A new award for the best published article was established by the Asian Academy of Oral and Maxillo-Facial Radiology (AAOMFR). The name of the award is the Prize for AAOMFR Best Article:

  • This prize was proposed and developed by Min-Suk Heo, editor-in-chief of Imaging Science in Dentistry.

  • The editor-in-chief of each official journal (Imaging Science in Dentistry and Oral Radiology) selects the best articles from the AAOMFR official journals published between the previous and present Asian Congress of Oral and Maxillo-Facial Radiology (ACOMFR).

  • One of the authors of each article should attend the AAOMFR General Assembly (GA) of ACOMFR to accept the award. If none of the authors is able to attend the GA for official reasons, the editor may decide not to give the award.

  • The authors should be members of the AAOMFR and belong to Aisian Institution. If candidates are not AAOMFR members, the editor-in-chief will ask them to become so. If they become AAOMFR members, they are eligible for the award. If they do not wish to join the AAOMFR, another candidate may be selected by the editor-in-chief.

  • Plaques and certificates will be prepared according to the number of authors of the article, and the prize money is US$500.

  • The sponsor of this prize is Cybermed Inc.
