Every year, the American Publishers Awards for Professional and Scholarly Excellence (PROSE Awards) celebrate the greatest achievements in scholarly and professional publishing by highlighting notable journals, books, and electronic content across more than 40 categories. The PROSE Awards honor an extreme breadth and depth of content, ranging from physical science and mathematics to architecture and urban planning.
Since 1976, judging for the PROSE Awards has been conducted by peer publishers, medical experts, and librarians. After the award winners are announced, authors and publishers gather at the PSP Annual Conference in Washington, D.C., where they are recognized for furthering the conception, design, and production of groundbreaking texts in their fields of study.
