ComplianceNet is pleased to announce our awards designed to promote and highlight scholarly efforts in our discipline. We are seeking nominations for two awards—one for an outstanding publication by a junior (fewer than 7 years of experience) scholar(s) and one for an outstanding publication by a more senior scholar (or group of scholars). Please note that winners must attend the ComplianceNet annual meeting, where the awards will be presented. See descriptions and submission information below.

 

The ComplianceNet publication awards recognize outstanding scholarly work of junior faculty, graduate students, post-docs, post-tenure faculty, and/or practitioners who are conducting research in the broadly defined area of compliance research. Such scholarship can be in the form of an article, book, or book chapter. ComplianceNet takes a broad approach to compliance, seeing it as the interactions between rules and behavior. We accept papers from a diverse set of perspectives, using various methodological and theoretical approaches, and covering a wide variety of topics—from electronic monitoring of offenders, individual differences in deterrence susceptibility, corporate compliance, procedural justice and compliance, etc.

 

Scholars working by themselves or as part of a team of co-authors are eligible for the competition. Paper submissions may be conceptual, theoretical and/or empirical (quantitative or qualitative) and must be a completed project—i.e., not a funding proposal or thesis proposal—directly related to compliance. Articles, books, or chapters published within three years of the award date are eligible for consideration.  The committee may elect not to give this award in any given year.

 

We are offering awards in two different categories, described below:

 

1) Outstanding Junior Scholar Publication Award

The award recognizes scholarly work of junior faculty, post-docs, graduate students, and/or practitioners with fewer than 7 years of experience post-Ph.D., J.D., or other doctoral degree completion. Papers must be primarily the work of one or more junior scholars. Co-authored papers with post-tenure scholars will be accepted, but a junior scholar should be the primary author and submission letters should describe the relevant contributions of each co-author.

 

If there are quantitative and qualitative contributions of equal merit, it is possible (but unlikely) that two Outstanding Junior Scholar Publication Awards will be given out in one year.

 

2) Outstanding Publication Award

The award recognizes scholarly work of post-tenure faculty and/or practitioners with more than 7 years of experience post-Ph.D., J.D., or other doctoral degree completion. Scholars working by themselves or as part of a team of co-authors are eligible for the competition. 

 

If there are quantitative and qualitative contributions of equal merit, it is possible (but unlikely) that two Outstanding Publication Awards will be given out in one year.

 

Deadline for receipt of materials is April 7th, 2023.

  

Submission Procedures

Please send a copy of the paper(s), chapter, or book to be considered (electronic versions required) to the Chair of the Awards Committee (contact information is provided below) by April 7th, 2023.
