The selection committee judges the contribution and promise of young scholars based on the strength of published work, the scholar's productivity, the rigor of the research produced so far, and on the promise of existing work serving as a springboard for continuing scholarship. The association noted about the richness and quantity of the work that Boukes has already produced at his young age.
