We’re pleased to announce that nominations are now open for this year’s PLOS Computational Biology Research Prize. This  program recognizes the best research articles published in 2017 in three categories:

 

Breakthrough Advance

Novel Methods/Software

Public Impact

 

Have you read a 2017 PLOS Computational Biology Research Article that stood out for you in terms scientific excellence or impact on your field? Maybe you edited or reviewed a manuscript that caught your attention? If so, nominate them now for our “PLOS Computational Biology Research Prize”!

A $2,000 (USD) prize will be awarded to the authors of the winning Research Article in each category from a pool of public nominations, selected by the PLOS Computational Biology Research Prize Committee.

Also, to show our appreciation for nominating, each complete nomination of an eligible Research Article published in 2017 will be entered into a random prize drawing to receive a PLOS T-shirt!
