The award from the Association of American Publishers honors the best scholarly work from 2018
Washington, DC; Feb. 7, 2019 – The Association of American Publishers (AAP) today announced that Cyberwar: How Russian Hackers and Trolls Helped Elect a President won the R.R. Hawkins Award, the ultimate winner of the 2019 PROSE Awards competition. The R.R. Hawkins Award Winner and four PROSE Award for Excellence Winners were announced at the PROSE Award luncheon in Washington, DC during the 2019 AAP Professional and Scholarly Publishing Conference.
According to the PROSE Awards Judges, “the book is scholarship at its finest, a narrative page-turner that could not be of greater consequence.”
“In an age of unreliable narrators, Kathleen Hall Jamieson’s body of work is a testament to evidence-based empiricism,” said Niko Pfund, Global Academic Publisher, Oxford University Press & President Oxford University Press, USA. “In honoring this book and her scholarship with this award, the AAP also recognizes the quest for truth at the heart of the scholarly enterprise and the mission of university presses.”
