The APE Award

The APE Award for Innovation in Scholarly Communication was born to celebrate the 18th birthday of the APE Conference in 2023. This prestigious accolade celebrates the pioneers who shape the future of academic publishing. This award, supported by Digital Science, will be given to an individual who has brought innovation in scholarly communication to the community, whether through infrastructure, technology, or business models. This innovation may be through topic, theory, or practice. The APE Award continues to champion innovation, bringing together visionaries from diverse backgrounds to redefine scholarly communication.
