PROSE Awards
Since 1976, the Association of American Publishers’ awards for Professional and Scholarly Excellence (PROSE Awards) have recognized publishers who produce books, journals, and digital products of extraordinary merit that make a significant contribution to a field of study in the humanities, biological and physical sciences, reference and social sciences. Up to 64 awards are given each year, leading up to the very top honor, the distinguished R.R. Hawkins Award. Click here to learn more.
