ALISE/ProQuest Methodology Paper Competition

Previous Winners
<http://www.alise.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=471#winners>

The purpose of this award is to stimulate communication on research
methodologies at ALISE annual conferences.

The competition is open to all types of methodology. Papers must be limited
to description and discussion of a research method or a technique
associated with a particular research method. (For example, papers may
address such areas as sampling, grounded theory, historical methods, or
statistical methods.) Papers must explain the particular method/technique,
including methodological implications for library and information science.
Examples to illustrate its value can come from LIS-related published
studies, proposed studies, and works in progress. Papers that stress
findings are not eligible for this competition.

One winning paper will be selected. An honorarium of $500 will be awarded
to the author(s). In cases of joint authorship, one honorarium will be
awarded for the paper. Methodology papers prepared by joint authors are
eligible for entry but at least one author must be a personal member of
ALISE as of the deadline date.
Award Criteria

   -

   Only one methodology paper per entrant will be considered; multiple
   entries from the same author will not be accepted. Authors may submit
   papers for other ALISE competitions; however, the same paper cannot be
   submitted for more than one category.
   -

   Authors may not submit papers that have been published. Manuscripts that
   have been submitted for consideration for publication as well as
   unpublished manuscripts posted to institutional repositories are acceptable
   as submissions. Authors who have won the award within the past five years
   are ineligible for this competition.
   -

   Papers submitted to this competition can originate from a variety of
   different sources and applicants are encouraged to develop such papers from
   their research. Methodology papers completed in pursuit of master's and
   doctoral studies (e.g. thesis, seminars, dissertation, course work paper)
   are eligible, as are papers generated as a result of a research grant or
   other source of funding.
   -

   The papers will be judged by the ALISE Research Committee with the
   assistance of additional ALISE members in those cases where the methodology
   warrants. All reviewing is "blind." Methodology papers will be judged on
   the following criteria:
   -

      Description of the method or technique
      -

      Explanation of methodological implications of the method/technique
      for LIS
      -

      Examples of actual or potential applications to library and
      information science research or studies in related fields (i.e., from
      published studies, proposed studies, and work in progress)
      -

      Appropriateness of the examples to the paper's focus on
      method/technique
      -

      Clarity in the writing and in the paper's organization

The committee reserves the right to select no winning paper if, in its
judgment, none of the papers is considered satisfactory.
Submission Requirements

   -

   Papers, including the abstract and references, must not exceed 25
   double-spaced pages (6,000 words), should have one inch margins and be in
   12 point font.
   -

   Two title pages must be sent: One with, and one without, author name(s)
   and institution. Both title pages must carry the name of the competition
   for which the paper is being submitted.
