About the Roger F. Sherwood Article of the Year Award

PE article of the year logo ISPE’s Roger F. Sherwood Article of the Year award was established in 1993. The award showcases the best content in Pharmaceutical Engineering®, increases industry recognition, highlights ISPE’s reputation as a global knowledge leader, and bolsters magazine content quality.

Although various judges have taken part in assessing articles over the years, one constant remains: recognition of quality and excellence in content through identifying finalists and a single winning article for each publication year.
