The Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP) has called for applications for the 2012 Awards for publishing innovation and best new journal.
The ALPSP award for publishing innovation recognises a significantly innovative approach to any aspect of publication. Applications will be judged on their originality and innovative qualities, together with their utility, benefit to their community and long term prospects. Applications should, therefore, provide information about these aspects together with any other information which one believes makes the project or publication truly innovative.
The ALPSP award for best new journal is open to any peer-reviewed journal launched in the last 1-3 years. The judges will consider four main aspects of the journal and its launch - market research, editorial strategy, marketing and commercial success.
The closing date for receipt of applications is May 30, 2012. The winners will be announced at the Awards Dinner on September 12 at the ALPSP International Conference.
