If you have any difficulty with the form, please e-mail Deborah Lyons (lyonsd@miamioh.edu). In the case of self-nominations, you will be asked to include a pdf of the paper. Published articles appearing in 2011, 2012, and 2013 are eligible. Where there is a discrepancy between the date of publication and the actual date of appearance, please include an explanatory note. If you have already nominated a paper by email, please complete the on-line form as well.
Self-nominations are warmly encouraged; information related to nominations is confidential.
Paper submissions must be anonymous, i.e., free of all clues to the author's identity. Article submissions should have identifying information blacked out before scanning.
All submissions should be sent electronically in pdf format.
