Call for Papers: The process of
paper submittals and presentations was modified to allow a peer review
cycle. Dr. Mohamed El‑Gafy
handled the challenge of coordinating this task admirably for the past two
years and has agreed to do so again this year. The region will need
peer reviewers for the process. Please read the following information
and reply to Professor El-Gafy accordingly. |

Call for Reviewers |

The Associated Schools of Construction Region 3 recognizes
the value and importance of the peer reviewer in the overall publication
process — not only in shaping the individual manuscript, but also in shaping
the credibility and reputation of the conference proceeding. |
|
|
|
The identification and selection of reviewers who have
expertise and interest in the topics appropriate to each manuscript are
essential elements in ensuring a timely, productive peer review process.
Generally, reviewers are asked to review one or two manuscripts and to return
their comments within one week. In an effort to facilitate the
selection of appropriate peer reviewers for the ASC Region 3 conference
proceeding, we ask that you take a moment to send your contact information to
Dr. Mohamed El-Gafy at elgafy@msu.edu by
September 17, 2010. |
