AWARDS NOMINATION PROCESS<br />

Communications Society Paper <strong>Awards</strong><br />

The Communications Society's <strong>Awards</strong> Committee retains responsibility for the ultimate<br />

selection of winning papers and functioning of the awards process. It coordinates<br />

the nomination and decision processes; and staff orders the certificates,<br />

plaques, and honorariums.<br />

Magazine and Journals Editors-in-Chief are responsible for generating short nomination<br />

lists for their respective prizes, these lists become the major basis for decisions<br />

of the <strong>Awards</strong> Committee. Nominations are solicited by each Editor-in-Chief from<br />

his/her Editorial Board, guest editors, and the readership. Nominations may be solicited<br />

in a published notice. These nominations are then screened/reduced to a short list<br />

and submitted to the <strong>Awards</strong> Committee for final selection. (See specific details<br />

under each paper award.)<br />

The Society welcomes nominations for Prize Papers published in the prior year. Such<br />

action will give a deserving colleague a chance for one of these prestigious awards. A<br />

nomination should clearly state the authors, paper title, the publication and issue in<br />

which the paper appeared, and, in a few words, why the paper deserves an award. It<br />

should then be sent to the Editor-in-Chief of the publication in which the paper<br />

appeared (see current EICs listed under “Publications” in front part of the ComSoc<br />

Community).<br />
