New this year for the annual meeting!

The Women & Diversity committee announces a new award the “W&D Paper of the Year Award”. All SLB members that belong to “Women and diversity” category and have published first-author, corresponding-author or senior-author paper within last 5 years are invited to apply for this award. The only criterion that we will use for the evaluation of the paper is its importance based on the amount of citations per year. The winner will be invited to give a short presentation about his/her research at the Awards session of the Annual SLB Conference. As well, the awardee will also be invited to participate in the panel discussion during W&D Forum session and will be featured on W&D web page.

To apply for the W&D “Paper of the Year Award” applicants should submit a statement indicating how they fit the “W&D” category, a short CV and the full reference for one selected article published within the last 5 years with calculated citations per year according to the Web of Science database.  The citation report must also be included with the application.  The applicant may be either first author, senior author, or corresponding author. Equal contribution will be given to first, senior and corresponding author.  In order to receive this award, the applicant must register for the meeting.  The application for the W&D Paper of the Year award should be submitted directly to Julia Kzhyshkowska per e-mail Julia.kzhyshkowska@umm.de by July 2, 2012.

If there any additional question regarding the application to the “W&D Best Paper Award”, please, forward your questions to Julia Kzhyshkowska,  Julia.kzhyshkowska@umm.de.  The W&D committee will also be glad to hear your opinion and suggestions about our new award initiative.
