John J. Sciarra Prize Paper Award for 2026

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The editors of the International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics (IJGO) are pleased to announce a prize award for the best clinical research paper from a low- or middle-income country published in the IJGO during 2026. All clinical research articles from low- and middle-income countries published in 2026 will be considered for this prize. Selection will be made by the editors and the decision will be announced in IJGO in 2027. The winning corresponding author will receive a £1000 stipend, a certificate of recognition, and complimentary access to the online version of IJGO for a period of 1 year from the date the prize is awarded. Notification will be made to the corresponding author, who will be responsible for determining distribution of the winnings. This award has been established for the purpose of encouraging investigators, especially young scientists, from low- and middle-income countries to submit their very best clinical research articles for publication in IJGO. IJGO is the official publication of the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO), the primary international organization for the specialty of obstetrics and gynecology. FIGO is dedicated to enhancing the health care of women worldwide, and the prize award is intended to encourage authors to work toward the FIGO mission, which is, in part, to serve an international audience by publishing original scientific articles and communications originating in low-income countries, emphasizing important obstetric and gynecologic problems, issues, and perspectives, such as maternal mortality and family planning. Data sharing is not applicable to this article as no new data were created or analyzed in this study.
