Awards | The 2013 Algerian Paper of the Year Awards

anasr.org launched the first edition of the Algerian Paper of the Year Awards in January 2013 to recognise and celebrate scientific publications produced by Algerian scientists and researchers across five disciplines: Biological Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Computer Science & Engineering, Medicine Pharmacy & Veterinary Science, and Physical Science & Mathematics (Read original call here).

We have received an impressive 160 nominations for the awards across the five disciplines, which underwent a rigorous shortlisting and peer-reviewing process. anasr.org‘s Awards Committee recruited a total of 15 researchers for the shortlisting and a panel of 26 international experts for the reviewing process. The full report can be found here, and the financial report can be downoaded from here.

The Algerian Paper of the Year Awards has been a journey that led us to discover brilliant science produced in Algerian universities and research institutions and to meet brilliant Algerian scientists from all over the world. We would like to thank all those who nominated their papers for the Awards, all those who helped shortlist and review the nominations, as well as the broader community of Algerian academics, scientists, researchers and practitioners who helped support this initiative and made it a success.

We are already looking forward to the 2014 edition and hope that you will continue to support the Algerian Paper of the Year Awards.
