It is my pleasure to announce the winners of the Primates 2022 Social Impact Award. These high social impact papers are selected by the editor-in-chief and two vice editors-in-chief, based on data sources such as the Altmetric score (mentions in the media and social networking sites), and the number of full-text downloads.

The Primates 2022 Social Impact Award goes to the following two papers (in alphabetical order of first author surname):

Kristana Parinters Makur, Sri Suci Utami-Atmoko, Tatang Mitra Setia, Maria A. van Noordwijk, Erin R. Vogel. Slow loris (Nycticebus borneanus) consumption by a wild Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii) (Primates 63:25–31, 2022)

Deborah M. Williams, Sandra M. Almanza, Itzel Sifuentes-Romero, Kate M. Detwiler. The history, taxonomy, and geographic origins of an introduced African monkey in the southeastern United States (Primates 62:617–627, 2021)

Both of these papers received a great deal of media attention, were frequently mentioned on social networking sites, and were downloaded numerous times. Thus, they contributed greatly to enhancing the reputation of our journal.

Please join us in congratulating the authors!

Masayuki Nakamichi, Editor-in-Chief, Primates.
