The JIBS Decade Award was inaugurated in 1996 to honor the most influential article published in the journal ten years prior. In 2003, Palgrave Macmillan became the publisher of JIBS and also began to sponsor the award. In 2009, as part of the 40th Anniversary celebrations of JIBS, the JIBS Editors also presented awards for the volumes from 1970-1985.
