Since 2018, the journal confers a "young investigator award" in recognition of excellence in the fields of symmetry phenomena in the natural sciences. The award consists of 2000 Swiss francs, an offer to publish a paper free of charge following peer review, and an engraved plaque. The journal also confers various other awards, typically on a yearly basis,[10] and chooses a small number of articles judged to be of particular interest or importance to the field, which are selected as "Editor's Choice".[11]
