On behalf of the Editor in Chief and Elsevier, the Publisher is pleased to announce the winning article for our annual Interacting with Computers Most Cited Paper Award. Our most cited paper award offers an alternative to committee-selected “best papers”. The only objective and transparent metric, which is highly correlated with the quality of a paper, is the number of citations. We hope that the design of this most cited paper award will assure fairness and equal opportunity for all authors published in the Journal. It is our hope that this award will stimulate the best minds to release their best work. Papers for this distinction are determined solely based on the highest number of cites, excluding self-citations, received for all journal articles published between the years 2009 and 2011 [data culled from SCOPUS reports (www.scopus.com) created on 11 January 2012]. For the second year in a row, the winning paper is “Fundamentals of physiological computing”, by Stephen H. Fairclough, Interact. Comput. 21 (2009) 133-145.

We congratulate Dr. Fairclough on this great achievement.

Dr. Stephen Fairclough, School of Natural Sciences and Psychology, Liverpool John Moores University, Tom Reilly Building, Byrom Street, Liverpool L3 3AF, UK
