Publisher's Note

摘要

The Publisher presents the third annual "Most Cited Paper Award" for Image and Vision Computing. Our most cited paper award offers an alternative to committee-selected "best papers". The only objective and transparent metric that is highly correlated with the quality of a paper is the number of citations. We hope that the design of this most cited paper award will ensure fairness and equal opportunity for all authors published in the Journal. It is our hope that this award will stimulate the best minds to release their best work. Papers for this distinction are determined solely based on the highest number of cites, excluding self-citations, received for all journal articles published between the years 2006-2008 [data culled from SCOPUS reports created on 24 February, 2009].
