["Chernetsky, Vitaly A. Dr." <chernev@muohio.edu>]

Dear Colleagues,

The AAUS Article Prize committee has asked me to post the following clarification:

As the prizes are meant to be awarded annually, and the prize announcement was originally intended for the meeting in November 2009, the current round of requests for submissions for consideration (for the prize to be announced at the AAUS meeting at the ASN convention in April) pertains to articles published in 2008. The articles published in 2009 will be considered for the next round of prizes. Those articles published in 2009 that have already been submitted for consideration will be forwarded by the current committee to the next committee that will be constituted as a result of elections conducted at the AAUS meeting in April.

My sincere apologies for the unintended confusion as a result of my previous announcement.

Sincerely,

Vitaly Chernetsky
AAUS president

Dear Colleagues,

The latest AAUS Book Prize was awarded last fall at the AAASS convention in Boston. However, the award of the prizes for best article and best book-length translation has been postponed until the AAUS meeting at the ASN convention this April. Nominations, including self-nominations, are eagerly sought, and the deadline (February 15) is approaching fast. If you would like to make a nomination, please contacts the current chairs of the respective prize committees as soon as possible.

(Please see the webpage

The current head of the Article Prize committee is Alex Motyl, the current head of the Translation Prize committee is Michael Naydan. Publications from 2008 and 2009 are eligible for the current round of nominations.

Sincerely,

Vitaly Chernetsky
AAUS President
