The editors of the Journal of Youth and Adolescence are very pleased to announce the 2022 recipient of its Emerging Scholar Best Article Award. This award goes to the article's lead author, who must be an "emerging scholar" (i.e., an untenured researcher, such as a graduate student, postdoctoral scholar, research scientist, or assistant professor) at the time their manuscript was accepted. The recipient of the award is selected by editorial board members who evaluate a volume's manuscripts on the basis of their innovative and substantive contributions to the empirical understanding of adolescence. In addition to receiving the recognition from colleagues, the winner receives a financial award generously provided by Springer, the journal's publisher.The 2022 winner is Natasha R. Magson, for her entitled "Risk and Protective Factors for Prospective Changes in Adolescent Mental Health during the COVID-19 Pandemic" (Magson et al., 2021).
