The Research Committee aims to stimulate and facilitate research activities within Southern Chapter membership through recognition, encouragement, and support for chapter members engaged in ongoing research projects.
Beginning in 2003, at the Annual meeting in Coral Gables, Florida, a new series of awards will be presented to the author(s) of the best research paper and the best research poster presentations. The Executive Board has authorized monetary awards for presented papers :1st ($300.00), 2nd ($200.00), and 3rd ($100.00); and posters: 1st ($200.00), 2nd ($100.00), and 3rd ($50.00).
The Research
Committee coordinates the judging.
Papers and posted are scored using
similar criteria to that used by
the MLA Research Committee at MLA
Annual Meetings. Points are awarded
for study design, validity, reliability,
presentation, and implications
of the research. Complete judging
criteria and scores are available
online.
