To be eligible for the 2019 Award, the date of publication imprint of the nominee’s book must be 2011 or later. Publications by academic and non-academic presses are eligible. A thesis published online by the PhD granting university’s library is not considered to be a publication for the purposes of this award. For the 2019 Award,  the nominee’s book must have been published in English.

A Jury established by IPPA and composed by Jale Tosun (University of Heidelberg), Jenifer Curtin (University of Auckland) and Iris Geva-May (Baruch College) will determine the Early Researcher Award winner. It will make its decision on the basis of nominations submitted.
