Summary:
The APA alternates giving an award to the best article and book published in the previous two years. The new Book and Article Prizes replace the former Matchette Foundation Book Prize.
Process: Must be nominated by two APA members other than the author. Author must be a "younger scholar." The winners will be selected by a committee appointed by the Chair of the Committee on Lectures, Publications, and Research, in consultation with LPR committee members.
Frequency: The Article Prize is awarded every other year in even years.
Award Amount: $2,000 for the Article Prize
Last Award: 2012
Next Award: 2014
Submission Procedures:
Nominations are opened every other spring for the Article Prize for that year. Articles published in the prior two years are eligible. Thus, for 2014, the prize will be awarded to an article published in 2012 or 2013. (Eligibility is governed by the volume year of the journal, regardless of the date on which the issue containing the nominated article actually appeared in print.)
The prize is awarded for an article written by a "younger scholar." A "younger scholar" means the author was 40 years of age or younger in the year of the volume in which the article appears, or the author received his or her Ph.D. 10 years or less before that year. The winner must be a member in good standing of the APA.
To be considered for the prize, an article must be nominated by two members of the APA other than the author. A member may nominate only one article. Nominations should identify the author, title, journal, volume number, year, and page numbers. The APA will contact nominated authors for assurances of eligibility and to secure copies of the nominated article. Nominations must be received by March 15, 2014 for the 2014 award.
Send nomination letters to prizes@apaonline.org.
The winner of the award will receive $2000 and be presented with the prize at the Eastern Division Meeting of the Association. The APA Committee on Lectures, Publications and Research is responsible for organizing the Article Prize Selection Committee.
