The purpose of the IEEE Council on Radiofrequency Identification (CRFID) James Clerk Maxwell Best Journal Paper Award is to promote and recognize on a yearly basis an outstanding scientific paper published in the IEEE Journal of RFID in the two preceding calendar years.

The award is based on originality, impact, relevance to the CRFID Community, and quality of writing/presentation. It consists of $1,000 per award (split equally among authors) and a certificate for each winning (co)-author of the winning paper.

This award is named after James Clerk Maxwell to honor his pivotal role in the field of electromagnetic propagation, which is the foundation on which Radiofrequency Identification technology is based.
