Last month, EndNote ran a contest on Facebook requesting students to submit their research idea for a chance to win $10,000. The public has chosen the six finalists through a voting phase and now we are looking for judges (professors/researchers in these fields) to review the submissions and decide who should win the $10,000.
The fields submitted are:
- Inclusive education for students with significant disabilities
- Psychology- gender differences
- Evolutionary Biology and Ornithology
- Ecology & Evolutionary Biology
- Environmental sciences
- Horticulture: Plant Breeding & Plant Genetics
The submissions are short (2,000 words or less) and they follow a template, so they are easy to review.
You would need to review the submissions and vote on your favorite one based on the following criteria:
Below is the criteria you will use:
- Research Topic Significance to applicant’s field of study 25 %
- Research Design and Methodology: 25 %
- Feasibility of conducting research within allotted budget 25 %
- Originality of proposal 25%
In return for your time, we will provide you with a Not for Resale copy of EndNote X7 (releasing May 20) or a $100 Visa Gift Card. We will need your final vote by May 24, 2013. The winner will be announced via our Facebook page on May 31, 2013.
