Limnology - Limnology Excellent Paper Award

The Excellent Paper Award is presented each year by the Japanese Society of Limnology to authors of outstanding papers published in Limnology and the Japanese Journal of Limnology in the past two years. From 2017, Excellent Paper Award nominees are chosen separately for Limnology (Limnology Excellent Paper Award) and the Japanese Journal of Limnology (Japanese Journal of Limnology Excellent Paper Award). The award honors authors of papers that represent exceptional achievements in the field of Limnology.
