Note from the publisher

Throughout 2003 the International Journal of Clothing Science and Technology (IJCST) will continue to facilitate the development of clothing technology through the publication of quality papers. Through plans to expand the Editorial Advisory Board throughout next year, the Editor and Publisher are confident that IJCST will continue to deliver high quality, cutting edge papers with clear practical implications.

If you have a paper that you would like to be considered for publication in IJCST, then please contact Professor George Stylios at g.stylios@hw.ac.uk. George will be pleased to hear from you if you have a state of the art technical paper, a research paper, a case study or a review article that you would like publishing.

As an author, you can be sure that your work will be widely disseminated due to the international exposure to leading industrial and academic institutions via the Emerald database. Also, your work will be further disseminated through the indexing and abstracting services covering IJCST, including “Apparel Digest” and “World Textiles”.

Electronic usage of IJCST has continued to increase for the period June 2001 to May 2002.
