Editor Appointments

Prof. Quan Min Zhu from the Bristol Institute of Technology at the University of the West of England has taken over the editorship of the established and highly regarded International Journal of Computer Applications in Technology, which has been in publication since 1999 and now publishes 12 issues per year. Professor Zhu has proved to be a highly effective and efficient editor, having already proposed, developed and taken into its seventh volume the International Journal of Modelling, Identification and Control. This journal, too, now publishes 12 issues per year, having started publication in 2006.

Professor Brian F. Towler (http://wwweng.uwyo.edu/chemical/faculty/towler.html), CEAS Fellow for Hydrocarbon Energy Resources in the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering at the University of Wyoming, has taken on responsibility for the development and publication of the International Journal of Petroleum Engineering.

Professor Andrew K. Dragun and Professor Kristin Jakobsson have agreed to take over the editorship of both the International Journal of Agricultural Resources, Governance and Ecology and the International Journal of Water. Both Professors Dragun and Jakobsson are from the Australian Rivers Institute at Griffith University in Nathan, Queensland in Australia. These two established titles are part of Inderscience's substantial collection of Energy and Environment journals (www.inderscience.com/eesd).

Professor Mark Goh from the National University of Singapore Business School has joined Professor Robert De Souza, Executive Director of The Logistics Institute - Asia Pacific and Adjunct Professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology Supply Chain and Logistics Institute, as Co-Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Agile Systems and Management. IJASM is in its fourth year of publication.

Professor Weiping Cai, Director of the Institute of Solid State Physics and Head of the Key Lab of Materials Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has undertaken to continue the development of the International Journal of Nanoparticles from 2011. Professor Cai’s research interests span nanoparticles’ assembly (patterning), nanostructured arrays and devices and the physics and chemistry of nanoparticles. He has published more than 130 papers in the international journals.

Prof. D.Y. Li of the Departments of Chemical and Materials Engineering, and Bio-medical Engineering at the University of Alberta in Edmonton will take over editorship of the International Journal of Nano and Biomaterials. Professor Li's research interests include nano- and bio-tribology, photocatalytic materials, surface science/engineering, computational materials science, and bio-medical interfacial interaction. IJNBM will be into its third year of publishing next year.

Meanwhile, Professor Jonathan Liu, International Visiting Professor in Global Business Management at the Regent's Business School of Regent's College, London, has agreed to take over the running, as Executive Editor, of the well-established International Journal of Business Performance Management, which will be publishing its 12th volume next year.

Title change

The previously-announced International Journal of Luxury Intelligence has changed its title to Luxury Intelligence: an International Journal, to avoid conflict with a previously-unknown trademark. Professor Mounir Kehal of the International University of Monaco in Monte Carlo will continue the development of the journal under its new title.

Issue Increases

The International Journal of Ad Hoc and Ubiquitous Computing, currently in its fourth volume, continues its successful development by announcing that it intends to publish eight issues per year from 2010, rather than the current six.

The International Journal of Public Policy has announced that from 2010 it will increase the number of issues from 6 to 8 per year. Perhaps this is hardly surprising, given the subject coverage of the journal and the recent events affecting it; as the journal's description says, "The emphasis [of the journal] will be on governance, accountability, the creation of wealth and wellbeing, and the implications policy choices have on nation states and their citizens."

Back Files Uploaded

As part of an ongoing process to complete online coverage of all Inderscience issues, the files of both the International Journal of Technology Management and the International Journal of Environment and Pollution are now available from volume 1 onwards. For full-text access, please contact subs@inderscience.com.
