Welcome to the latest of our Eberhard F. Mammen award announcements. As noted previously,[1] [2] [3] Thieme, the publisher of Seminars in Thrombosis & Hemostasis, has created the Eberhard F. Mammen Excellence in Thrombosis and Hemostasis Awards in honor of Eberhard Mammen ([Fig. 1]) and in recognition of his contribution to this field and to the journal that he both founded and steered for over three decades. These awards began in 2009, under two categories, “Most Popular Article Awards” and “Young Investigator Awards.” Current details and conditions of the award can be summarized as:

  • Most Popular Article Awards: The awards are given to the authors of the most popular articles published in Seminars in Thrombosis & Hemostasis. The awards are determined by the Editor in Chief on the basis of user statistics from Thieme e-Journals from the preceding 2 years. Prefaces, Errata, Letters to the Editor, Editorials, and previous award-winning articles are excluded from further consideration of these awards, which currently comprise two categories—one for “Open Access” articles, and another for a “General Category.” There are two major cash prizes of US$1,000 for each category. In addition, winners of the “General Category” awards are granted “open-access” status for these articles thereafter.

  • Young Investigator Awards: These award are given for best presentation or meeting abstract by a young investigator—as presented or delivered to an international or large regional meeting on a topic related to the fields of thrombosis and hemostasis, and whose subject matter is determined to be in the spirit of Dr. Mammen. There are up to six cash prizes of US$1,000 in any year. There are some additional considerations and conditions for the award, and awardees are expected to prepare a review or other paper related to the topic of their presentation for publication in Seminars in Thrombosis & Hemostasis.

Further details of the awards and the award winners are posted online http://www.thieme.com/sth), and previous award winner announcements are also available in print.[4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]

It is therefore with great pleasure that we would like to announce the latest winners of the 2016 Eberhard F. Mammen awards for the most popular articles from Seminars in Thrombosis & Hemostasis for the period of 2014–2015 inclusive. We will be announcing the Young Investigator Awards related to meetings held in the recent past at a forthcoming opportunity.

2016 “Most Popular Article” Awards

As mentioned, the Most Popular awards are given to the authors of the most popular articles published in Seminars in Thrombosis & Hemostasis as determined on the basis of user statistics from the publisher of this journal and covering the preceding 2-year period. Thus, the 2016 “Most Popular” awards are granted to the most popular papers from 2014–2015 inclusive. Previous Eberhard F. Mammen award-winning articles are listed in [Table 1]. These articles are currently available under an “Open Access” status, and no longer qualify for future awards, although many will continue to appear in the most popular download statistics provided by the publisher.

a New open-access category.


There is also an increasingly recognized trend to publish articles in an open-access mode, and these have an “inequitable advantage” over other “non–open-access” articles in terms of downloads due to their open accessibility. Accordingly, the publisher of Seminars in Thrombosis & Hemostasis has established a separate category of the Most Popular Award for “open-access” papers, to supplement the alternate “General Category,” and thus the most popular papers are now listed in separate tables. [Table 2] lists the top 15 downloaded open-access articles from Seminars in Thrombosis & Hemostasis (2014 and 2015 inclusive) eligible for the “Open Access” award.[14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [Table 3] lists the top 15 downloaded non–open-access articles from Seminars in Thrombosis & Hemostasis (2014 and 2015 inclusive) eligible for the “General Category” award.[29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43]

Although I was a co-author of one of the “Most Popular” award-winning papers, my contribution to this piece was limited. Moreover, I will excuse myself from any personal receipt of any aspect of the award. Accordingly, I do not consider there to be any conflict of interest in the publisher of Seminars in Thrombosis & Hemostasis awarding the award to the lead author, Prof. Giuseppe Lippi.

All authors of the award-winning articles were thrilled to hear that their papers had won an Eberhard F. Mammen Most Popular award, and provided the following additional responses:

From Dr. Shannon Bates ([Fig. 2]), “I was surprised and very pleased to hear that my article had been awarded one of 2016 Most Popular Article Awards. Although I enjoy the opportunity that writing a review article provides to thoughtfully examine and synthesize the available literature, I must admit that I often wonder whether the resulting manuscript is of benefit to readers or even noticed. I am delighted, therefore, to find out that readers have found my article useful. It is an honor to receive this award.”

From Dr. Giuseppe Lippi ([Fig. 3]), “I was really delighted to know that our article on ‘e-cigarettes and cardiovascular risk’ had won one of the Eberhard Mammen Seminars in Thrombosis & Hemostasis 2015 most popular article awards. The issues of the possible health hazard posed by E-cigarettes is as relevant now as ever, if one considers that approximately two thirds of national governments around the globe have established strict regulations for e-cigarettes as of 2015. Briefly, in 2014 the European Union established new regulations forbidding advertising, setting limits on maximum concentrations of nicotine, limiting volumes of liquid that can be sold, requiring child-proof and tamper-proof packaging and empowering regulators to take act should the regulations be violated. In April 2014 in Australia, a court decision has made it illegal to sell or supply electronic cigarettes in Western Australia, regardless of their appearance or nicotine content. In the US, with a lack of federal regulations, many states use local e-cigarette regulations, most commonly to prohibit sales to minors. It is also noteworthy that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agency has recently established an on-line database (i.e., Adverse Event Reports for e-Cigarettes), aiming to collect voluntary reports of adverse events involving e-cigarettes from consumers, health professionals and members of the public. Health concerns were mostly related to the evidence of enhanced risk of cardiac arrhythmias, hypertension and cardiovascular events, which may be further magnified by other potential effects such as increased respiratory and flow respiratory resistance. We are therefore really pleased that this article has generated such huge interest around this very actual public health issue.”

From Dr. Philippe de Moerloose ([Fig. 4]), “I am very honored to receive one of the 2016 Most Popular Article Awards for a review on Congenital Fibrinogen Disorders, written with my co-authors and close colleagues Alessandro Casini and Marguerite Neerman-Arbez. In Geneva, we have been working for more than 15 years on the genetic basis and clinical consequences of fibrinogen deficiencies. The fundamental knowledge gained in this field during the past decade has been quite substantial and has translated into a better comprehension of our patient phenotypes with a more tailored approach to their treatment. We are very pleased to learn that a large number of STH readers appreciated our updated review.”

From Dr. Sanjeev Sethi ([Fig. 5]), “It is indeed an honor to be selected for one of the 2016 Most Popular Article Awards. Understanding the pathology behind C3 glomerulopathy and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome is the key to the correct diagnosis, evaluation, and management of these patients. Over the last few years great advances have been made in understanding the role of alternative pathway of complement in C3 glomerulopathy and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. With better elucidation of the pathophysiology, the next step is the development of new agents that can target the specific underlying abnormality or defect that cause C3 glomerulopathy and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. I am very glad that our review of the pathology of these disease entities was well received, and I would also like to sincerely thank my colleague, friend and coauthor, Dr. Fernando Fervenza, with whom I have had numerous great discussions and collaborations.”

I would like, as always, to thank not only all of the authors listed in the tables, but also the contributing authors who did not manage to make these listings, as well as all the guest editors of issues recently published in Seminars in Thrombosis & Hemostasis. Finally, as always, I look forward to seeing future listings!
