The Awards Committee of the Pedometrics Commission has received nominations from an open call for the Best Paper 2019 competition.  With nominations from the panel members a total of 20 papers were considered, and each committee member selected their top 10 in rank order.  The top five papers in terms of support across the committee as a whole are to be put to an open vote, and they are listed below.

  • Please rank papers in order, with the first paper the one you regard as most deserving. You need not provide a rank for every paper nominated.
  • Votes must be received from a traceable email address, and if I cannot verify their origin they will be discarded.
  • Authors/co-authors should not vote for their own papers.
  • Please use the subject line “Best Paper in Pedometrics, 2019” in your email.
