社区荣誉，如美国地球物理联合会（AGU）等专业科学协会授予的荣誉，是个人职业发展的重要因素，也有助于科学进步的历史记录。授勋的程序在社会上并不广泛。本文的目的是分享AGU空间物理和高层大气物理学（SPA）研究员委员会的几位成员最近的经验。我们概述了选择标准，评估过程，委员会遇到的困难，以及为减轻这些困难而采取的步骤。特别值得注意的是奖励制度中隐含的偏见的影响。颁奖的科学协会可以采取措施来减少这些偏见的影响，但与此同时，各个奖项委员会可以采用我们在本文中概述的一些策略。通过分享我们的经验，我们希望改善为科学家提供奖项提名，未来的委员会成员以及授予这些奖项的科学协会颁发奖项和荣誉的过程。
Community honours, such as those bestowed by professional scientific societies like the American Geophysical Union (AGU) are an important element of both individual career advancement and contributes to the historical record of scientific progress. The process by which honours are bestowed is not widely shared amongst the community. The purpose of this article is to share the recent experiences of several members of the AGU Space Physics and Aeronomy (SPA) Fellows committee. We outline the criteria for selection, the evaluation process, difficulties encountered by the committee, and steps taken to mitigate these difficulties. Of particular note is the impact of implicit bias in the award system. Steps could be taken by the awarding scientific societies to reduce the impact of these biases, but in the meantime individual award committees can employ some of the strategies we outline in this article. By sharing our experiences, we hope to improve the process of granting awards and honours for the scientists putting together award nominations, future committee members, and the scientific societies granting these awards.
