2016 Eberhard F. Mammen Award Announcements: Part I — Most Popular Articles

Welcome to the latest of our Eberhard F. Mammen award announcements. As noted previously,[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Thieme, the publisher of Seminars in Thrombosis & Hemostasis , has created the Eberhard F. Mammen Excellence in Thrombosis and Hemostasis Awards in honor of Eberhard Mammen ([ Fig. 1 ]) and in recognition of his contribution to this field and to the journal that he both founded and steered for over three decades. These awards began in 2009, under two categories, “Most Popular Article Awards” and “Young Investigator Awards.” Current details and conditions of the award can be summarized as: Most Popular Article Awards : The awards are given to the authors of the most popular articles published in Seminars in Thrombosis & Hemostasis . The awards are determined by the Editor in Chief on the basis of user statistics from Thieme e-Journals from the preceding 2 years. Prefaces, Errata, Letters to the Editor, Editorials, and previous award-winning articles are excluded from further consideration of these awards, which currently comprise two categories—one for “Open Access” articles, and another for a “General Category.” There are two major cash prizes of US$1,000 for each category. In addition, winners of the “General Category” awards are granted “open-access” status for these articles thereafter. Young Investigator Awards : These award are given for best presentation or meeting abstract by a young investigator—as presented or delivered to an international or large regional meeting on a topic related to the fields of thrombosis and hemostasis, and whose subject matter is determined to be in the spirit of Dr. Mammen. There are up to six cash prizes of US$1,000 in any year. There are some additional considerations and conditions for the award, and awardees are expected to prepare a review or other paper related to the topic of their presentation for publication in Seminars in Thrombosis & Hemostasis .
