Publications Award

Description

The Publication Award recognizes outstanding contributions to T&E literature.  ITEA presents this award to honor individuals whose published books or technical papers have improved and increased the general body of knowledge relevant to better understanding and development of T&E technology. The literary works considered may be broad in scope or may address a single functional area that is included under the T&E umbrella.

Eligibility

The Publications Award may be awarded to any author or authors whose literary work is of high quality and addresses test and evaluation topics.

Teams, organizations, or institutions are not eligible. The following prerequisites also apply:

  • Published work must be original and must adhere to the accepted practices of scholarly research methods. Proper credits must be given where material is drawn from other sources; the conclusions are to be suitably justified, and statements of opinion are to be identified as such.
