The Association of American Publishers (AAP) has unveiled 165 finalists across 49 subject categories for the 2019 PROSE Awards honouring scholarly works published in 2018. Since 1976, the Association of American Publishers Awards for Professional and Scholarly Excellence [PROSE Awards] have recognised publishers who produce books, journals, and digital products of extraordinary merit that make a significant contribution to a field of study in a given year.
A panel of 18 judges reviewed more than 500 entries in this year’s competition. The finalists have achieved a tremendous honour that speaks to the breadth and depth of scholarly publishing.
On January 29, 2019, AAP will further refine the field by announcing a Subject Category Winner from among the finalists in each category. Subject Category Winners will go on to compete for one of four awards: The 2019 PROSE Award for Excellence in Biological and Life Sciences; The 2019 PROSE Award for Excellence in Humanities; The 2019 PROSE Award for Excellence in Physical Sciences and Mathematics; and The 2019 PROSE Award for Excellence in Social Sciences.
One of these four will receive, the R.R. Hawkins Award, the ultimate winner of the annual PROSE competition.
AAP will reveal the R.R. Hawkins Award Winner and the four PROSE Award for Excellence Winners at the PROSE Award luncheon in Washington, DC on February 7, 2019 at the 2019 AAP Conference for Professional and Scholarly Publishing.
