Paper Award

JAST Best Paper Awards

The Best Paper Award is given annually to the author(s), either the JAST members or non-members, of the paper(s) judged as the best paper(s) published in Journal of Japanese Society of Tribologists (Toraiborojisuto) and Tribology Online (TROL) for the previous three years. All papers that appeared in Toraiborojisuto and TROL for the three years are reviewed by the JAST Awards Committee. Tribology Online Best Paper Award was finished and replaced with this JAST Best Paper Award in 2019.
