Article of the Year Award

A thank you to our authors for their exceptional contribution to scientific research.


There’s no two ways about it: researchers are the beating heart of Hindawi. It’s because of the outstanding scholarly contributions of our authors, alongside the continued support of our expert editors and reviewers, that Hindawi journals are so well placed to serve their respective communities.  

That’s why we are delighted to introduce our inaugural Article of the Year Award

What is the Article of the Year Award?

The Article of the Year Award recognizes and celebrates outstanding articles published the previous year in Hindawi journals. 

Chief Editors were invited to select one original research or review article published in their journal in 2020 which they consider to be exciting and impactful, as well as representative of the research community and its current or future directions.  

As a thank you for their exemplary contribution to scientific research, the authors of each Article of the Year have been awarded an article processing charge (APC) waiver on their next manuscript accepted for publication in the respective journal.
