2008 Measurement Science and Technology Outstanding Paper Awards

Since 1991, Measurement Science and Technology (MST) has awarded a Best Paper prize. The Editorial Board of this journal believes that such a prize is an opportunity to thank authors for submitting their work, and serves as an integral part of the on-going quality review of the journal. The current breadth of topical areas that are covered by MST has made it advisable to expand the recognition of excellent publications. Hence, since 2005 the Editorial Board have presented 'Outstanding Paper Awards' in four subject categories: Fluid Mechanics; Measurement Science; Precision Measurements; and Sensors and Sensing Systems.

Measurement Science and Technology is delighted to announce the winners of the Outstanding Paper Award, as chosen by the Editorial Board. This award, which includes a cash honorarium and certificate, will be presented to the winning authors at suitable venues in the near future.
