In April 2013, my proposal for the Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge Ideation Challenge won an award. This contest was developed to recognize excellence in research and encourage professional development. Awards were granted for innovative concept papers describing new ways users can interact with the content and tools in Web of Knowledge.

Additional details about the challenge, the award announcement, the winning proposals and Q&A with the winners are available here.

Update!

Thomson Reuters and InnoCentive have been kind enough to provide loads of great PR for the contest winners. Here are a few examples from their websites, Facebook and Twitter.
