To recognize and promote high-quality, scientifically robust, and widely influential papers published in each journal, AccScience Publishing (ASP) has established the following two reward policies:
Highly Cited Paper Award
The High Citation Paper Award is held annually. The selection committee will choose 3 outstanding papers from the previous year’s publications in each journal and announce the winners by the end of March.
The Prize:
– Bonus ($100);
– A certificate;
– A voucher to cover applicable article processing charges (valid for one year).
Selection Criteria: Papers are selected based on their citation counts recorded in Web of Science & Scopus & Google Scholar.

More and more researchers are choosing to publish their work via open access with AccScience Publishing to make their scientific contributions widely available, discoverable, and accessible to the global community. The High Download Paper Award is designed to recognize and reward the most downloaded open access articles, encouraging the spread of high-quality research findings.
This award will be held annually, starting in 2024.
Awards for the top three papers by download count:
