2014 Awards & Recipients
Best Peer Review: Jennifer McNeely, MD, MS
Our electronic platform allows us to rate peer reviewers on a scale from 1 to 3 for both timeliness and relevance of the review. We seek to recognize reviews that were thorough, that considered the article within the context of current addiction literature, and provided specific recommendations for improvement or clarification to authors. Reviews receiving a perfect score (i.e., 3) are considered for this award. The quality of the article reviewed does not directly affect this score.
Best Manuscript: Conrad L. Woolsey, PhD, CHES, CC-AASP for “Frequency of Energy Drink Use Predicts Illicit Prescription Stimulant Use”
The “best” manuscripts are those that clearly articulate research or policies designed to advance the identification and treatment of substance use disorders and/or the training of addiction care providers. The number of views and citations a manuscript has received also factor into the nomination process.
Most Downloaded Manuscript: Lauren Matukaitis Broyles, PhD, RN for “Confronting Inadvertent Stigma and Pejorative Language in Addiction Scholarship: A Recognition and Response”
This award is given to the article with the most full-text downloads within the previous two years (i.e., Vol. 33(4) – Vol. 35(3)) according to data from our publisher. Articles winning awards in previous years are not eligible.
