My article 'Vertical and horizontal listening on internal social media during a time of crisis: A case study of a Danish hospital', in the journal Journal of Communication Management, has won the award for Outstanding Paper in the 2024 Emerald Literati Awards. The winners are chosen by the journal's editorial team giving the winning authors confidence in knowing that their paper was one of the most impressive pieces of work from the previous year.

Ultimately, an outstanding paper should have the ‘x-factor’ – something that makes it stand out from the rest.
