WERS 2004 User Group - Third Meeting


Call for Papers

The third meeting of the WERS 2004 User Group will take place on Friday 26th October 2007 at the University of Warwick.

WERS 2004 User Group meetings follow a similar format to those organised by other survey user groups. The WERS 2004 Information and Advice Service (http://www.wers2004.info) will outline developments in the use and enhancement of the survey data. However, the major part of the proceedings will be devoted to presentations from invited speakers on analytical issues or WERS 2004-based research.

Call for Papers

Users of WERS 2004 who would like to present a paper at the forthcoming meeting are invited to submit an abstract of around 500 words by Friday 14th September 2007. Abstracts should be sent by e-mail to: wers2004@niesr.ac.uk and should indicate the substantive content of the paper, including the research method and main findings. Abstracts based on papers with multiple authors should also specify the name and contact details of the presenter (to whom all correspondence shall be addressed). A draft of the complete paper may be submitted with the abstract, if available. Papers are welcome on all topics covered by the survey and may present research findings or address methodological issues.

• Deadline for submission of a 500 word abstract: Friday 14th September 2007
• Deadline for submission of final paper: Friday 12th October 2007

Each paper will be given a 45-minute time-slot at the meeting. Speakers will be given 25 minutes in which to present their paper. A further 20 minutes will then be provided for questions and discussion.
