Call for Nominations—2014 M&SOM Best Paper Award
Abstract
Each year Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) selects one paper for its Best Paper Award. This paper is deemed most deserving for its contribution to the theory and practice of operations management.
Nominations for this award will be accepted until March 30, 2014.
All papers published in one of the prior three volumes of M&SOM (Volumes 13–15) are eligible. Nominations should be mailed to the editor ([email protected]) and will be handled as confidential input to be used only for the purposes of this award. Self-nominations are fine. Each nomination should contain the following information:
Name, affiliation, and email address of the nominator(s).
Bibliographic reference of the nominated paper.
Statement of support for the nomination—the nominator(s) should discuss the significance of the paper’s current and future contribution to the theory and practice of operations management. A typical nomination is on the order of one page.
The M&SOM editor and editorial board will screen the nominations to determine a set of finalists. From the set of finalists, the Best Paper will be selected by an ad hoc committee appointed by the Manufacturing and Service Operations Management Society, in consultation with the M&SOM editor. The 2014 M&SOM Best Paper will be announced at the Manufacturing and Service Operations Management Society’s summer 2014 conference. A subsequent announcement will be published in the journal along with the paper’s abstract and a statement from the ad hoc committee highlighting the paper’s contribution. The authors of the Best Paper will share a $2,000 cash award, provided by the Manufacturing and Service Operations Management Society of INFORMS.
