JCP Best Paper Awards
JCP Best Paper
This award is given to the best refereed paper published three years prior in the Journal of Consumer Psychology; so, this year for papers published in 2020. Papers are first nominated via vote by the JCP Editorial Review Board. The papers that received the most nominations were then reviewed by a committee (Kristin Diehl, University of Southern California, chair, Maura Scott, Florida State University, and Joe Goodman, Ohio State University) who chose an honorable mention and a winner for the award. The authors of the winning paper share a $5000 cash award.
Winner

JCP Best Paper by an Early Contributor
This award is given to the best refereed paper by an “early career contributor” published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology in 2021. An early career contributor is defined as a scholar whose work is published within two years of receiving his or her Ph.D. (or a scholar who had not yet received their PhD when the paper was published). The paper does not have to be the scholar’s dissertation, just one that the scholar has first-authored (or shared first authorship). All eligible papers were reviewed by a committee (Kristin Diehl, University of Southern California, chair, Maura Scott, Florida State University, and Joe Goodman, Ohio State University) who chose two honorable mentions and a winner for the award. The winner receives a $2500 cash award.
