In a correspondence signed by the Chair of the Independent ad hoc Scientific Award Committee, European Journal of Scientific Research, Adrian Marcus Steinberg, PhD and addressed to Dr. Ezekiel K. Duramany-Lakkoh, it was stated that they are pleased to inform the latter that the independent ad hoc Scientific Award Committee and the Editorial Board of the European Journal of Scientific Research has decided to recognize him as a Distinguished Scholar based on his contribution to his selected field of academic research through his article titled: “Working Capital Management Systems in Manufacturing Companies :A Case Study of Sierra Leone Brewery Limited”, which was published in the Volume 11 Issue 2 of the Business and Economics Journal.
According to Dr. Adrian Marcus Steinberg, the award was presented to all author(s) of his article saying they would appreciate it if he could kindly share that information with them as the corresponding author.
The Chair of the Independent ad hoc Scientific Award Committee furthered that as Dr. Ezekiel K. Duramany-Lakkoh may know that it is a prestigious academic recognition that they have been presenting to a very limited number of scientists from around the world since 2004 regardless of which scientific journal they have chosen as an outlet for their research.
He revealed that selection of candidates is based on their outstanding scholarly contribution to the scientific knowledge in their fields of scientific research with respect to a set of criteria, including: Overall importance of the research question or problem and level of innovation in the topic, the effectiveness and novelty of the methodology and data employed.
He also mentioned the academic significance and usefulness of conclusions resulting from the research, adequacy of the critical review of relevant literature and broad application of the findings.
The Award comprises a plaque and the recipients are normally honoured at a reception during one of the academic conferences that the Committee organizes with their partner organizations and academic institutions.
Regrettably, this year they were unable to organize a conference and so therefore have decided to ship the Awards to the recipients due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
