Since 2004, each year the IAEB has recognized a few papers and their authors for their outstanding research efforts. Listed below are the winners of top conference paper awards during each of the past few years. We congratulate the award winners!

8th Annual (2008) Conference OUTSTANDING RESEARCH PAPERS (The papers -- listed below in alphabetical order, first author’s last name, and NOT rank-ordered—were recognized as “outstanding” by the reviewers largely on the basis of their research inquiries and/or methodologies. Initially, 12 papers were identified for possible recognition. Since the objective was to select 5 top papers, the 12 papers were sent out again for further review. At this second   phase of reviews, 5 papers received high rankings, some with similar rankings. Because the reviewers did not have access to all the papers to weigh against each other, below we recognize these 5 papers..)
