ALPSP/Charlesworth Award for Best Learned Journal

In a highly competitive field, the winner of this award is the Journal of Glaciology, published by the International Glaciological Society, selected by the judges for its excellent demonstration of design and production standards, and an overall dynamic feel.

        "The International Glaciological Society is delighted that the Journal of Glaciology has won this prestigious award. Published first in 1947, the Journal has undergone a radical redesign to reflect the topical and dynamic nature of glaciology today. We wanted a design that would make the most of the often stunning images of glaciers taken from the ground and from space, while making large amounts of data and complex mathematics lucid and attractive on the page. It has been a time of rapid change in the Journal office. Along with the redesign, we have introduced speedy online publication, ease of internet access and fast-tracking of cutting-edge new papers. We are very pleased that our efforts have been recognised by the judges."

Christine Butler, Production Manager
International Glaciological Society

Special mention goes to Clinical Medicine (Journal of the Royal College of Physicians) and Nature's Clinical Practice.

ALPSP/Charlesworth Award for Best Online Journal

New in 2007, this award was introduced in recognition of the fact that more and more journal content is published online. The winner is the Biochemical Journal from Portland Press. Launched in January 2007, the judges considered this journal to be both visually attractive and easy to use, with content clearly displayed and information for authors, readers and librarians readily available.

        "We are delighted to be awarded the ALPSP/Charlesworth Award for Best Online Journal for 2007. Portland Press has overcome the limitations of print and exploited the flexibility of the digital environment to re-purpose the Biochemical Journal online. The journal has been re-mastered for the digital age to offer readers and authors an enhanced platform in which to build online communities within selected knowledge environments."

Rhonda Oliver, Managing Director
Portland Press Ltd

The judges gave special mention to bmj.com from BMJ Publishing and the New England Journal of Medicine published by the Massachusetts Medical Society.

ALPSP/Charlesworth Award for Best New Journal

The winner of the award for 2007 is Jazz Perspectives published by Routledge, Taylor & Francis. The judges were impressed by the accurate identification of the market need, the journal's rapid success and clear and exciting possibilities for future development.

        "What can be more cool than this?! It is always rather humbling to receive an accolade from one's peers, but it is also especially pleasing to know that lots of hard work and dedication have been recognised. Both the academic editors and the Routledge team had a vision of a new type of journal in music studies, and this has carried through into the content, design, production and marketing of the inaugural issue. The award is testament also to a long tradition of successful innovation in arts and humanities publishing under the Routledge imprint."

David Green, Global Journals Publishing Director
Taylor & Francis Group Ltd

The judges awarded a Highly Commended Certificate to Nanomedicine published by Future Medicine Ltd.

        "We are delighted that Nanomedicine has been awarded a highly commended certificate for the Best New Journal Award. The commendation is a tribute to the hard work of our Senior Editors, Kostas Kostarelos of the University of London, and Charles Martin of the University of Florida. We must also give profound thanks to our own Launch Editor, Dr Morag Robertson, who has worked tirelessly to ensure that this rapidly emerging scientific discipline is now served with an excellent forum for commentary and debate."

Elisa Manzotti, Editorial Director

The judges also made special mention of the other journals on the shortlist: Intellectual Property Law and Practice (Oxford University Press); ACS Chemical Biology (American Chemical Society) and The Economist's Voice (Berkeley Electronic Press).

ALPSP/Charlesworth Award for Publishing Innovation

The clear winner of this year's award was Project Prospect from the Royal Society of Chemistry. This project sees the introduction of semantics into chemical science publishing. Project Prospect journals incorporate standard metadata within the full text of their articles and combine this with an elegant and intuitive on screen manifestation of the advantages of including this metadata.

As a result, the judges found searching of the literature to be sophisticated and highly effective, and the value gained from reading each article significantly enhanced. Project Prospect it is delightfully simple to use and its benefits to authors and readers are immediately obvious.

        "RSC Publishing is proud to win the 2007 ALPSP Charlesworth Award for Publishing Innovation, which is great recognition for the work our publishing staff and academic partners have put into the development and evolution of Project Prospect. We feel this award demonstrates that the addition and application of standard data and terminology can add real value and increase scientific accessibility within the published literature, and learned societies are ideally placed to widen the use and application of structured science in their publications."

Richard Kidd, Manager, Editorial Production Systems
RSC Publishing

The judges awarded a Highly Commended Certificate to the Stratog.net distance learning programme from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.

        "We are thrilled to have been awarded 'Highly Commended' for StratOG.net distance learning programme. We are excited to be able to offer trainees in obstetrics and gynaecology this comprehensive collection of over 100 online e-tutorials because we are aware of the pressure that trainees face to develop knowledge alongside busy clinical duties. A team of 100 authors have devoted so much time, energy and enthusiasm to the project so the award is gratefully received and we look forward to StratOG.net supporting the success of trainees in our profession."
