Publish Your Capstone Paper

Lambda Pi Eta National Communication Honor Society
Call for Submissions
 
Who’s Eligible: Undergraduate students with current LPH membership
Submissions Due: March 27 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time

Lambda Pi Eta (LPH) invites outstanding papers authored by undergraduate students in all areas of communication scholarship. Papers may be co-authored, as long as one co-author is an LPH member. All contributors must be undergraduate students at the time the paper is written. Only completed papers will be considered.

Submitters must include their LPH chapter affiliation. Papers may be submitted by students who have been approved for membership by their college chapter, but have not yet been formally inducted. However, the student must be inducted by the end of the academic year. Top papers submitted by LPH members will be considered for the Stephen A. Smith Awards. Both the top individual paper and the top co-authored papers receive a cash prize. Modest financial assistance may be available for students who present at the conference. Submissions that emphasize this year's conference theme of “Connections” will be given special presentation consideration.

Submission Requirements: Maximum length of papers is 25 double-spaced pages. Papers should include a title and 250-500 word abstract. Both single author and co-authored papers are allowed. Whether sole authored or co-authored, all papers must be the work of undergraduate students at the time they were written. Co-authored papers that include a graduate student or faculty member as one of the authors will not be accepted. All papers must be submitted online, using NCA Submission Central. Microsoft Word files are preferred. Word Perfect and PDF files are acceptable. Compressed or zip files will not be considered.

Scholar to Scholar Consideration: The Scholar to Scholar format allows undergraduate LPH members to present their papers in a highly visible and interactive poster-style format. Wandering scholars (e.g experts in the field) typically engage participants in discussion and provide feedback about their work. If you would like for your paper to be considered for Scholar to Scholar, check the designated box during the online submission process. Audiovisual equipment is not provided in the Scholar to Scholar format.
   
Removing Identifying Information: To ensure blind review, submitters should remove name, university affiliation, and LPH chapter affiliation from the paper before uploading to Submission Central. Identifying information should only be included on the form you complete prior to uploading your paper.

Reminder about Professional Standards: NCA upholds the highest ethical and professional standards for convention participants. Students are reminded to choose an original topic/method and to submit this work to only one professional conference.
