Article of the Year
Once a year, we select the best from the good: the article of the year.
All contributions which have been published in the respective previous calendar year are eligible for the award, with the exception of those published under the co-authorship of the editors.
In deviation from this, the first award in August 2021 exceptionally takes into account publications from two volumes (2019/2020), since only two issues were published in the founding year.
The decision on the „article of the year“, which comes with a prize money of 150 euros, is made by a jury consisting of the German-speaking editorial board and the editorial team.
