...Guidelines for Submitting Papers Papers and articles in Library and Information Studies generally follow the social sciences paradigm. Most papers follow a format like the one outlined here. In graduate school, term-papers are usually about ten pages in length, and should be "publishable" with only minor grammatical changes. Grammar counts. Spelling matters. Do not rely upon automated spelling checkers. It often helps to have a colleague proof read your work. Identification Provide the name of the article, your name and contact information (e.g. your UB Email address). If the paper is for a class, provide the class name and number, the semester and year, and the name of the instructor. Check the SI Web site to make sure you have listed them correctly. You may not present the same essay in two different UB courses without the prior consent of both instructors. If you are writing for a journal, you may not submit the same manuscript to two different publishers at once. However, it is common practice to turn a conference presentation into a journal article. If you do that, be sure to mention that the current paper was previously presented in a modified form, and provide the details. If the paper was made possible by a grant, or with the help of some entity, provide the details. Abstract and Keywords (Required only if you are submitting a manuscript for publication). An abstract is a one or two paragraph summary of the article. A few keywords, (or key phrases), should be provided...

...360 Performance Appraisals The Morris Candy Company has decided to use the 360 Degree Performance Appraisal for our employee review method. The 360 degree performance appraisal is an evaluation method where the employee is evaluated by their immediate supervisor, their subordinates, and their peers (C.H., 2000). This method was chosen because it provides the employee with feedback from more than one source, unlike the traditional review method. It was also chosen because it would “provide a broad perspective on an employee’s strengths and developmental needs” (Johnson, 2004). There has been a lot of criticism of this method because of the anonymity of the reviews. Since the reviewers don’t have to be identified there is concern that some employees may provide less than honest reviews either to assist their peers in obtaining better raises or give less than glowing reviews to damage a colleague’s professional reputation (Johnson, 2004) The Morris Candy Company has decided to tailor the review process to make it more effective by eliminating the anonymity. Peer reviewers may choose to identify themselves in the reviews they give. This change will allow for open dialogue between co-workers to better help identify areas where change needs to occur in performance. The ultimate goal is to “treat the appraisal as a tool for growth rather than as a way to quantify performance benchmarks or set compensation levels” (Gallagher, 2008). The evaluation form has been designed to allow the...

...Associate Level Material Appendix F Research Plan As part of your Research Plan, you must draft a research question for your research paper. A research question, which is more specific and focused than a general topic, is the question that you will answer in your paper. For example, if your general area of interest is Social Security, a potential research question might ask, “How might low-income families save more money under a reformed Social Security plan that includes personal retirement accounts?” As you develop a research question, keep in mind that you will research sources with both supporting and differing viewpoints. Do not select a narrow or one-sided issue that will limit your research; instead, develop a research question that lends itself to further exploration and debate. |What is your topic or area of interest? |Affirmative Action | | | | | | | | | | |In what ways is this topic appropriate for a persuasive essay? |I feel that this topic is appropriate for a persuasive essay | | ...

...Chapter 1 Introduction The environment in which research is disseminated and used is undergoing a radical change and the task of modern HEIs is to better understand this change and support new ways of accessing content. It is now beyond doubt that the internet has revolutionised the way that research content is discovered, accessed and used. Content which once needed specialist skills to find is now widely available and searches which once took days of painstaking work can now be done in a matter of seconds. Increasingly, learners and new teachers’ needs are defined by their capacity to differentiate information: to recognise what is and what is not research content, to sort out the good from the bad, the useful from the merely relevant. The internet also appears to have had an impact on the way that research content is used in the real world. Many universities have invested heavily in learning spaces designed to facilitate the kind of social interaction that the internet promotes. Networks – online and offline – are increasingly a part of the way that the modern world evaluates information, including research content. Yet all this presumes that modern users will best know how to find their way in this new information environment, that they have the skills to find the right databases, enter the right search terms, to discover the most appropriate research content for their teaching and learning and use it in the most appropriate way. This study was commissioned by JISC...

Meek, and Eric T. Rapley ABSTRACT: The purpose of this paper is to provide a concise career guide for current and potential doctoral students in accounting and, in the process, help them gain a greater awareness of what it means to be an accounting professor. The guide can also be used by accounting faculty in doctoral programs as a starting point in mentoring their doctoral students. We begin with foundational guidance to help doctoral students better understand the “big picture” surrounding the academic accounting environment. We then provide specific research guidance and publishing guidance to help improve the probability of publication success. Actions are suggested that doctoral students and new faculty can take to help jump-start their academic careers. We finish with guidance regarding some important acronyms of special interest to doctoral students in accounting. Keywords: career guidance; doctoral students; research; publishing. INTRODUCTION igher education faces a severe, and growing, shortage of accounting professors. As a result, the job prospects for new accounting doctoral graduates are very good and are getting better. Starting salaries are increasing, but so are the requirements...

...Case Set Instructions Which cases do I complete, and when is each case set due? See the syllabus. How do I prepare the cases? Start with a cover page that provides class information (ACCT 4400, etc.) and the names of all team members. The cover page should also include the specific cases or parts of cases completed by each team member along with any reviewing responsibilities. The answers to the three cases in each case set must follow the order listed in the syllabus. All materials must be typed double-space using Times New Roman, 12-point font with 1 inch margins on all sides. There are exceptions to this rule: * Tables produced in Excel used as audit work papers and/or to show calculations do not have to be double-spaced. These tables must be copied and pasted into your write-up at the appropriate locations. * Table notes can be in 10-point font and do not need to be double-spaced. For an example, see Case Assignment 2-3. References are important so that a writer does not plagiarize (pass another person’s thoughts or words as her/his own). All references must be cited in the text and included in a reference list at the end of each case. Examples include the AICPA Code of Conduct, Auditing Standards, SEC statements, practitioner journals, web sites, and the textbook. You do not need to reference class notes or your own thoughts. To format references, use any of the three generally accepted methods: APA, Chicago, or MLA. The Purdue Online Writing Lab...

According to the biologist Russell Gray of the University of Auckland in New Zealand, "Linguists spin a bit of a story with case studies of individual languages." 3. Biological Concepts- Species, DNA, Phylogenies, 4. Personal Agenda- Yes, the author does have a personal agenda. Linguists method can revive languages from no more than 10,000 years ago. There are some reasons for the historical study of languages that people appear. Languages distinguish systematically, and they change in their nature of over time. We also can trace individual words and how sound develop from other languages. Furthermore, we also can describe that languages also reflect a change in how people think and see. A person who studies any language other than native, that means English differs from many other languages in having fever ending. As we know that Chinese languages are very complicated, and some other Asian languages go even much further with harder than any variety of words at all and are being accomplished by word order. 5.
