- Each nomination must include:
- An electronic submission in a PDF file of the manuscript, and
- A cover letter stating the mailing address, the date Ph.D. degree was awarded, and a statement to the effect that the manuscript has not been previously published and is not being considered for publication by other journals at the time of the manuscript contest.
