Announcement of the W.I. Myers Prize in Agricultural Finance

To encourage the publication of peer-reviewed research, Myers Endowment funds will be used to support two awards starting with the Spring 2006 issue of Agricultural Finance Review. The prizes will include a monetary award as well as a certificate. Selected by the editors and on nomination by subscribers to AFR, the two awards will be for:

    *  Overall Best Journal Article, and
    *  Best Journal Article Authored by a Student.

All articles are eligible for an award, including invited papers and papers submitted for special issues. There are no specific criteria for determining what constitutes a "best" journal article except that it will be known to be best once read. The student award must have the student as senior author, must have been written principally by the student, and must contain thesis, dissertation, or any other research originated by the student either independently or under the advisement of a faculty. The two awards are mutually exclusive, meaning that if the student award is also the best journal article, only the best journal article award will be given. The winner of the award will be announced annually in the Spring issue of Agricultural Finance Review.
