After the “Förderpreis 2014 der Grazer Wechselseitigen Versicherung” he has received the GOR Thesis Award during the "General Online Research" Conference (GOR 16) in Dresden, as one of three prizes for special achievements in the field of online research.
In the category “Best Dissertation” the jury selected Peter Krakers dissertation entitled “Visualizing Research Fields Based on Scholarly Communication on the Web” as the winning thesis.
