Excellent papers published during the last half-year of 2013: Six research groups from OUS awarded for publishing excellent articles
In order to stimulate excellent research and draw attention to the hospital's extensive research activity, Oslo University Hospital reward outstanding publications regularly. Every half-year, six of the best papers first- or last-authored by scientists working on the hospital are selected. The nomination takes place through the research panel of each division, and the final selection process is performed by an external committee.
In April Oslo University Hospital rewarded six research groups for their excellent papers published during the last half-year of 2013. Each group received NOK 50.000 for use in further research.
The six selected articles are of especially high quality, and they present important finding on both-short and long-term scales. The works reflect the good quality and the interdisciplinarity that characterises several research environments at Oslo University Hospital. The research is a fundamental condition for the institution to maintain and strenghten the quality in the patient treatment, says vice adminestering dirctor Tove Strand, who distributed the prizes on behalf of the hospital.
The articles are nominated by the research panels in the hospitals respective clinics. Then they have been evaluated by an external committee, who have selected the six winners.
