KEY INFORMATION
• The recipient will receive an award plaque from ONE, a check for $500 from the ONE division and award sponsor, recognition at the annual AoM ONE Business Meeting (where the recipient of the award will be announced), as well as a listing with past Book Award winners on the ONE website.
• At least one author (or editor for collected works) needs to be ONE member.
• Edited books (books divided into chapters, each written by a different author or group of authors) are eligible for the ONE Book Award so long as they have a research focus in the ONE field and have a value-added overview chapter by the editors.
