CALL FOR SUBMISSION: <<Chinese Doctoral Dissertation Abstracts Collection>>

                ----The first of a Series of Collections for Recent Overseas
                    Chinese Advanced Degree Holders and Active Scientists
****************************************************************************

        One of the most important aspects of scientific and technological
endeavors is the communication between researchers.  It is important to make
professional achievement and it is even more important to make your work
known to your peers in the professional community.  Many Chinese students
abroad have made significant contributions in their fields of expertise and
obtained advanced degrees.  The dissertations pertaining to their degrees
are the accumulation of their studies and a rich source of information about
original researches.

        In order to encourage the communication among researchers in various
disciplines and to promote the visibility of Chinese students in China and
abroad, Chinese Academic Link (CAL), a US-based academic organization of
overseas Chinese students and professionals, initiates the project of
compiling Chinese Doctoral Dissertation Abstracts Collection (CDDAC) as the
beginning of her series effort to collect and compile overseas Chinese
students' and professionals' academic accomplishments.  CDDAC will include
the abstract of a doctoral dissertation and a brief description of the
research activities of the degree holder.  Such a collection will be first
compiled in English and distributed among overseas Chinese research
communities and the research communities in China (include mainland, Taiwan
and Hong Kong), depending on financial capability.  We are currently
exploring the possibility of cooperation with Chinese Academy of Sciences
and other institutions to have it published and distributed in China.

        CAL calls upon all overseas Chinese degree holders, who have
obtained their doctoral degrees in the last several years in an accredited
institution outside China, to submit the abstracts of their dissertation to
the CDDAC editorial board.  Please follow the instructions below to fill out
the enclosed submission form.

        Thank you for your cooperation.
