2017年雄鸡报晓， 浙江大学出版社期刊中心所属的《浙江大学学报英文版》（JZUS）接到一份来自英国伦敦书展官方的通知，“很高兴通知Journal of Zhejiang University-Science (JZUS) 被提名为国际出版卓越奖项中的‘学术与专业出版奖’”。至2月8日晚接到正式通知，JZUS与澳大利亚科学出版集团（CSIRO Publishing, Australia)、法国世界经合组织出版社(OECD Publishing, France)同时入围“学术与专业出版卓越奖”项。浙江大学出版社期刊中心JZUS也成为自伦敦书展2014年开设“国际出版卓越奖”以来首家入围的学术期刊，也是国际学术出版业界对中国学术期刊的认可！

英国伦敦图书博览会于2014年开设的“国际出版卓越奖” 意在褒奖整个出版产业链上成就非凡的从业者，也是英国对国际出版市场上杰出企业与个人，及各种创新项目的认可。国际出版卓越奖共有16个类别，包括学术与专业出版、儿童出版、文学翻译和数字创新等。其每个单项的评审小组均由该领域的国际专家组成。十六个奖项中10个面向英国以外的国际出版市场公开评选， 3个仅颁给波兰市场，另外 3个给包括英国在内的所有国家。

伦敦书展总监Jacks Thomas表示：“很高兴2017年国际出版卓越奖入围名单来自五大洲，代表全球性。这份名单里的竞赛者其力度和广度令人印象深刻，证实了所有出版，销售和把书籍献给广大读者的从业热情，承诺和创造力。伦敦的全球化，多元文化和创新中心，将所有才华横溢的出版者和鼓舞人心的企业聚集在一起，我非常期待3月14日，欢迎所有入围名单的来者，共同庆祝你们的成功！”

2017年2月8日公布的入围名单中，法国领先，占有4席，中国、美国、南非和加拿大各有3项，印度2项。其他一些国家各有单项入围。中国入围的奖项，除浙江大学出版社期刊中心JZUS入围“学术与专业出版卓越奖”外，另有外语教学与研究出版社分别入围“国际教育活动奖”和“专业版权人奖”。
