​Eric Kneen Memorial Award and JASBC Review Paper Award

Overview

The Eric Kneen Memorial Award and the JASBC Review Paper Award are presented to author(s) of two outstanding papers (original research paper and review paper) in the Journal of the American Society of Brewing Chemists (JASBC). The award recipients are selected from the past year's JASBC articles. 

Papers can only be considered once. The competition year for a paper is one year from the date that it is uploaded for online access to the readership.

Award​
  • One award for best original research paper (Eric Kneen Memorial Award)
  • One award for best review paper (JASBC Review Paper Award)
  • Engraved plaque and award honorarium​ is presented to the corresponding author and printed certificates to the co-authors 
  • The award need not be awarded every year if no articles fit the selection criteria
  • In World Brewing Congress years, where there is no award ceremony, the awardee(s) will be recognized at the next convenient opportunity. 

Selection Criteria

The Selection Committee consists of a subgroup of the ASBC Editorial Board (2 members) and Technical Committee (2 members). ASBC staff manages the process with the assistance of the Journal Editor-in-Chief. 

​Criteria for the selection of “best” publication would include:

  • Publication metrics ('reads' and 'citations'): The one year period is from the date the paper is uploaded for online readership (in order to be fair when one is including views and citations as one of the selection critera since that is tied in with time available for reading and citing.
  • ​​Clarity of exposition
  • Contribution to technical understanding
  • Technical rigor
  • Originality
  • Overall industry relevance
