Lothar Kämpfe Publikation Award
The "Lothar Kämpfe Publikation Award" was founded in 2008 in honour for the life-time achievement of our Emeritus Prof. Dr. Lothar Kämpfe and is awarded to young researcher of our institute in an annual basis.
The award will be given to the leading author for the best publication of the previous year (date of the printed version or online version with DOI).
Applicants must be the leading author and a member of the institute in the year the study was published. Nominated publications must be related to a B.Sc., M.Sc. and/or Ph.D. project. Papers as part of a Ph.D. thesis will be only considered in the first year after obtaining the PhD degree. Every member of the institute can nominate a publication by sending a pdf-file to the managerial director until 31st march of each year following the respective year of publication.
Each group of the institute judges the application based on the following criteria:
- originality (hypotheses, theories, models, etc),
- relevance for the respective field of research,
- quality (methods, analyses, implications),
- presentation of the data and
- reputation of the journal in the respective field of research.
