AS&T Outstanding Publication Award

The AS&T Outstanding Publication Award is presented annually to a paper published in Aerosol Science and Technology (AS&T), regardless of publication date. The award recognizes publications that have made a significant and lasting impact on the field of aerosol science. Nominations must include the following:

Full publication details (title, authors, journal reference, and publication date)
A brief justification for the nomination
A citation of approximately 100 words summarizing the significance and impact of the paper. This citation should be suitable for dissemination with the award announcement.

Submissions for the 2026 Annual Awards will be accepted beginning March 19th. Nominations will close June 12th. If you have any questions, please contact info@aaar.org.

AS&T's Editor-in-Chief presents the AS&T Outstanding Publication Award at the annual AAAR meeting. It consists of a certificate for each co-author, one plaque to be used at the discretion of the co-authors, and monetary award of $2000.In addition, it is announced in AS&T along with the rationale for its choice.
