Each year River Publishers awards a prize to the authors of the best paper published in that year.

The winning paper is chosen by the Editors in Chief. All papers are considered, and the winning paper is selected based on several factors that may include, the significance of the scientific contribution, impact, achievement and presentation of the paper, along with metrics such as the number of citations and downloads.

The winners are then notified and receive a certificate.

Occasionally, if two papers are equally exceptional, we award a joint prize.
