[Sigmet-officers] Student Paper winner and follow-up

[Powell, Kimberly Robin]

Hello All,
I'm sorry for the late Friday email, but I believe we have a winner of the Student Paper Contest!
Fereshteh Didegah<https://sites.google.com/site/fereshtehdidegah>. Modelling Article Citation Impact Factors Using an Integrated Statistical Method<https://www.easychair.org/conferences/submission_download.cgi?a=4026514;submission=1524127> from the University of Wolverhampton, UK.

We have two additional papers of high merit,

Second Runner up: Ehsan Mohammadi & Mike Thelwall. Mendeley readership altmetrics for the social sciences and humanities: Research evaluation and knowledge flows also from the University of Wolberhampton, UK


Third Runner up: Qi Wang & Ulf Sandstrom. Cognitive Distance and Peer Review: a study of a grant scheme in Infection Biology from KTH-Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden.


Our Prize write up says the following: The winner will be awarded a one-year individual membership to ASIS&T and a cash prize, sponsored by Elsevier. If of sufficient merit, two winners may be announced: one for the best first-authored paper and one for the best sole-authored paper.  Monetary prizes and membership may be available for more than one paper, depending on merit. Authors of highly rated papers will be invited to submit a short biographical piece to be featured on the SIG/MET website. In addition, these authors may be invited to present their research under their own expense at the SIG/MET pre-conference workshop at the 2013 Annual ASIS&T Meeting.

I know there was some concern that the Second Runner Up presented at ISSI, and may already be accepted to JASIST (not yet published).  Given that there might be money for two papers and/or an award for best solo and best first-authored... how do people think we should proceed?
Obviously, we'd like to let authors know as soon as possible to allow for any necessary VISA and other planning requirements.

Thank you and a special thanks to Judit, Laura, Dietmar, Stasa, Isabella, Andrea and Sean who graciously served as our reviewers!
~Kim
