CALL FOR PAPERS
MENC National Conference
Nashville, Tennessee, April 11 - 14, 2002

        The Music Educators National Conference will sponsor a session to
disseminate the results of excellent research at its National Biennial
In-Service Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, April 11 - 14, 2002.
Researchers whose reports are chosen for presentation will be required to
prepare a  poster describing their research and to be available during the
presentation session to discuss their work with interested music educators.
Participants will be required to furnish 10 copies of a complete report (one
of which will be collected for the MENC Archives and the remainder to be
available for distribution at the presentation session) and 150 copies of a
report summary (limited to one or two pages).  Participants may also be
asked to respond to post convention inquiries about their work that could
include requests for full copies of their reports.
        Those who wish to submit a report for consideration should comply
with the following guidelines:

1.  Papers submitted for presentation must comply with the Code of Ethics
published in the most recent Spring edition of the Journal of Research in
Music Education in that:  (a) Papers should not have been presented at
another major conference; (b) If the data have been presented in whole or
substantive part in any forum or at previous research sessions, a statement
specifying particulars of the above must be included with the submission;
and, (c) The paper may have been submitted but must not be in print prior to
the biennial meeting.

2.  Papers presented at conferences other than national MENC-sponsored
conferences will be considered if the audience was substantially different
(e.g., a state meeting or a university symposium).  A statement specifying
particulars of presentation must be included with the submission.

3.  The research may be of any type but a simple review of literature
normally will not be considered for presentation.  Manuscript style of
articles representing descriptive or experimental studies must conform to
the most recent edition of the  Publication Manual of the American
Psychological Association.  Authors of other types of studies may submit
manuscripts that conform to the most recent editions of either A Manual for
Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations (K.L. Turabian) or The
Chicago Manual of Style.

4.  Submit four hard copies of a full report (article-length manuscripts
only, in English) beginning with an abstract no longer than 250 words
summarizing the research. Each author's name, institutional affiliation,
mailing address, and e-mail address should appear only on one separate cover
page not attached to the full reports with abstracts.  Either a running head
(if using APA format) or the title of the paper should appear on the
abstracts and the full reports.  Incomplete submissions (e.g., reports
without abstracts or projects in progress) will be rejected.  Please note
that two-sided duplication of copies for submission is encouraged.

5.  Correspondence will be sent to the first author only.  Once your
submission has been sent, please register it by e-mailing all cover page
information to aadarrow@ukans.edu.  If you do not have access to e-mail,
then you must submit two self-addressed, stamped envelopes.   You will be
notified of receipt of your paper and the reviewers' decision by e-mail
unless envelopes are enclosed.

6.  Submissions should be sent to Alice-Ann Darrow, MEMT, 448 Murphy Hall,
University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas 66045.

7.  Submissions must be postmarked by September 1, 2001 and received by
September 15, 2001.  Extensions cannot be granted.

8.  Submitted reports cannot be returned.

9.  All submissions will be screened by a panel of qualified judges.

10.  All participants must be members of MENC and registered at the 2002
Conference.

2001.
