Awards
Every year, CINet selects two award-winning papers:
John Bessant Best Paper Award
The main criteria for winning the John Bessant Best Paper Award are:
- Theoretical relevance - is the research problem real and "hot" from a theoretical perspective?
- Research design - scientific rigor in terms of hypotheses/questions, operationalization, sampling, data sources, analysis, validity/reliability
- Discussion and contribution to theory - does the paper solve the theoretical problem researched in the paper?
Mariano Corso Best Practical Implications Award
In order to be considered for the Mariano Corso Best Practical Implications Award, the paper must meet the following criteria:
- Practical relevance - is the research problem real and "hot" from a practical perspective?
- Research design - scientific rigor in terms of hypotheses/questions, operationalization, sampling, data sources, analysis, validity/reliability
- Discussion and contribution to practice - potential contribution to solving a practical problem, and to practitioner understanding - is the paper clear for practitioners and does it provide models and criteria that help them in understanding the phenomenon, go to the root causes of potential problems arising, and identify possible approaches to solve them?
