In 2020 we started two initiatives to acknowledge and celebrate the outstanding quality of research published in the journal.
First, the Annual JGS Best Paper Award, and second, the Editors’ Choice of their favourite paper of each issue. The members of the editorial board of the journal and/or the editors may nominate candidates for the JGS Best Paper award. Following the nominations, the decision about the award rests with the editors-in-chief of the journal.
All papers awarded the Annual JGS Best Paper Award can be found in one collection over here and all Editors’ Choice papers are collected here.
