Cheiron Young Scholar Award
Since 2008, Cheiron has awarded a prize for the best paper or symposium presentation by a young scholar at its yearly conference. To be eligible for consideration, the young scholar must be the sole or first author of the paper and must be responsible for the
bulk of the work of the paper.
“Young scholars” are defined as those currently working toward their degree as well as those who have completed their master’s or doctoral work not more than 5 years prior to this year’s meeting.
Applicants should submit a “slightly edited”’ version of the paper presented at this summer’s conference in at The Cummings Center for the History of Psychology. This may include small changes or additions, but the finished polished paper should not exceed
5000 words (including footnotes). Applicants should use the style required by the
Journal of the History of the Behavioral and Social Sciences (JHBS).
Submissions should be sent to Larry Stern (
lst...@collin.edu), Cheiron’s Executive Officer. Entries will be judged by members of this year’s Program Committee and Cheiron’s Review Committee. The winner will receive a certificate from Cheiron and will be encouraged
to submit his or her paper to the
Journal of the History of Behavioral Sciences within a reasonable period of time. The Award winner may ask reviewers for assistance in preparing the paper for submission to
JHBS. If the paper is accepted by
JHBS for publication, the winner will receive a $500 honorarium from the publisher, Wiley Blackwell, in recognition of the Cheiron Young Scholar Award.
We encourage all those who qualify as “Young Scholars” to submit their work. However, please note that the award committee may decide that submissions do not meet the standards required for receipt of the award and elect not to name a winner in any given year
The deadline for submissions is September 15, 2024 and should be sent to Larry Stern, Executive Officer, at
lst...@collin.edu.
