Description
At the beginning of each year, T-NANO selects a paper that appeared in the Transactions during the previous calendar year for its Best Paper Award. Candidate papers are nominated by members of the T-NANO Editorial Board. Evaluation is done by members of the Senior Editors Panel, with criteria including technical merit, originality, potential impact on the field, clarity of presentation, and practical significance for applications.
An annual best paper award to recognize a paper published in the IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology (T-NANO) that is remarkable by its novelty, scientific merit, and potential impact. This award will encourage submission of excellent papers to the journal, and reward outstanding submissions. Note: Nominations by members of the T-NANO Editorial Board ONLY.
Eligibility
The authors are not required to be members of the IEEE, although they will be encouraged to join. Papers by the Editor-in-Chief of the Transactions, the President of the NTC and the NTC Vice President for Publications are ineligible. All other papers are eligible, unless they fall within the limitations spelled out in the IEEE Policy 4.4 cited elsewhere.
Selection / Basis for Judging

Prize
The award will consist of a certificate for each co-author and a $1,000 honorarium. In case a winning paper has several co-authors, the honorarium will be divided equally by all authors.
Presentation
The award will be presented at the annual IEEE Conference on Nanotechnology (NANO) banquet. Attendance by at least one co-author is mandatory to receive the award, but no travel allowance is provided.
