AWARD CRITERIA
Proposed by the SMS Research Methods Community and first presented in 2019, the Research Methods Paper Prize recognizes research that is presented at the Annual Conference and introduces a new or improved method or exemplifies an adept application of an existing method. The prize recognizes studies that make significant advances to any type of methodology (qualitative, quantitative, or both) and methodological decision (e.g., sampling, design, measurement, analysis, modeling, etc.).
Nominated authors are invited to submit a full version of their submitted proposal for consideration. Their papers are peer reviewed and finalists are named prior to the conference. The winner is honored at the conference with the SMS Research Methods Paper Prize and will receive an award of US$1,500.
