Eligibility

  • Eligible papers must be published in peer‑reviewed journals or as book chapters during the calendar year before nomination (e.g., for a 2026 nomination, the publication must be from 2025). For journal articles, the official publication year is the year of the article’s first online publication (e.g., Advance Online Publication, Online First), as indicated by the publisher. Works that are still in press and have not been formally published online are not eligible.

  • Multi‑author works: The submitting (corresponding) author must be an SPSP member; coauthors are not required to be members.
  • If someone other than an author submits the nomination, that nominator must be an SPSP member, and the above eligibility criteria must also be met.

  • A summary of how the article fits the Rubric (limit 500 words)
