Archives of Materials Science and Engineering Vol. 49 (1)

In 2007�the International OCSCO World Press�as a publishing unit of the WAMME Academy took the efforts of publishing a new journal -�Archives of Materials Science and Engineering�as a monthly under which the scientific patronage took the Committee of Materials Science of the Polish Academy of Science last year. The journal achieved a very attractive graphic form, a multicolour print and a new format, analogical to the JAMME ones. It also inherited from Archives of Materials Science the subsequent numbering � Volume 28. Ca. 355 authors from 20 countries published 121 full-text and reviewed papers which because of their form were qualified as 8-10-page research ones (27 papers), 6-8-page (25 papers) and 4-page short (69 papers) ones in the AMSE during 2007. Those papers occupy over 768 pages. It is a huge scientific output and also huge editorial and organisational efforts. After a year of experiences on the basis of the agreement between the Chairman of Division IV Technical Sciences of the Polish Academy of Science, Prof. Wladyslaw Wlosinski, and the President of the Word Academy of Materials and Manufacturing Engineering AMME, Prof. Leszek A .Dobrzanski, since 1st�January 2008 the WAMME Academy took the only scientific patronage under that journal which achieved the high level and editorial and organisational efficiency last year. It was decided that the numbering which has been used so far will be continued. The Editorial Team of AMSE decided that since 2008 six volumes will be published yearly, each including 2 Issues � analogically as in a case of the Journal JAMME. At the same time the makeup of the International Editorial Board Members of the AMSE was veryfied since March 2008.�
