MOLS2006, the International Conference on the Methodology of
Longitudinal Surveys, will be held in Essex, UK, in July 2006.
<>
The conference organisers are pleased to announce that a prize will be
awarded for the best paper presented at the conference by a full-time
student. A panel of judges will select the best paper based both on the
written paper and the presentation, with approximately equal weight
given to each. To be eligible, both the first author of the paper and
the presenter must be a full-time student enrolled during 2005-06 in a
recognised educational establishment. It is acceptable for the paper to
be co-authored by the student's supervisor or other non-student.
The prize, sponsored by John Wiley and sons, will be a set of books from
the Wiley Survey Methodology
<http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-2625.html>series, with a list
price of over £300 (over US$500). The winner will also receive a
certificate.
To be considered for the prize, the paper must be accepted as a
contributed conference paper. An abstract must be submitted by 19
December 2005. Additionally, a full written paper must be submitted by
25 May 2006 for consideration by the judges. In both the paper and
presentation, we are looking for clarity of thought and of presentation
and originality and relevance of the contribution. We reserve the right
to request proof of student status. The prize will be awarded during the
final plenary session of the conference by the conference Chair.
