ANed Biometry Award

 

Every two years the Netherlands Region of the International Biometric Society (ANed) rewards the most stimulating recent paper on a biometric subject, by handing out the ANed Biometry Award. The ANed Biometry Award consists of a certificate and a cash award for the first author. The author of the winning paper is expected to organize the Autumn meeting of BMS-ANed in the year that the Award is assigned.

 

The winning paper is selected by a jury that is appointed by the board of ANed. The board of ANed reserves the right to enroll a sponsor for the Award with, as compensation, publicity of the sponsor’s name.

 

A paper can be nominated if it meets the following requirements:

 

1.      it is written in the English language and published in a peer reviewed journal in the area of biometrics or in a journal publishing biometric papers.

 

2.      it is published (either in printed or electronic form) in the two calendar years preceding the year in which the ANed Biometry Award will be given.

 

3.      its first author is of Dutch nationality or is employed at a Dutch institution.

 

4.      it hasn't been nominated before.

 

5.      no other paper with the same first author is nominated.

 

6.      it is submitted to the secretary of ANed before the final date mentioned in the announcement for the ANed Biometry Award.

 

7.      it hasn't been (co-)authored by a member of the jury.

In unforeseen cases the board of ANed decides whether a paper is eligible for nomination.
