IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication
Special Issue on Assessment in Professional Communication
Guest Editor: Thomas Orr, Center for Language Research, University of Aizu 
 
Full papers due: November 1, 2008 

Assessment is a crucial activity for effective decision-making in every
profession. To provide readers of IEEE Transactions on Professional
Communication with useful and innovative information on a wide range of
issues relative to assessment in professional communication, this special
issue invites researchers and experienced practitioners to share the results
of their research and experience via research papers, tutorials, and
teaching cases, as well as book reviews of recent publications on assessment
relative to assessing communication in the professions. Of particular
interest is assessment of professional communication skills in the fields of
science, engineering, or technology in university or workplace contexts, as
well as training programs for skill development in those fields. Assessment
research and practice related to communication and communication training in
other professions, of course, is welcome too. 

Possible topic areas for this special issue include but are not limited to
the following: 

*	Assessment of communication skills for program admission or
graduation decisions in science, engineering, computing, etc.  

*	Needs assessment for the design of communication training programs
for professional development in particular professions 

*	Assessment of professional communication skills for hiring,
promotion, or placement decisions 

*	Development or evaluation of pre- and post-assessment tools to
measure progress in profession-related communication skills 

*	Development of new technologies, methods, or procedures to measure
professional communication skills 

*	Development of goals, standards, benchmarks, evaluation criteria,
etc. for the assessment of professional communication skills 

*	Research-based critiques of current assessment problems and
shortcomings 

*	Evaluative surveys of existing assessment tools, programs, and
methodologies 

*	Research-grounded discussions of issues in assessment theory related
to professional communication skills or programs 

*	Case studies of effective use of assessment tools or procedures 

All papers will undergo a regular peer-review process, the results of which
will determine whether the paper will be published in this special issue of
the IEEE-TPC.
