Excerpt

It is always difficult to select “best papers” from the large inventory of excellent publications in a comprehensive journal like Environmental Earth Sciences (EES) with broad aims and scope. The editors decided to award the 15 papers that were most cited over the last two years, i.e., the 2017 award goes to the most cited papers from 2015–2016. This procedure is at least compatible to the calculation of a journals impact factor (https://​en.​wikipedia.​org/​wiki/​Impact_​factor). It is controversial, whether good papers can really be measured during such a short period. Papers with long-lasting impact will fall out of the grid. This procedure can be improved substantially in the future, and recommendations are surely welcome. …
