New Journal Launches for 2010
Following the successful launch of seven new titles in 2009,
Multi-Science Publishing now announces six further titles for 2010,
taking its title list up to 32. The 2010 new titles are: International
Journal of Protective Structures; Journal of Structural Fire
Engineering; International Journal of Ocean & Climate Systems; Journal
of Healthcare Engineering; International Journal of Micro Nano Scale
Transport; and International Journal of Hypersonics.
Commented Multi-Science Director Bill Hughes, "Watching research
patterns develop in increasingly interdisciplinary ways, and seeing
the emergence of new research interests, commits us, as publishers, to
create fora where academics can communicate with others whose research
interests are as closely aligned to their own as possible. Study after
study has shown that this is a key academic requirement and our
success has been built around meeting that requirement.: in many areas
we publish the only English-language journal wholly serving a
particular subdiscipline. Not only do we create useful conduits
through which scientific communication can purposefully flow, we
remove potential obstacles to communication. Our journals are anyway
realistically priced - easily affordable even on the subscription
model - and, through pioneering consortia deals such as Knowledge
Exchange and the ALPSP-CRKN agreement, can be available to university
libraries at really low prices. The next step is to marry the goal of
even wider access, beyond academia, with the fundamental need for the
sustainability of the publishing model. In 2010, we expect to be
making some radical proposals in that respect."
