Outstanding Publication Award
(Nomination deadline -- March 1, 2013):
Please consider nominations for the 2013 Division Outstanding
Publication Award. This award is given annually for a published work
(paper, book, or map) of exceptional distinction that clearly
advances the science of structural geology or tectonics. The
Outstanding Publication
Award is not limited to members of the Division or the Society, and
awardees may be single or multiple authors, with no restrictions as
to nationality, citizenship, publisher or publishing agency.
The award may not be given posthumously unless the decision to give
the award is made before the death of the awardee(s). A list
of past awardees is provided below. Click
here to download a PDF a copy of the nomination
instructions.
The nomination process is simple, quick, and enjoyable. The award is
important because it serves to recognize exceptional science and
creativity while also inspiring others. Participation in the process
offers you a chance to revisit and reflect on publications that have
had a major impact on your work and (or) teaching.
Please take a few moments to make a short list of exceptional
publications. Return to your list and reread your favorites. As you
review these favorites, jot down a few notes. Finally, choose one to
nominate and write a nomination that supports your choice. Some
questions to consider:
• Why is the publication exceptional?
• How has the contribution changed your work?
• What are specific advances made by the publication?
• How might the work have influenced the work of others?
Nominations include:
(1) A full citation.
(2) Nomination (as short as a paragraph; letters or reviews may also
be included).
(3) Name and address of nominator.
The nomination deadline is: March 1, 2013.
