2011 Competitive Symposia

Call for Submissions

  
MNRS is also accepting submissions for competitive symposia for the 2011 Annual Conference. Symposia include 4-5 papers that relate to a single topic.  Each paper must be submitted as an individual abstract to the coordinator.  The abstracts may describe completed research or research in progress with a discussion of methodological considerations, a synthesis of related literature or other research topics of relevance.  Abstracts must include: Purpose, theoretical/conceptual framework, subjects, method and results and conclusions, as applicable.  The symposium title must be included with the submission.
 
Following the final selection of 4-5 abstracts, the coordinator organizes the selected abstracts into a symposium and submits them to MNRS electronically using the online instructions.
