Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. A Feature
Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for
future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive
positive feedback from the reviewers.
Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world.
Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly
interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the
most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.
We are pleased to announce the winners of the Insects 2021 Best Paper Awards. All papers published in 2019 in Insects were considered for the awards. After a thorough evaluation of the originality and significance of the papers, citations, and downloads, the three winning papers, which were nominated by the journal’s Award Committee, have been selected.
The authors will receive an award of 500 CHF and an opportunity to publish one paper free of charge in Insects in 2021, after the normal peer review procedure. We believe the above papers represent valuable contributions to Insects and the scientific literature. We warmly congratulate the winners.
