[PhiZetaNational] Phi Zeta Research Manuscript Award competition

[Eleanor Josephson]

Dear Phi Zeta Officers,

This message is to announce that the 2021 Research Manuscript Award competition is now open and accepting submissions of eligible manuscripts from chapters through February 22th.
The deadline has been extended due to the late call for manuscripts. Eligibility is determined as follows:
Each Phi Zeta chapter may sponsor up to two manuscripts – one in the category of Clinical Sciences and one in the category of Basic Sciences. The authors need not be Phi Zeta members but must be veterinarians involved in a graduate or residency program within the past 2 years (no longer ago than January 2019 for the 2021 competition).A student in a veterinary-science department from an institution with no Phi Zeta chapter may submit a manuscript to a nearby chapter for consideration. To be considered eligible, the sponsored candidate must be the first author of the selected manuscript, and the manuscript must be accepted for publication, or published, in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. A letter verifying acceptance by the journal must be included with the submission of manuscripts not yet published.
Further selection criteria may be established by the local chapters. See the Phi Zeta website (www.societyofphizeta.org<http://www.societyofphizeta.org)/>) for more details on eligibility and the process for submitting manuscripts.

Another change this year is in the manuscript review process which will task 8 chapters per year with reviewing a subset of submitted manuscripts.  Under this process, any one chapter is only responsible for reviewing manuscripts once every 4 years.  Chapter officers will receive a subset of 6-8 of the submitted manuscripts and may delegate their review, using a supplied rubric, to 2-4 of their basic science and clinical science faculty.  Reviewers must be Phi Zeta members, either active or honorary, of their local chapter. Chapter officers and designated reviewers can assign reviews to their senior residents or graduate students, if they wish.  As is the case for faculty reviewers, the resident or graduate student reviewers must be members of their Phi Zeta chapter.  More details of the new review process will be forthcoming.

Please submit your chapter’s manuscripts along with the Manuscript Submission form (www.societyofphizeta.org<http://www.societyofphizeta.org/>under Chapters/Forms and Documents or Awards/Guidelines) by February 22nd to Missy Josephson josepem at auburn.eduwith the Subject: Manuscript Award.
