Best Oral Paper Prize
At the Australasian Association for Academic Primary Care’s (AAAPC) Annual Research Conference, Australian Journal of Primary Health presents a prize for the Best Oral Paper relevant to the interests and scope of the journal.
The prize consists of a certificate and a year’s online subscription to the journal. The winner(s) will be offered free Open Access in the journal for an accepted, peer-reviewed article arising from the Best Oral Paper. Following the conference we will promote the prize winner(s) more widely through social media channels and on this website.
Papers accepted for oral presentation, focusing on those informing critical discussion on primary and community services integrating theory and practice, and using perspectives from a range of disciplines will be eligible. Oral papers presented at the conference are assessed by the journal’s judging committee, comprising the Co-Editors-in-Chief, members of the Editorial Panel and their nominees.
The judging committee considers several criteria for the prize, including originality, rigour, relevance to primary and community health policy and practice, inclusion of relevant groups to the research, and quality of presentation.
