The winner will be announced within the last week of April, 2024.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Nomination and selection procedures</strong></p> <p>The eligible papers could be either from (<em>i</em>) volume 19, issue (1), year 2020; (<em>ii</em>) volume 19, issue (2), year 2020; or (<em>iii</em>) volume 19, issue (3), year 2020. Understanding that age/time of publication should be considered for normalization due to older papers usually tend to accrue more citations (Dunaiski et al., 2019), a normalization score has been calculated depending on the time that the issue (i.e., 1, 2, 3) for volume 19, was released in 2022.&nbsp;</p> <p>The preselected papers are:</p> <ul> <li class="show">Aksoylu, C., Mobark, A., Hakan Arslan, M., &amp; Hakkı Erkan, İ.
