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.
