CRITERIA FOR SELECTION
The criteria for evaluation includes publication record and other scholarly contributions to qualitative research in sport and exercise (e.g., scholarly journal articles, scholar book chapters, books, research reports, etc. that demonstrate an impact on the qualitative research knowledge base; scholarly presentations, invited talks, and/or keynote addresses; public engagement/public community translation; journal reviewing; graduate supervision and mentoring; and other awards the nominee may have received).
Productivity does not necessarily lead to a distinguished record. It should be clear that your work has impacted on and advanced qualitative research, and that the record of scholarship has been subjected to critical review of established scholars in the individual’s area of scholarship. In all cases, the collected works of the individual should demonstrate excellence in scholarship as it relates to qualitative research in sport and/or exercise.
