Requires three reference letters.</p> <p style="text-align: justify"><strong><em>Prize</em><em>: </em></strong>Total honorarium of $1,000 equally split between the co-authors and a certificate to each. A single annual award</p> <p style="text-align: justify"><strong><em>Eligibility: </em></strong>At least one author of a nominated paper must be IEEE member and NTC participant at the time of publication. The award can be given to an individual or group of authors co-authoring a single high-impact paper of the highest quality and visibility published in a Nanotechnology Council (NTC) publication between 10 and 25 years ago. Such manuscript must show a high impact on nanotechnology research across at least one area of relevance and investigation.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Author(s) of papers published less than 10 years ago, papers authored by voting members of the NTC Executive Committee and previous award winners are not eligible. Papers as recipients of Best Paper Awards for Nanotechnology Council publications, e.g., IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology, the IEEE Nanotechnology Magazine Best-Paper Award, or the IEEE Open Journal on Nanotechnology, are also not eligible for this award.</p> <p>The nomination for the same paper can be submitted at most twice in two consecutive years.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Previous award winners are not eligible for substantially the same achievements. Eligibility and Selection process shall comply with procedures and regulation established in IEEE and Society/Council governing documents, particularly with IEEE Policy 4.4 on Awards Limitations (An individual shall receive only one award for a given achievement, unless the significance merits a higher award, which may be given in the following year or thereafter.)</p> <p>There are no other requirements.</p> <p style="text-align: justify"><strong><em>Basis for Judging</em>:</strong> Each member of the award committee (with no COI) must submit the score for each nomination to the chair:</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Each member of the Committee evaluates each nominated paper on several aspects (long term), including but not limited to: impact, quality of writing and presentation, relevance of the topic, importance and relevance to nanotechnology-based communities, and emergence of stimulated contributions across the entire nanotechnology field.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">The range of the score by each member of the committee is from 0-5. The Chair will generate for each nomination a scoring table (with averages) to be distributed to the members of the Committee. The Committee will consider the scoring table of each nomination and then pick the top 3 candidates by unanimous or majority decision and rank them. The Committee Chair does not vote, except to break ties. Upon completion of this process, the Committee Chair will send the ranked list to the NTC Executive Committee for their consideration and final approval of the awarded paper at its May meeting.</p> <p style="text-align: justify"><strong><em>Presentation: </em></strong>The award will be presented at the annual IEEE Conference on Nanotechnology (NANO) banquet.
