Outstanding paper awards categories

Three types of paper awards are used. These are loosely aligned with the types of papers the IFIP EGOV2010 conference was looking for:

• Category 1 - The most interdisciplinary and/or innovative research contribution. Awards the interdisciplinary paper and/or the most out-of-the-box and forward-looking idea and concept.
• Category 2 - The most compelling, critical research reflection . Awards the paper with the most compelling critical reflection on and discussion of e-government research.
• Category 3 - The most promising practical concept. Awards the paper delivering a concept or solution with the highest potential to have a high impact in e-government implementations and applications.

Selection process

Step 1: Papers in completed research with scores of 2 or higher (max. 3) and papers in ongoing research with scores of 1,7 or higher (max. 3) in the overall review were selected in a first round of selection.

Step 2: The outstanding paper awards committee then reviewed the camera-ready papers along a list of 5 to 8 criteria per awards category.

Step 3: The paper awards committee proposed a short list per category (two to four nominations per category).

Step 4: The awards committee decided at the conference, which paper per category was awarded.
