Selection Criteria

The Outstanding Publication Award is presented to the individual or individuals who meet the following criteria as approved by the SIG and Council:

• Significance: The issues presented are not obvious and trivial but interesting, creditable, and natural and are not chosen because they are easy to deal with.
  	

• Clarity: Clearly written, content accessible and engaging for a non-specialist audience.
  	

• Quality: Scientific and methodological soundness of the paper and inclusion of details that allow checking the accuracy of the reflections, results, and citations.
  	

• Originality: Not necessarily the generation of new knowledge, although that would be novel, but rather the uniqueness of the combination of the issues, techniques, and methods in their application to a certain domain.
  	

• Presentation: Well-structured with a coherent and consistent methodological order that ensures intelligibility of what is being said and a logical conclusion.
  	

Each submission will be rated (scored) on a scale of 1 – 5 against each of the five criteria below.
