Congratulations to This Year’s JOE Award Winners!

Posted in Member News and Profiles | March 1, 2021

The Editorial Board of the Journal of Endodontics is excited to announce the winners of the 2021 JOE Awards.

The JOE Publication Awards are presented to authors of published papers in the Journal of Endodontics that represent innovative thought and significant advances in the endodontic field.

The AAE proudly recognizes JOE Publication Award recipients and continues the tradition of honoring the achievements and contributions of these individuals to the specialty of endodontics.

Awards are named in the following categories:

Basic Science: Biology
Basic Science: Technology
Case Reports/Clinical Techniques
Clinical Research
Regenerative Endodontics
Systematic and Scoping Reviews

Papers eligible for the award are those that represent significant advances in endodontics and adhere to the principles of the scientific method. Position papers and editorials are not considered for this award. Papers are judged based upon:

• Scientific merit and broad impact on dental research
• Relevance to endodontics
• Originality of research objectives and/or ideas presented
• Creativity of study design or uniqueness of approaches and concepts
• Validity of statistical and/or epidemiological methods
• Clarity of presentation

This year’s JOE Award winners, along with last year’s winners (due to AAE20’s cancellation) will be recognized in a special ceremony during AAE21 | Live & On Demand! Stay tuned for more information, and be sure to register for AAE21.

Nominations for the 2022 Awards will open this fall.

Congratulations to this year’s winners!:
