Note/s

1. A scholarly work is considered peer-reviewed when it undergoes a process of evaluation and critique by a panel of experts/scholars in the field prior to its acceptance for publication.
2. Poetry by a single author published in a journal (ISI or non-ISI) or as a part of an anthology is counted as one work regardless of the number of poems included in the issue. However, separate awards are given if the author publishes different literary genres (e.g. a poem and a short story) in the same anthology.
3. The scholarly work should be published in a journal indexed in WoS/ISI or Scopus at the time of its publication to be eligible for the award.
4. Textbooks are eligible, if the book or chapter is clearly a product of the author's own research and scholarship, and makes a novel contribution to the discipline in terms of content and/or methodology.
5. A publication is considered international if it meets the following criteria: a. the editorial board is composed of an international team; b. the articles undergo an international peer-review process; and c. the articles and target circulation of the journal are also international. Otherwise, the publication is considered as local or national (including publications in another country that do not meet the international criteria).
