For the past few years, the editorial team at the Journal of the American Ceramic Society has chosen several papers as the best from among the myriad articles published in the previous year. The authors are invited to present their work at ACerS Annual Meeting held in conjunction with the MS&T conference.

The best papers candidates are selected using several criteria, including recommendations from reviewers and associate editors, comments from readers, and numbers of downloads and citations. The editors review the candidate articles and select those that have promise to greatly impact our community.

The 2021 Journal of the American Ceramic Society Award Symposium was held this past October in Columbus, Ohio, at ACerS Annual Meeting at MS&T21. The best papers for 2021 are listed below along with the corresponding authors.
