The Jules M. Rothstein Golden Pen Award for Scientific Writing recognizes published authors in PTJ: Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Journal whose writing excellence is demonstrated in a unique contribution or a series of profound articles that have broadened perspectives within a content area. Qualifying authors must demonstrate committed leadership in encouraging collaboration and contributions to improve PTJ. Applicants must be a physical therapist who has made a significant contribution to health care by writing in the areas of theory, practice, basic or clinical research, education or administration. Applicants must have demonstrated superior writing skill in one or more articles published in PTJ. The writing excellence may be reflected in one particularly unique, classical contribution or in a series of articles designed to develop further knowledge within a content area or conceptualization. Applicants must have published in at least two different health care professional journals or contributed to at least two books, monographs, or proceedings from scientific meetings. A letter of nomination that specifically focuses on the strengths of the nominee in relation to the award criteria is required. One electronic copy of an article written by the nominee that has been published in PTJ and that best reflects the criteria for the award must be submitted.
