EES Solar Outstanding Papers are selected from all articles and reviews published in the journal during the previous calendar year.
The Editorial Office compiles a shortlist of eligible papers using a range of metrics. The shortlisted articles and reviews are then evaluated and voted on by the EES Solar Editorial and Advisory Boards. The Editor in Chief, in consultation with the Editorial Office, selects the final winning papers, taking the Board members’ votes into account while retaining the final decision. The EES Solar Outstanding Papers comprise one research article and one review.
