groups represented at the conference. Abstracts should give a 
clear sense of relevant literature, research objectives, methodological 
approach, stage of research project (conceptual, data gathering, data 
interpreting), findings and conclusions.



Submissions should be done online and by the December 1, 2019 deadline 
at: http://bit.do/Midwinter2020 or the full link 
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/AEJMCMW2020.



When submitting an abstract, please follow these steps:

    Go to the conference website (http://bit.do/Midwinter2020 or the 
full link https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/AEJMCMW2020).
    In the “AEJMC Midwinter 2020 Login” box, click on “Sign up here” as 
new user if you have not used this service before. Otherwise, just log 
in using your existing login.
    It will take you to a sign-up wizard, which is self-explanatory and 
guided. Finish signing up by confirming your email address.
    Once the account is set up, sign in using your email address and 
password.
    To submit the abstract, click on “Create a new Paper Submission”, 
and select the division/interest group you want to submit your abstract to.
    The next step will require you to provide the title of the paper, 
an abstract (9,000 characters maximum). If your abstract’s character 
count exceeds 9,000 characters, you can also attach it as a Word doc or 
PDF file. However, you cannot leave the abstract box empty, write a 
brief abstract or keywords for your paper if you choose to upload it as 
an attachment.
    Next you can add additional authors, if there are any. You can add 
as many authors as you need.
    Finally, click the submit button to upload the abstract.
    You will get a confirmation message once the submission is completed.
    You can log in to the site at any time to check the status of your 
submission or if you need to edit something. You can only do this up to 
the submission deadline of December 1, 2019, 11:59 p.m. Central Time. 
You would not be able to make any changes to your submission after the 
deadline.



Note that authors can submit any specific paper abstract to only one 
participating group – submitting the same paper abstract to several 
groups will result in disqualification and withdrawal from the review 
process. Do not submit full papers but please ensure that abstracts are 
between 600 and 800 words; shorter abstracts (i.e., 75 words) don’t 
allow for adequate consideration with longer abstracts. Authors must 
ensure that they remove any identifying information from their document.



Authors of accepted papers will be notified by mid-January 2020. Papers 
presented at the midwinter conference are also eligible for presentation 
at the AEJMC national convention in August. Authors are encouraged to 
use the midwinter conference as an opportunity to get feedback on their 
research, to improve and finalize it for submission to the national 
conference.



Authors of accepted abstracts must submit complete papers (not exceeding 
30 pages) to the discussant of their conference session at least two 
weeks before the midwinter conference. The midwinter chair for the 
relevant group will send authors the names and contact details of the 
discussant for their session.



At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the 
conference to present the paper. Failure to register by the deadline 
will result in authors’ names and papers being removed from the program. 
NO onsite registration will be available.



Some groups participating in the midwinter conference have award 
opportunities (e.g. for travel). Authors are encouraged to see the 
groups’ individual midwinter calls for details.



Panel submissions: In addition, the organizers are also inviting panel 
proposals. These panel proposals should NOT be done through the online 
abstract submission system. Instead, submissions for panels should be 
sent to the relevant midwinter chair directly via email (see list of 
participating AEJMC groups and the midwinter chair for each group 
below). The deadline for panel submissions is the same as for abstract 
submissions, December 1, 2019, 11:59 p.m. Central Time.



Panel submissions should include the panel title, a description of the 
session’s focus, the issues to be discussed, and a list of panelists 
(potential and confirmed), including affiliation. Proposals should not 
exceed two double-spaced pages.



The University of Oklahoma is located in Norman, 20 miles south of 
Oklahoma City, with easy access to the Will Rogers World Airport. 
Details on conference registration, hotel accommodation and airport 
transportation will be available at http://www.ou.edu/gaylord.
