2008 UAA Annual Meeting Best Paper Award

Call for papers for the Journal of Urban Affairs
*Deadline—July 22, 2008*

Each year, an issue of the Journal of Urban Affairs (JUA) is devoted to scholarship
presented at the annual meeting of the Urban Affairs Association (UAA). As many as six papers presented at the 38th annual meeting of UAA in Baltimore will be published in next year’s special annual meeting issue. Additional papers from the annual meeting, if accepted, will appear in another issue of JUA. Papers submitted from the annual meeting undergo the same peer review process as other manuscripts submitted to JUA.

One manuscript submitted for the special annual meeting issue will receive the
“Annual Meeting Best Paper Award.” The recipient of the award is selected by an
appointed committee and presented with the award at the next annual meeting. The
paper selected for this award is featured as the lead article in the annual meeting issue.

To be considered for the annual meeting issue and the Annual Meeting Best Paper
Award, your manuscript must be submitted to the Journal of Urban Affairs by
July 22, 2008. You may email your paper to jua@uci.edu or send five paper copies
to the editor at the address below. In either case, please clearly mark the paper as an annual meeting submission.

We look forward to reviewing your paper and thank you for participating in the 38th
annual meeting of the Urban Affairs Association.

Sincerely,
