EUGENE GARFIELD

DOCTORAL DISSERTATION SCHOLARSHIP

2015

CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

1. NATURE OF THE AWARD

The scholarship will consist of an award of $3,000 (donated by the Eugene Garfield Foundation) to cover any research related expenses (including traveling) of the grant recipient, contingent upon the recipient's attending ISSI 2015, the next ISSI biennial conference. This conference will be held in Istanbul, Turkey, from June 29 till July 4, 2015. For more information I refer to the conference’s website: http://issi2015.org/en

2. PURPOSE OF THE AWARD

The purpose of this scholarship is to foster research in informetrics, including bibliometrics, scientometrics, webmetrics and altmetrics by encouraging and assisting doctoral students in the field with their dissertation research.

3. ELIGIBILITY

The scholarship recipient must meet the following qualifications:

(a) Be an active doctoral candidate pursuing research using informetric, bibliometric, scientometric,  webmetric or altmetric methodology in a degree-granting institution;

(b) Have a doctoral dissertation proposal accepted by the institution or by their dissertation advisor.

Clarification: an active doctoral student is someone who has not yet obtained the doctoral degree at the moment he/she receives the award. Moreover, the applicant need not be a member of ISSI to be considered for this scholarship.

4. ADMINISTRATION

The award is sponsored by the Eugene Garfield Foundation with the cooperation of the Chemical Heritage Foundation, and is administered by the Board of the International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics (ISSI).

Submission should include the following:

(a) The doctoral research proposal, including a description of the research, methodology, and significance, 10 pages or less in length, double-spaced, and in English;

(b) A copy of the paper submitted for presentation at the ISSI Conference;

(c) A cover letter from the dissertation advisor endorsing the proposal and confirming that the contents of this proposal are accepted by the institute, or at least by the advisor;

(d) An up-to-date curriculum vitae.

6. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS AND DEADLINE

Deadline for submission is January 31, 2015. All proposals should be submitted by e-mail to the society’s president: Ronald Rousseau at ronald.rousseau@kuleuven.be or ronald.rousseau@uantwerpen.be. An acknowledgment of receipt will be sent to candidates.

7. CONFERENCE PRESENTATION

The recipient of the award will be given the opportunity to present his/her work either during a normal session (if his/her paper has been accepted for presentation), either as a special lecture on the same level as research in progress. This presentation will be referred to as the special Eugene Garfield Doctoral Dissertation Scholarship Lecture.

Some further clarifications

a) The candidate must have the intention to attend the conference, as shown by a submitted paper.

b) The awardee is free to use the award money as he/she pleases. The award does not have to (but of course may) be used for travelling to the conference.

c) The awardee is not automatically entitled to an (extra) travel grant from the conference organizers or from ISSI. Of course he/she may apply for such a grant (if such grants are made available by the organizers) like any other conference participant.
