DAS Publication Award Application Process

Electronic nominations are preferred and should include the author's name and full journal citation or book title. Nominators should ensure that the Publication Award Committee has a copy of the publication, preferably in electronic form (if not a book), prior to the submission deadline. Self-nominations are encouraged. Historically, most nominations for this award have been self-nominations, however, others who wish to write in support of a publication (commenting in a substantive way on the impact of the work) are also encouraged to do so. Testimonials from those who have benefited from a work published in 2010 will be especially helpful to our decision process.

Nominated publications will be judged with respect to significance, relevance, originality, and readability. The award will be presented at the INFORMS annual meeting. Membership in the Decision Analysis Society is not a condition for being a nominator or a nominee. Nominations (including self-nominations) should be sent to the committee chair no later than June 1, 2012, preferably via e-mail.
