DescriptionThe Board of Directors of The Canadian Acoustical Association presents two awards annually to the authors of the best papers published in Canadian Acoustics, the journal of the Association. All refereed research, tutorial and review papers are eligible. Technical notes and case studies are not eligible.
Each award is made to the first author of the winning paper, who must be a member of the Association. ProcedureAll papers published in Canadian Acoustics in a given calendar year are automatically considered for the awards, which are presented at the Annual Meeting of the Association in the following year. Early in the year, the coordinator of the awards determines eligibility of all papers published in the previous year and verifies membership of the first authors. A ballot form is then distributed to the members of the Board of Directors, who must evaluate the papers according to the following criteria:
Each Director rates the papers on a scale from 3 (very deserving) to 0 (not deserving an award) and votes for the best paper in each category. If there is only one candidate in a category, the suitability of offering the award is considered. The coordinator compiles the results, identifies the award winners and notifies the Directors at the Board's spring meeting.
