$3,700 Social Sciences Article Writing Competition - miklos - 09-03-2009
Scientific Article Writing Competition. Minimum 3,700 USD is to be awarded
To increase exposure of his revolutionary approach to understanding individual and group behaviors, Miklós Fodor, author of Self-Expansion: A New Paradigm for Psychology announces a social sciences article writing competition awarding minimum $3,700 in prizes.
Fodor, who holds degrees in psychology, political science, and economics, stresses that the competition is not only geared towards psychologists, but is open to all social science researchers and students. There are two categories:
* academic and practicing professionals, and
* undergraduate students.
There is no specified topic for articles. However, to be considered, the end product should contain a detailed consideration of the the featured model (FIPP - Fodormik s Integrated Paradigm for Psychology) in connection with the article s main topic. Some strategies that can lead to such an article include:
* investigation of the FIPP concept s usability within your own research field
* connecting FIPP, or parts of it, to major findings and current trends in psychology
* creating a new research or test that argues pro or contra the relevance of FIPP. (Special scholarships are available in the case of particularly promising experiments)
* reviewing the book - Self-expansion: an integrated paradigm for psychology - to include scientific evidence pro or contra the book as a whole or in part
If you are working on publishing a paper, connect your topic to FIPP, submit it, and we will consider that as your competition entry.
Prizes:
* Two Grand Prizes (one each category): $1,000
* Two Second Place Prizes (one each category): $350
* Two Third Place Prizes (one each category): $250
* Fourth, Fifth and Six Place Prizes (in categories with more than 50 contestants): $150
* Miklós Fodor s Special Prize: $500
The goal of this competition is not to write articles just for competition s sake: all contestants will receive an award of $150 when their article is published in science journals or major international broadsheet newspapers!
The first five competition submissions in each of the two categories (senior and undergraduate) will be awarded a printed copy of Self-Expansion.
The final choice of winners in each category will be decided by a vote of the contestants themselves.
To learn more about Miklós Fodor and his new book, browse psy2 org. Following registration, you will be able to download the .pdf version of his book Self-Expansion, to familiarize yourself with the key concepts. If you are interested in further participation, send a brief description outlining the way(s) in which FIPP relates to your research topic, the field you are working in, or area of interest.
A detailed description of the competition and the timing can be found ON Psychology 2 site! Submission deadline: September 30, 2009.
