During the IAHS Bureau held in Delft on October 23, 2012 it was approved to establish a new IAHS Award promoted and managed by the International Commission on Statistical Hydrology (ICSH-IAHS).
The name of the award is STAHY Best Paper Award of ICSH-IAHS
The award consists of the IAHS Award Certificate and financial support (registration fee and accommodation) for one of the authors who will be invited to give a lecture during the ICSH annual workshop of the year in which the award is made.
The first award was assigned during the STAHY'13 Conference - Kos, Greece, 17-19 October 2013.
PROCEDURE
- In the first or second call of papers of ICSH topical conference, the award selection will be announced and deadlines for the papers evaluation will be fixed. Before the deadline, each of the ICSH Officers will propose five papers for the Award, published during the evaluation period. The evaluation period will be 3 years starting from 5 years before the ICSH topical conference year (for the conference that will be on 2019 the evaluation period will 2015-2017).
- All collected papers will be ordered by citations present in Scopus database (excluding self citations of all authors) at the deadline.
- The first 20 papers will be evaluated by the ICSH officers.
