The award winning papers are chosen following consultation amongst the journal’s editorial team, many of whom are eminent academics or managers.

“It is an honor to receive this award and recognition. It represents the long hours and effort I gave that would have not been accomplished without the true guidance and dedication of Dr. Ted Lewis,” said Dr. Al-Mannai. His rich experience in the area of critical infrastructure protection had a major role in receiving the award and recognition for this research.”
