My apologies once again for the cross-postings _______________________________________ Dear Colleague, As the first issue of *connexions* journal will aggregate the points of view of practicing professionals, academics, and students to chart the map of the field, and we wish to collect many more contributions in order to get the broadest and most detailed view of the area, we are extending the deadline. The deadline to submit your manuscripts for the journal’s *1(1) issue* is now* January 31, 2012*. I would also like to clarify 3 points: - the length of the *final* position statements and literature reviews is *400-500 words* (this seems an ideal length to get a broad, yet detailed picture of the major trends and tendencies in the practice, teaching, and research of IPC and its context in the past, present and future), - please submit the final 400-500 word statements or reviews, not article abstracts, - when submitting a position paper, please explain any discipline- and work-specific terms, concepts and implicit references, in order to cater for the journal’s diverse audience. Thank you for considering writing a paper for the First Issue of *connexions•international professional communication journal | revista de comunicação profissional internacional*. I will be glad to answer your questions, Best, Rosário Durão Editor editor@connexionsjournal.org connexionsjournal.org ******************************* Rosário Durão URL: http://www.rosariodurao.net ******************************* "The public is the only critic whose opinion is worth anything at all."
