Metabolites Best Paper Awards for 2015

Metabolites is instituting annual awards to recognize the most outstanding papers in metabolism and metabolomics published in Metabolites.

We are pleased to announce the recipients of the first “Metabolites Best Paper Awards”. Nominations were selected by the Editor-in-Chief and several Editorial Board members of Metabolites from all original research articles published in 2013 or 2014.

We are pleased to announce that the following three papers were chosen to receive “Metabolites Best Paper Awards” for 2015. I congratulate all of the authors and thank them for their significant and important contributions to the field of metabolism and metabolomics. In recognition of their accomplishment, Dr. Larissa Stanberry, Dr. Royston Goodacre and Dr. Anne-Christin Hauschild will receive the privilege of publishing a paper free of charge in open access format in Metabolites, respectively, after the usual peer-review procedure. I also thank the members of the Selection Committee for their efforts.
