IET Journals Premium (Best Paper) Awards
Each year the IET awards a prize to the authors of the best paper published within the last two years in each of the IET’s journals.
A list of all winning papers can be found below, and the latest prize-winning paper for each journal can also be found on that journal’s homepage.
2019 Premium (Best Paper) Award winners
2018 Premium (Best Paper) Award winners
2017 Premium (Best Paper) Award winners
2016 Premium (Best Paper) Award winners
2015 Premium (Best Paper) Award winners
2014 Premium (Best Paper) Award winners
2013 Premium (Best Paper) Award winners
Process
Papers must have been published within the two preceding years e.g. for the 2017 Award, papers were considered that had been published between 1st January 2015 and 31st December 2016.
The Editorial Board or Editorial Team considers all eligible papers and puts forward their nominations for each journal, based on consideration of a number of factors that may include: the significance of the scientific advance, impact, achievement and presentation of the paper, along with metrics such as the number of citations and downloads.
The winning paper is chosen from these nominations by the Editors-in-Chief of each journal.
All papers are considered regardless of the author’s age or geographical location.
Self-nominations are not allowed but if a paper by the Editor-in-Chief or a member of the Editorial Board is nominated by another member of the Editorial Team, an independent committee is set up to judge that paper’s relative merits.
The final list of winning papers (one from each journal) is checked and endorsed by the IET Prizes and Awards Committee. The winners are then notified and receive a certificate.
Winning papers are not eligible to be considered for the prize the following year.
