Prizes and Awards

Lisbon, 2009 Nominees

The submissions of all candidates were blindly reviewed by 3 reviewers. Based on their scores (on Innovativeness/ Use of theory/ Quality of design/ Quality of measures/ Quality of analyses/ Quality of intervention/ Overall quality of presentation), an objective ranking was made by the abstract review committee. For each category the three highest ranked abstracts were nominated for the early career and student prizes. The nominees will each be evaluated by 2 independent raters at the Lisbon meeting and for each category one winner will be selected. The four winners will get a free registration for the Annual ISBNPA Meeting 2010 in Minnesota.
