The award
is given in recognition of excellence in a research article published
in Isis. Eligible articles are those published in issues of Isis three years prior to the year in which the award is given (i.e., the
calendar year in which the award is given is not included). The prize may not be split between two articles.
The prize
name was changed from the Derek Price Prize to the Derek Price/Rod Webster
Prize in 2002 due to a generous gift from Marjorie (Madge) Webster.
It was she and her husband, the late Roderick Webster, who helped endow
the old Zeitlin-Verbrugge Prize, which was then renamed the Derek Price
Award.
Prize Committee Members:
Diane Paul, 2004-2007 (Chair)
Stuart W. "Bill" Leslie, 2006-2008
Sachiko Kusukawa, 2006-2009
Maria D. Lane, "Geographers of Mars: Cartographic Inscription and Exploration Narrative in Late Victorian Representatives of the Red Planet" Isis, December 2005, Volume 96, Number 4, won the 2006 prize.
All eligible
articles are automatically nominated for this prize.
