Author Awards
To recognize and celebrate excellence in academic research, Research on Engineering Structures and Materials offers two prestigious awards for authors whose papers demonstrate outstanding impact and quality:
1. Excellence in Research Award
Each year, the Advisory Board selects papers that demonstrate Excellence in Research based on criteria such as scientific quality, originality, relevance, and potential impact on both academia and practice.
2. Most Cited Paper Award
Two years after publication, the paper with the highest number of citations, as measured in academic indexing platforms, is honored with the Most Cited Paper Award. This award highlights the paper’s influence within the scholarly community and its contribution to advancing knowledge in its field.
Recognition and Rewards
Award winners receive an official certificate acknowledging their achievement. Additionally, their contributions are highlighted on the journal’s website for a minimum of five years, providing increased visibility and recognition within the academic community.
These awards reflect our commitment to promoting excellence in research and encouraging impactful studies that contribute to solving societal challenges. We take pride in honoring authors whose work inspires progress across disciplines.
