Award Winners

Division Paper Awards

 

The Conflict Management Division (CMD) gives out five awards each year. The annual CMD conference program highlights four Best Paper awards that recognize the many ways our members are developing outstanding research. The fifth Most Influential Paper award recognizes a paper published 5-8 years ago that has made the most significant contribution to the study of conflict management. Self-nomination for all these awards is encouraged.

Most Influential Article Award

 

The Most Influential Article Award is given each year to an article or chapter published 5-8 years in the past that has made a significant and influential contribution to research in the Conflict Management Division (CMD) domain. Possible indicators of influence on the field might include citation count, generative research and theory impact, and wide use in doctoral seminars, among others. We encourage nominations of articles that our members have used in doctoral seminars or that have been important in guiding their own research.

 

To be eligible for this award, the article should be published (in print, not online) in the 5-8 year window previous to the annual conference year and be within the domain statement of CMD. A winning paper will be selected by a committee of five prominent scholars in the field invited by the Division Chair. They will consider papers from two sources: Those submitted in response to the “call for nominations” and from a collective search of papers within the eligible date range and CMD domain by the committee. The award will be presented at the annual conference during the CMD business meeting.
