Versions Notes
Started in 2009, our journal will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2019. Remote Sensing boasts a most recent Impact Factor of 3.406 (2017). To acknowledge our authors’ support, we set the “Remote Sensing 10th Anniversary Best Paper Award” as one of the award categories in celebration of the 10th Anniversary of Remote Sensing in 2019. There are 10 awards, including one special award, two Rank 1 awards, three Rank 2 awards and four Rank 3 awards.
Nominations from all papers published from 2009 to 2018 were made by the Evaluation Committee and finally approved by the Editor-in-Chief (EiC), Dr. Prasad S. Thenkabail. Following a review process by the Evaluation Committee, 10 final winners were selected.
