DGOF Best Paper Award 2024

The German Society for Online Research (DGOF) annually recognizes 
outstanding scientific contributions in online research through the DGOF 
Best Paper Award for a researcher or group of researchers.

The DGOF by-laws define “online research” as any type of research about 
computers or other devices that are connected by a network, in 
particular the Internet. Online research includes online based data 
collection (e.g., web surveys in online panels), mobile research with 
smartphones, tablets, and wearables, and the collection and analysis of 
social media data, administrative data, data from passive measurements, 
and other Big Data sources.

The prize will be awarded to a paper that provides a fundamental 
scientific contribution to the advancement of the methods of online 
research. Topics that are suitable for the award can be found in the 
program of the annual General Online Research (GOR) conference 
(www.gor.de). Both theoretical/conceptual and empirical/methodological 
papers are considered for the award. Papers that do not focus on online 
research but, for example, merely use online data collection (e.g., 
through a web survey) to answer a substantive research question will not 
be considered.

The award is worth 500 Euro and will be presented at the annual GOR 
conference. An abstract (and, if available, a preprint) of the 
award-winning paper will be posted to the DGOF website (www.dgof.de). To 
be considered for the award, papers must be published in an outlet that 
uses a peer-review process (e.g., peer-reviewed journal, full papers in 
peer-reviewed conference proceedings, refereed book chapter) at the time 
of submission. Papers written in German or English and published not 
earlier than 2022 (if the paper was published online-first, then the 
online-first publication date counts) can be submitted for the DGOF Best 
Paper Award 2024.

following application form
