SJDM BEST PAPER AWARD 2025
The purpose of this award is to encourage outstanding research in the area of judgment and decision making. Past winners are listed on the history page.
Papers are eligible if they were published in print during the 2022 calendar year, or if they were published online during the 2022 calendar year in the case of an online-only publication.
The winning paper will represent a novel and/or otherwise important contribution to the JDM literature that has promise for long-term influence in the field. All methodologies and research approaches will be considered as long as the topic of the paper is central to the study of judgment and decision making. Submissions will first be evaluated by a broad set of reviewers intended to be representative of the SJDM membership with the final decision made by a committee appointed by the Society.
To nominate a paper for the award, please submit:
(1) the paper's citation,
(2) a link to the paper, and
(3) a short (<500 word) paragraph that makes a compelling case for why the paper should be considered.
Nominations can be submitted at the form linked below, with the following guidelines:
a. Each person may nominate up to three papers for the award each year. Self-nominations are encouraged, but we'd ask people to only submit one self-nomination per year.
b. You must be an SJDM member to nominate a paper.
c. Papers that are submitted for the Einhorn Award cannot simultaneously be considered for the Best Paper Award. We ask you not to nominate a paper that you know has been submitted for the Einhorn Award this year. However, if you are not sure whether a paper has been submitted for the Einhorn Award this year, you can nominate it for the Best Paper Award, and the committee will remove from consideration any papers that were also submitted for the Einhorn.
d. To be considered, submissions must be received no later than June 16 (11:59 PM, Pacific Time).
The committee aims to inform the authors of the winning paper by October 31. The award will be announced at the annual meeting of the Society for Judgment and Decision Making, and also announced online.
