Vestnik: Call for Student Papers

[Josh Wilson]

The School of Russian and Asian Studies is pleased to announce: 

 

 

Vestnik: The Journal of Russian and Asian Studies

**Call for Papers**

 

Vestnik, the Journal of Russian and Asian Studies, has returned to the
academic world! Vestnik, the world's first online journal focused on
showcasing student research on Eurasia, was on hiatus for more than two
years. However, its editorial staff has again assembled to continue this
fascinating and much-needed work. Having recently finished and published our
Winter, 2010 edition, we now welcome and invite papers written by
undergraduates, graduates, and postgraduates for another! Research on any
subject is accepted - politics, literature, art, history, linguistics, etc.
If your students have written solid research in the last year, encourage
them to send it to jwilson at sras.org! 

 

Deadline for submissions for the next issue: December 15, 2010

 

**$200 Jury Award**

Papers submitted for this edition of Vestnik will be eligible for a $200
Jury Award. After publication, the editorial board will select the best
(most interesting, original, and well-written piece) submission. The
recipient will be sent an official letter of congratulations along with a
$200 check. This process will take into account as well how receptive the
author was to improving the paper before publication under the guidance of
our editorial board. This award has been established for this issue of
Vestnik to mark its return to encouraging original research among students.

 

**Requirements and other Information**

Submitted papers should include, at the top of the first page, the
applicant's name, major, class standing, and a brief description of his/her
future plans. Submissions should not be more than 25 pages, should be in
double-spaced, 12-point TNR type with one-inch margins, and in MS Word or a
capital program. Since we are dealing with diverse subjects, we will accept
MLA, ALA and Chicago formats. Submissions should be accompanied with a
statement from the author saying where he/she is currently enrolled as a
student (or was at the time the paper was written), class (freshman,
sophomore, graduate student, etc.; if applicable), their future plans
(educational and professional), and the author's agreement to Vestnik's
policies and procedures. Vestnik's editor in chief welcomes questions by
email at jwilson at sras.org.
