Looking to build upon the previous years of successful student publication, the WRD Committee for Creating Knowledge encourages faculty to identify strong papers and projects for submission. We are seeking submissions from WRD majors and minors in 200-level and above courses from the current academic year 2022–2023 as well as scholarship from SQ 2022, which is also eligible.
All submissions should follow the LAS guidelines (see below) and should be emailed to Dr. Tim Elliott (t.elliott@depaul.edu) by Friday May, 26th.
The committee will read the submissions and choose one for publication. The committee may ask for revisions before the final submission to the CK editor by June 30, 2022. Any questions about the process may be directed to Dr. Elliott.
LAS Submission Guidelines
- All contributions must be in Word (.docx) format.
- The paper should be double-spaced.
- There is a maximum word limit of 5000. This limit includes the main text, notes, and any supplementary material (bibliography, appendices, captions, etc.).
- All graphs or images should be submitted separately from the Word file and at high resolution (at least 300 dpi+). The locations of these images are to be clearly marked within the text.
