SPARC Europe, an alliance of European research libraries, library organisations and research institutions, will be accepting nominations for the sixth SPARC Europe Award for Outstanding Achievements in Scholarly Communications and Open Access.
Nominations are open to individuals or teams, preferably within Europe, who have made significant contributions and discoveries in the field of scholarly communications but in particular to researchers that help illuminate the scholarly communications landscape; advocates that promote the development of new models of scholarly communications; developers of new tools that aid an open scholarly communication system; and new and interesting initiatives, projects or products that guide and encourage the use of new scholarly communication models.
An international panel composed of members of the SPARC Europe Board of Directors will consider the nominations. Self-nominations will not be accepted. Preference will be given to activity within the past two years. Nominations should be submitted to Carmen Morlon not later than May 15, 2011.
