Most Cited Paper Award The Publisher is pleased to announce the winning article for our annual Computer Aided Geometric Design “Most Cited Paper Award”. 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. Pa-

pers 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 2009– 2010 [data culled from SCOPUS reports (www.scopus.com) created on 25 January 2011]. The winning paper is “Integral invariants for robust geometry processing”, by Helmut Pottmann, Johannes Wallner, Qi-Xing Huang, Yong-Liang Yang, Computer Aided Geometric Design 26 (2009) 37–60. We congratulate Helmut Pottmann, Dr. Wallner, Qi-Xing Huang, Yong-Liang Yang for this great achievement.
