Best Paper Award
This award is given annually for the best paper published in Landslides: Journal of International Consortium on Landslides for the year beginning with the calendar year 2004 (Vol. 1).
How to select:
- Judging for the award will be by members of the Best Paper Award Subcommittee.
- Ranking of papers by Subcommittee members will be based on the following numerical grading system:
Scientific and technical quality: 50%
Impact on the profession and society: 30%
Quality of figures and tables: 20% - Based on the above rating system, subcommittee members should rank the top five papers for the year into a five-paper “short list” with the member’s choice for the best paper being number 1, the second best paper being number 2, etc. These lists should be submitted by e-mail to the Chairman of the Subcommittee.
- The Chairman will apply numerical scores to each short list as follows: number 1 will receive 5 points; number 2 will receive 4 points, number 3 will receive 3 points, etc.
- The Chairman will total the points for all of the short lists. The paper with the highest point total will receive the Best Paper Award.
- In case of a tie, the Chairman will call for a “tiebreaker” vote.
- Note for the short lists: A Subcommittee member will not be allowed to recommend a paper for which he/she is the author or coauthor.

Distinguished Student Awards
This award is given to the distinguished student presented in the World Landslide Forums. Students are encouraged to present their landslide research in the form of a regular Forum paper in the student session. The first author must be a student and the paper must be presented orally by the student, the number of paper’s co-authors is limited to three (i.e. since the student is the first author, 4 in total). Eligible papers will be evaluated by a panel of participating professors. Distinguished student awards (2–3) will be made to the first authors of the best presented papers judged under the different research and educational conditions of developed and developing countries. The ICL President will present the distinguished student awards to the recipients in the closing plenary session of the WLFs.

Awards for ICL World Report on Landslides
The IPL World Reports on Landslides (WRL) database is created as a cooperation platform for sharing landslide case studies and the best practice in the global landslide community. ICL and IPL wish to promote and publish global landslide information using the ICL/IPL network for the ISDR-ICL Sendai Partnership 2015-2025. To advertise WRL and promote the contribution of reports two awards have been established in 2016:
- Best Report Award
- Reporter of the year
How to select:
1. Best Report Award
The quality committee is composed of 5-6 expert evaluators. The required single evaluation was based on three items:
a. Rating of LCI (Landslide Case identifier)
In the counting, its weight is 30% and a score from 1 to 7 was assigned. For the final score this value was multiplied by 10. Namely, LCI of 7 was evaluated to be 70 points.
b. Scientific and Technical Quality
In the counting, its weight is 40% and a score from 0 to 100 was assigned.
c. Impact on the profession and society
In the counting, its weight is 30% and a score from 0 to 100 was assigned.
Evaluation points of each Landslide Case identifier were calculated according to the following formula: LCI = (R x 0.3 x 10) + (S x 0.4) + (I x 0.3)
2. Reporter of the year
Each reporter (one report is submitted by one or two reporters. All reporters are counted in the same way independent of the order of reporter) is evaluated by the total ICL point for the year. It is automatically calculated from the report by summing up ICL points for all of his/her report submitted.
The first recipients of the ICL World Report on Landslides Awards in 2016 are:
- 2016 Best Report Award: 1792 Unzen Landslide and Tsunami Disaster (JPN1611131539)
