    2017
    
    
    
    CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
    
    
    
    1. NATURE OF THE AWARD
    
    The scholarship will consist of an award of USD 3,000 (donated by the
    
    Eugene Garfield Foundation) to cover any research related expenses
    
    (including traveling) of the grant recipient, contingent upon the
    
    recipient's attending ISSI 2017, the next ISSI biennial conference.
    
    This conference will be held in Wuhan, P. R. China from October 16 till
    
    October 20, 2017.
    
    
    
    2. PURPOSE OF THE AWARD
    
    The purpose of this scholarship is to foster research in informetrics,
    
    including bibliometrics, scientometrics, webmetrics and altmetrics by
    
    encouraging and assisting doctoral students in the field with their
    
    dissertation research.
    
    
    
    3. ELIGIBILITY
    
    The scholarship recipient must meet the following qualifications:
    
    (a) Be an active doctoral candidate pursuing research using informetric,
    
    bibliometric, scientometric, webmetric or altmetric methodology in a
    
    degree-granting institution;
    
    (b) Have a doctoral dissertation proposal accepted by the institution or
    
    by their dissertation advisor.
    
    Clarification: an active doctoral student is someone who has not yet
    
    obtained the doctoral degree at the moment he/she receives the award.
    
    Moreover, the applicant need not be a member of ISSI to be considered for
    
    this scholarship.
    
    
    
    4. ADMINISTRATION
    
    The award is sponsored by the Eugene Garfield Foundation with the
    
    cooperation of the Chemical Heritage Foundation, and is administered by
    
    the Board of the International Society for Scientometrics and
    
    Informetrics (ISSI).
    
    
    
    
    
    5. NOMINATIONS
    
    Submission should include the following:
    
    (a) The doctoral research proposal, including a description of the research,
    
    methodology, and significance, 10 pages or less in length, double-spaced,
    
    and in English;
    
    (b) A copy of the paper submitted for presentation at the ISSI Conference;
    
    (c) A cover letter from the dissertation advisor endorsing the proposal
    
    and confirming that the contents of this proposal are accepted by the
    
    institute, or at least by the advisor;
    
    (d) An up-to-date curriculum vitae.
    
    
    
    6. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS AND DEADLINE
    
    Deadline for submission is April 20, 2017. All proposals should be submitted in PDF
    
    by e-mail to ISSI Board member Birger Larsen at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. An
    
    acknowledgement of receipt will be sent to candidates.
    
    
    
    7. CONFERENCE PRESENTATION
    
    The recipient of the award will be given the opportunity to present
    
    his/her work either during a normal session (if his/her paper has been
    
    accepted for presentation), either as a special lecture on the same level
    
    as research in progress. This presentation will be referred to as the
    
    special Eugene Garfield Doctoral Dissertation Scholarship Lecture.
    
    
    
    Some further clarifications
    
    a) The candidate must have the intention to attend the conference, as
    
    shown by a submitted paper.
    
    b) The awardee is free to use the award money as he/she pleases. The award
    
    does not have to (but of course may) be used for travelling to the conference.
    
    c) The awardee is not automatically entitled to an (extra) travel grant
    
    from the conference organizers or from ISSI. Of course he/she may apply
    
    for such a grant (if such grants are made available by the organizers)
    
    like any other conference participant.
