Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I nominate myself? Yes, self-nominations are welcome.
  • Are white papers and reports eligible?  Yes, there are many paths to publication.  We welcome white papers and reports that have been formally published along with scholarship that has been published in books and journals.
  • Are publications by student authors allowed? A student award may be given provided there are enough high-quality submissions in the student category. A submission can be considered in the student category if the primary author(s) were currently enrolled in a master’s or doctoral degree program at the time the publication was written.  There is a space on the nomination form to indicate that the nomination should be considered in the student category.
  • Can I send the documents in hard copy? We are only accepting electronic nominations submitted through the INSciTS website.  This is environmentally conscious and makes it easier to distribute the nominations to reviewers.  The supporting documentation should be submitted as a single file, preferably as a PDF.
