Best Paper Awards for 2019/2020
Journal of Professions and Organization
As part of its ongoing effort to promote top quality research on organizational issues concerning professionals, the Journal of Professions and Organization will once again select an outstanding paper, along with two runners up. The Best Paper Awards, along with a $500 prize for the winner and $250 for each for the runners up, are sponsored by the Professional Service Firms hub at Oxford Saïd.
JPO's editors and editorial board members will select the best papers from those submitted during our seventh year of accepting submissions – i.e., the year to 31 March, 2020. The winners will be announced at the Professional Service Firms conference in Oxford, July 2020.
In selecting the winner, the editors will reflect on JPO's ambitions to combine perspectives of professionalism and organization, and take into consideration the technical quality of the paper, the contribution to theory, and the empirical significance of the paper's findings. They will also consider such factors as innovation, significance to the research community, impact, and the clarity of presentation.
