FSCT announces major changes to its research journal
The Federation of Societies for Coatings Technology (FSCT) has announced that it has entered into a new publishing partnership with the Oil & Colour Chemists' Association (OCCA) and Springer ScienceþBusiness Media LLC (Springer) to expand the content and delivery of FSCT's research journal. Beginning in January 2007, the Journal of Coatings Technology and Research (JCTR) will be published quarterly by Springer. The publication will be jointly owned by the FSCT and OCCA and will continue to be provided to the members of both organizations as a benefit of membership.
The Journal of Coatings Technology and Research is a quarterly forum for the exchange of original research, experience, knowledge, and ideas for those with a professional interest in the science, technology, and manufacture of functional, protective, and decorative coatings including, but not limited to, paints, inks, and related coatings and their raw materials.
Starting in 2007, JCTR will also incorporate papers from OCCA's existing research journal, Surface Coatings International Part B: Coatings Transactions, thereby increasing the total number of papers published in JCTR. The Editor-in-Chief is Dr Ray A. Dickie, who has been leading JCTR successfully for the last ten years.
Springer will publish the Journal of Coatings Technology and Research in both print and electronic formats. It will be available via SpringerLink, Springer's online information platform, and will include Online Firste a feature where articles are published online before they appear in print. In addition, all potential authors have the option, via the Springer Open Choice program, of publishing their articles using the open access publishing model once they have been accepted for publication.
