The Best of JAPA

Since 1989, APA has selected one JAPA article as the year's best. (From 1989-1998, both a Best Article and a Best Feature were chosen.) Members of the JAPA Editorial Advisory Board serve as judges and the award is presented at the National Planning Conference.

In addition to these award winners, APA staff selected several other articles that merit special recognition for their timelessness, influence, and overall excellence.

Almost every JAPA article published since 1935 may be purchased online (or accessed free by subscribers) at the JAPA archives.
