Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. A Feature
Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for
future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive
positive feedback from the reviewers.
Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world.
Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly
interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the
most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.
We are very pleased to announce the winners of the 2018 Mathematics Best Paper Award. Six research articles were selected by the journal award committee according to their originality and significance as well as citation and download rates in 2019 (Web of Science). Each nomination was examined by the committee members, who expressed their preferences as a ranking from which the winners of the 2018 Mathematics Best Paper Award were determined.
The award recipients will each receive a certificate and an offer to publish a paper free of charge in Mathematics, subject to the normal peer review procedure. Each paper will additionally receive a bonus based on the award class. The winners are as follows:
