Each award's results are listed by year, with cumulative results listed chronologically, by nominee, and by category. <br><br> There is a separate page for every nominee, indexed under the Names tab above, with additional pages for those with more than a few nominations showing results sorted chronologically and alphabetically by title. <br><br> The site supplements awards data with books and stories listed by "citations" -- including critical books and all-time polls -- and stories included in prominent "anthologies.". These sources are listed separately under the indicated tabs, with the books and stories merged with the awards data on the Names pages. <br><br> (This site is a rebranding, redesign, and expansion of the <a href="http://www.locusmag.com/SFAwards/">Locus Index to Science Fiction Awards</a>, established in 2000 but now deprecated by this site beginning 2012, except for that site's homepage and the essays linked in the left pane.) <br><br> -- <a href="mailto:markrkelly@locusmag.com">Mark R.
