In 2019, the Editorial Board of The Economic and Labour Relations Review (ELRR) approved the establishment of the Nevile-Plowman Prize for the best article published in ELRR in any one year.
The Prize is named after the journal's founding editors, Professor John Nevile and Professor David Plowman, deeply respected scholars in economics and industrial relations respectively. Professor Plowman died in 2013, and today Professor Nevile is the ELRR Patron.
