About the Award
ISPE’s Roger F. Sherwood Article of the Year award was established in 1993. Three decades later, 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 by identifying final-ists and a single winning article for each publication year.
2022 Judging
A subcommittee of the PEC served as judges for the 2022 award competition, reviewing articles and providing assessments on the following criteria: usefulness to ISPE readers; how the articles improve the knowledge of key topics; and clarity and ease of reading.
