Paper of the month
The monthly "Paper of the Month" award, which is part of the Faculty of Medicine's internal bonus program serves to decorate outstanding publications from the Faculty. The aim is to take into account the diversity of research achievements and in particular to recognize those publications whose extraordinary quality cannot be adequately reflected by quantitative evaluation criteria - in particular the Journal Impact Factor (JIF). (A high impact factor is of course not an exclusion criterion, but also not an award criterion).
The award is presented as part of a monthly open competition and is currently associated with prize money totaling €5,000 (a total of €1,000 personal prize money for first authors of the paper and €4,000 for respective the home institution). The decision on the publication to be awarded is made by a committee of emeriti and senior professors on the basis of qualitative evaluation criteria.
The committee currently consists of: Prof. Jürgen Floege, Prof. Bernhard Lüscher, Prof. Beate Herpertz-Dahlmann, Prof. Martin Zenke.
Contributions to the competition can be submitted via this online form. You can find the previous winners here. Please note that it can currently take 3-4 months between submission and award.
