Announcement of Distinguished GPB Articles from 2003 to 2011
The Open Access journal Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics (GPB) would like to announce the award program for distinguished articles published in GPB.
The list for the first batch of 15 distinguished articles was released in December 2014 (Table 1). These articles were submitted from China, USA, Canada, Germany, Japan and Greece in the type of Review, Research, Method and Application Note. The editorial award committee recognized these notable and distinguished articles from all the articles published 2003?2011 according to the dissemination score calculated based on citation statistics from the Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar, as well as downloading statistics from the ScienceDirect with the time after publication taken into account. The selected papers represent the top quality articles published during the founding period of GPB.
This event is supported by the Project for Enhancing International Impact of China STM Journals (PIIJ) of China. PIIJ was launched jointly by six national organizations and ministries including Chinese Academy of Sciences to foster quick development of China’s quality international STM journals for better dissemination. As the official journal of Beijing Institute of Genomics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Genetics Society of China, GPB was one of the journals elected for the selective support by the PIIJ to improve journal impact in the global scientific community.
Beside the distinguished article award program, GPB also supports Open Access publication by covering the majority of the article processing charge (APC). In addition, outstanding articles elected as Editors’ pick will be published with APC waived.
The second batch of distinguished GPB articles will be selected from the articles published in 2012 and onwards and announced tentatively in 2015.
Congratulations to all authors of the awarded distinguished articles!
