Journal of Physics A Best Paper prize was launched in 2008 to celebrate well written papers that make an outstanding contribution to their fields. The criteria for the prize were carefully developed by the journal Editorial Board and the first prizes were awarded in 2009.
We now welcome your nominations for the 2011 Best Paper Prize. Up to three prizes worth £250 will be awarded. All original research articles published in the journal during 2009 and 2010 can be considered for a prize and the nominations are judged by our Section Editors using the criteria of novelty, achievement, potential impact and presentation.
If you wish to make a nomination for the Best Paper Prize, please send an email to the journal editorial office (jphysa@iop.org) giving the publication details of the paper and stating (in no more than 1000 words) how it meets the criteria listed above. Authors cannot nominate their own papers. The closing date for nominations is 31 March 2011.
