The Decision Analysis Society Publication Award is given annually to the best decision analysis journal article or book published in the second preceding calendar year, as judged by an award committee. For consideration for this year's award, a work should have been published during calendar year 2013.
The intent of the award is to recognize the best publication in decision analysis, broadly defined. This includes, but is not limited to, theoretical work on decision analysis methodology (including behavioral decision making and non-expected utility theory), descriptions of applications, and experimental studies. Nominated publications will be judged for significance, relevance, originality, and readability.
Please send the author's name(s) and the full journal citation or book title. Nominators should ensure that the Publication Award Committee has a copy of the publication, preferably in electronic form. Self nominations are encouraged. Historically, most nominations for this award have been self nominations, so don't rely on your admiring colleagues to nominate your work. However, if you read a paper published in 2013 that you really enjoyed or found particularly useful in your decision analysis practice or research, please let us know. Testimonials by those who have benefited from a work will be very helpful to the committee's decision process.
This award is sponsored by the Decision Analysis Society of INFORMS, but membership in the Decision Analysis Society is not required, so please feel free to forward this announcement to your colleagues. The award, accompanied by a plaque and a $750 honorarium, will be presented at the INFORMS Annual Meeting in Philadelphia.
This year's DAS Publication Award Committee is made up of Manel Baucells, Gordon Hazen, Karen Jenni, and Kevin McCardle (chair). Nominations are due by Friday, June 5th, 2015.
Names of past winners of the Decision Analysis Society Publication Award are posted on the DAS Awards web page.
Nominations are invited at this time. Please send nominations toKevin.mccardle@anderson.ucla.edu.
