Your new conception has been created. You can now finish editing it and then submit.

Add a New Concept

Thanks for contributing to the Conception Database. The process is easy, we will walk you through it in a few simple steps.

Conception

" . $ERROR['concept'] . "

"; } if ($ERROR['duplicate']){ echo "

" . $ERROR['duplicate'] . "

"; } if($EXECUTE_DUPLICATE_CHECK){ echo "

I understand there appears to be a similar conception already in the database and I believe my submission will not duplicate another entry, instead it will provide different, better, or contrary information.

\n"; } ?>

What is the name of the conception? Examples include "Framing" or "Social Penetration". Please don't start the name with words like "the" or "a" and you do not need to include "theory" if that is applicable.

Author

" . $ERROR['author'] . "

"; ?>

Who is the author of this conception? This might be another person such as Robert Entman for "Framing" or you might be sharing your own work, so you would be the author.

Write out the author's full name without commas like "Kenneth D. Burke".

Enter ONLY ONE author, if there are multiple authors enter the first one and you will be able to add the rest on the next page.
