Best Paper Award
The Best Paper Award for 2024 has been presented and the competition is currently closed. The following is the last announcement, now out of date.
The IES is pleased to announce the 2024 IES Best Paper Award competition. The IES looks forward to highlighting exciting advances and breakthrough development in the broad area of EPR and ESR. This award will be given to up to 2 publications per year (from April 1st 2023 to May 15th 2024). The first author(s) will be recognized and a monetary prize awarded. This will be $200 per paper. The expectation is that the first author is a young scientist (student or post-doc). Nomination can be made by any ACTIVE IES member (namely – dues must currently be paid) at any level (faculty, early career or student). If self-nomination is made, it can be made only by the first author or the corresponding author. Nomination by the first author should be accompanied by a letter from the corresponding author explaining the role of the first author. The deadline for the nomination paperwork is May 15th 2024.
The application material that includes the following items should be packed into a single PDF document and emailed to the IES secretary [email protected] .
a. Cover letter not exceeding 1 page with your name, role, and affiliation, full citation of the paper, and explanation as to why this paper represents an exciting advance and breakthrough development in the broad area of EPR and ESR.
b. PDF of the nominated publication.
c. Letter from the corresponding author, collaborator and/or advisor, explaining the role of the nominated first author.
