The 11th Best Paper Award 2020 ceremony was held virtually on September 23, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and concerns about the health and safety of the attendees, the winners and IJAT committee members who took part in the selection process attended through Zoom. The Best Paper was carefully selected from among the 84 papers published in Vol.13 (2019). The Best Paper Award winners were given a certificate with a nearly USD 1,000 honorarium.

We congratulate the winners and sincerely wish them success in the future.
