Honouring Outstanding Scholarly Books and Journal Articles Across Disciplines
“Publish for India” Excellence Awards are the first-ever national awards dedicated exclusively to recognizing outstanding academic and research publications in India. Instituted by Publishing Matters, these awards honour excellence, innovation, and integrity in scholarly publishing—across both books and peer-reviewed journal articles.
Celebrating contributions from across the Humanities, Social Sciences, STEM, Medicine, and Interdisciplinary fields, the “Publish for India” Excellence Awards shine a spotlight on impactful monographs, edited volumes, textbooks, regional language works, and journal articles that advance knowledge and serve the public good.
In addition to the core categories, the Special Jury Recognition Awards acknowledge exceptional contributions that may not fall within traditional categories—such as early-career authorship, publishing in regional languages, innovation in digital formats, and efforts that promote open, inclusive, and socially impactful scholarship.
This pioneering initiative reflects a growing national commitment to strengthening research communication and author recognition, particularly for scholars from India and the Global South.
