Rufus A. Lyman Award

The Rufus A. Lyman Award is presented annually to the author(s) of the best paper published in the American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education.

Selection Criteria

Papers considered for the Lyman Award include manuscripts representing original research and/or other scholarly work that have been published in regular issues 1 to 10 of the preceding year/volume of the American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education. Addresses of Association officers, editorials, reports or papers commissioned by AACP are not considered. Papers that have been previously published or published in substantially the same form before are not eligible for the award. Papers in AJPE's publication ahead-of-print (PAP) section are not eligible.

Manuscripts will be judged by the following criteria:
a. Utility and significance to pharmacy education
b. Originality
c. Research methodology
d. Writing style

Method of Selection

Nominations for the Lyman Award may come from two sources: the chair of each section, who may nominate no more than five manuscripts following consultation with the administrative board of that section; and members of the Lyman Award Committee.

The Lyman Award Committee is composed of the editor of AJPE, the recipient of the award from the previous year, and five members appointed by the president. The editor will serve as chair of the committee. An alternate will also be appointed each year in the event a member’s paper is under consideration.

At the conclusion of the evaluation process, the Lyman Award Committee will recommend the paper that has garnered the most number of votes to the AACP Board of Directors for the award. The committee may recommend that the award not be presented in any given year.

Award

The award shall consist of a monetary prize of $5,000 and an appropriately inscribed plaque. If the paper selected is authored by more than one person, the $5,000 shall be divided equally and each author shall receive a plaque. Recipients are honored during the AACP Annual Meeting.

2021 Rufus A. Lyman Award Committee

The charge of the Rufus A. Lyman Award Committee is to select and recommend one paper published in AJPE in 2020 to the Board of Directors to be recognized as the recipient of the 2021 Rufus A. Lyman Award, and review the current selection criteria and suggest necessary changes for consideration by the Board of Directors.
