  • All papers published in the above journals that have a publication date in the years 2016-19, are eligible to be awarded. Papers not eligible for award are only the following: Review or tutorial papers, papers co-authored by EURASIP BoD members or Award Committee members, and papers previously awarded by EURASIP.

    For each journal, a Committee co-chaired by the EURASIP Awards Chair and the Editor-in-Chief carries out the assessment of the papers. The assessment criteria include:

  • Relevance of the topic
  • Quality of the technical content
  • Style of the presentation
  • Originality
