The Association of American Publishers (AAP) has announced the finalists for the 2020 Professional and Scholarly Excellence (PROSE) Awards honoring scholarly works published in 2019, comprising a total of 157 finalists across 49 subject categories. Since 1976, the Association of American Publishers’ annual 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 each year.
In announcing the finalists, AAP commends the panel of 19 judges who reviewed more than 630 entries in this year’s competition, ultimately discovering works that speak to the breadth, depth, and criticality of scholarly publishing.
In the next few weeks, AAP will further refine the field by announcing a Subject Category Winner from among the finalists in each of the 49 categories. Subject Category Winners will go on to compete for one of five 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; The 2019 PROSE Award for Excellence in Reference Works; The 2019 PROSE Award for Excellence in Social Sciences.
One of these five Excellence Winners will receive the prestigious R.R. Hawkins Award, the top prize of the annual PROSE competition, which will be named this month. The R.R. Hawkins Award winner will be further celebrated at AAP’s annual Professional and Scholarly Publishers (PSP) forum in Washington, DC, taking place this year on June 23, 2020.
