Dear SIG-IT Members,

SIG-IT is pleased to announce the awards program for the AERA annual meeting.  Please note that all AERA SIG IT Awards are distributed by our group for AERA. The two awards are:

  • Best Paper Award
  • Best Student Paper Award

The SIG-IT Best Paper Award will be presented to the scholar with the best research paper already submitted to SIG-IT and accepted for presentation at the AERA Conference in any format (paper, poster, or roundtable). The award recipient (or a group of awardees) will be given a plaque at the SIG-IT Business meeting during the annual meeting. 

The SIG-IT Best Student Paper Award will be presented to an emerging scholar who is currently a student and who has had a paper accepted by SIG-IT for the AERA Conference in any format (i.e., paper, poster, or roundtable). The purpose of the award is to encourage student participation within SIG-IT.  The award recipient (or a group of awardees) will receive a certificate.
