Rafał Weron’s article “Electricity price forecasting: A review of the state-of-the-art with a look into the future” (International Journal of Forecasting, 2014) has been selected as a winning paper in the prestigious Emerald Citation of Excellence Award for 2017. Each year Emerald Group Publishing awards certificates to highly cited papers relating to the areas of Business Management, Finance, Accounting, Economics and Marketing. The selection process made by editorial experts is based initially on the citations being given to papers published in a previous year (in this case 2014), but the judging panel also takes into account the content of the papers themselves in terms of novelty, inter-disciplinary interest and relevancy in today’s world.
