Best Paper Award

Aerospace established the Best Paper Awards to recognize its best published original research articles.

Nominations were selected by the Editorial Office of Aerospace based on the number of citations, views and downloads from the website. All research articles published in 2017 were eligible for consideration. The selection committee was chaired by the Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Dr. Konstantinos Kontis, and supported by the Editorial Board Members. They examined each paper and expressed their recommendations for the ranking of the “Aerospace Best Paper Awards” 2017.
