>>> Web of Science evaluation started [as of 28 August 2008]
Volume 11 is the first of three consecutive volumes evaluated for inclusion in the Web of Science. Inclusion will increase the accessibility of articles and continue to signal the quality of science published to the entire community. In times of multinational professional publishers and increased competitiveness this is not easily achieved.
