Overview of award
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the prestigious Outstanding Early Career Research Award, aimed at recognising and celebrating outstanding contributions in the realm of Digital Discovery. This initiative seeks to honour the dedication, innovation, and impactful research endeavours of promising early career researchers.
The editorial team of the journal look back at exceptionally high-quality and innovative Digital Discovery research published by early career researchers during the previous calendar year. A shortlist of articles is assembled based on a variety of metrics including article downloads, Altmetric score, and citations. This shortlist is reviewed by the journal's Editorial Board members based on the science presented and its potential future impact. The Board members then select the authors of the most significant contribution as the winners of the award.
