Communication Yearbook 32--Call for Submissions

Communication Yearbook 32 will feature state-of-the-discipline
literature reviews of communication research. In particular, the volume
will highlight reviews of research exploring communication concepts that
span traditional "division" divides, issues of central importance to the
accomplishment of communication in a variety of contexts and for diverse
communicators throughout the world. The volume will also feature
literature reviews that detail how bodies of research can and should
inform and enhance other scholarly areas in the broader communication
discipline as well as enlighten various stakeholders as they wrestle
with interpersonal, health, organizational, inter/intracultural,
international, mediated, technological, political, rhetorical, and/or
societal communication challenges.

Potential contributors may submit a narrative analysis or a
meta-analysis; however, they should carefully integrate comprehensive
and thoughtful synthesis and critique of core research findings as well
as reflections on future directions for this area of scholarship in
terms of theory and application. Potential contributors may certainly
review relevant literature published in any language, but submissions
must be written in English. Submissions must adhere to APA, 5th edition.

Potential contributors must submit extended abstracts (e.g., 10-15
pages) or complete manuscripts (maximum of 70 pages, including all
references and

tables) by no later than November 15, 2006. Early submissions are highly
encouraged. If authors opt to submit an extended abstract, they must
include (a) a compelling rationale for the value of the particular
literature review for a global community of diverse communication
scholars and stakeholders, (b) a persuasive description of (and argument
for) the bodies of scholarship that will be reviewed, and (c) a specific
outline for the more developed chapter. Notably, the extended abstract
does not need to reference all of the particular articles and/or books
that may be reviewed, but it should provide clear explanation of how the
literature review will be conducted and how relevant bodies of work will
be selected.

Please submit documents electronically via Word attachment to Dr.
Christina S. Beck, Editor, Communication Yearbook 32, at BECK@ohio.edu.
All documents must be prepared in advance for blind review, with all
identifying aspects removed. Authors must mask references to their own
works within the text. The title page must be submitted as a separate
word document, and it should include all contact information (i.e.,
mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, and fax number) for
all authors as well as a list of keywords for the submission.
