John Martin Award (ASLO)

Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography

The John Martin Award recognizes a paper in aquatic sciences that is judged to have had a high impact on subsequent research in the field. Unlike the Lindeman Award, which recognizes very recent papers (within 2 years) by young investigators, the Martin Award is for papers at least 10 years old.

A nominated paper must be at least 10, but no more than 30 years old. It must be published in English and can be from any area of aquatic sciences. The spirit of the award is such that papers leading to fundamental shifts in research focus or interpretation of a large body of previous observations will be favored.

In general, summarizing reviews and methods papers will not be favored.

Package requirements:

  • An electronic copy of the paper;
  • Brief description (< 500 words) describing the impact of the paper on the field. This may include a citation analysis, but this is not required;
  • Nominations may be made by any ASLO member, with the exception of the authors, or members of ASLO Executive, Board, or Award Committees;
  • Letters of endorsement are optional.

Deadline: October 29, 2021
