The PROSE Awards recognize the very best in professional and scholarly publishing by bringing attention to distinguished books, journals and electronic content, published annually in over 40 categories.  Judged by a distinguished panel of peer publishers, librarians, academics and medical professionals, and presented since 1976, the PROSE Awards are extraordinary for their breadth and depth. 

 

Each year, publishers and authors are recognized at the PSP Annual Conference in Washington, D.C., for their commitment to pioneering works of research and for contributing to the conception, production and design of landmark works in their fields.  The R.R. Hawkins Award, presented to the most outstanding work among the publications selected, has been given to 33 works since its inception.  Indeed, winners represent a broad range of disciplines: they have included Three Thousand Years of Chinese Painting (Yale University Press), Atlas of Clinical Gross Anatomy (Elsevier) and The Dream of the Poem (Princeton University Press).  The recipient of the 2008 R.R. Hawkins Award was Harvard University Press for The Race between Education and Technology by Claudia Goldin and Lawrence F. Katz.

 

This year’s award’s planning committee has undertaken a number of changes to strengthen the level of participation among member publishers and the representation of published projects, especially journals and electronic publications.
