2023 JCP BEST PAPER BY EARLY CAREER CONTRIBUTOR

This award is given to the best refereed paper by an “early career contributor” published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology. An early career contributor is defined as a scholar whose work is published within two years of receiving his or her Ph.D. (or a scholar who had not yet received their PhD when the paper was published). The paper does not have to be the scholar’s dissertation, just one that the scholar has first-authored (or shared first authorship). All eligible papers were reviewed by a committee, who chose the winners for the award.
