The criteria for this award are as follows- the article has to be Original Research and it has to be published during the year of consideration. The board will then vote on articles based on the articles with the most downloads/access and if there are any citations.
We would like to thank all of our amazing authors, readers and reviewers for making 2017 the best year yet for GSJ. We are excited to see where 2018 brings us!
