Guidelines for Preparing Assessor Reports for Australian Museum Eureka Prizes

The Australian Museum provides recommendations for preparing assessor reports for the Eureka Prizes, which are national science awards. The guidelines emphasize selecting a diverse group of assessors who are not directly involved in the submitted work, ensuring they provide unbiased evaluations with clear evidence. Assessors should be briefed thoroughly on the prize criteria and submission timelines. For specific categories like the Excellence in Research Software prize, testimonials from direct beneficiaries are required. These reports constitute about half of the entry materials and can significantly influence the judging process.
