IJDVL Awards 2015

Every year, our Journal recognises the authors of articles that are judged to be the best in their category, selected by members of the editorial team.

The winners of the awards for articles published in 2015 are:

Bishnupriya Devi Award for best Original Article

Best Case Reports/Letters

Till last year, we used to have one award for the best Case Report and 2 awards for the best Letters. But we now publish only 1-2 case reports in every issue and quite a few letters, and since there is so much overlap in their content we have decided to club them into one group for award purposes.
