A new research prize has been introduced by Oslo University Hospital. Every half-year, six of the very best papers authored by scientists working on the hospital (first or last author must be affiliated to OUS) are selected.
The awarded articles from the first half-year of 2011 have now been announced. These have been chosen among 19 nominated papers, and have gained considerable international scientific impact.
