Each article that is published in the Family & Consumer Sciences Research Journal during the year is considered in January of the following year for a Best Paper award. The Associate Editors for each subdiscipline choose the best paper in that subdiscipline based on three criteria: originality of the topic, strength of the research methodology, and potential for a lasting contribution to family and consumer sciences. Then, these papers are considered for the Outstanding Paper award. Another award focuses on tenure track Assistant Professors; it is titled the Emerging Scholar Award. Since 2009, the award winners have been honored at the annual conference of the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences (AAFCS).
