The Canadian Journal of Chemistry (CJC) and its publisher, Canadian Science Publishing (CSP), are pleased to announce the new CJC Best Paper Award.

This new award will annually recognize the “best paper” published in the CJC in the preceding year, by a scientist residing in Canada.

The winner will present an award lecture at the Canadian Society for Chemistry (CSC)’s annual Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition, with the first award to be presented in 2015. The winner will also give a sponsored lecture at one or two Canadian universities. In addition, the award-winning paper will be made open access and fully available to the public.

“We feel this award is a great opportunity to recognize outstanding work published in our journal, while helping to support our research community and further disseminate research in chemistry in Canada. This award has been in development for a while, in conjunction with CSP and the CSC. We are very pleased to see it come to fruition,” said Dr. Yining Huang, Senior Editor of the CJC.

Nominations will be made by the journal’s Editorial Board from the papers published in the previous year (between January and December). Canadian corresponding authors who are interested in applying for the award should submit their work to the CJC at http://mc06.manuscriptcentral.com/cjc-pubs and indicate at time of submission that they would like the manuscript to be considered for the award nomination. The authors should also indicate their intention in the cover letter.

Authors do not need to be a member of the Chemical Institute of Canada to apply, but must hold a professional appointment as an independent researcher in academia, government, or industry in Canada at the time of nomination.
