Note on Publication Dates and Prize Submissions Eligibility:
The publication date for a book is the copyright year listed on the book’s copyright page. The publication date for a journal article is the volume year of the journal. In the event that the publication of a journal issue is delayed past April 1 of the year following its volume year, an article will be considered two years after its volume year.
