ASTM to Launch Online Jourmal

John Wolz

Beginning January 1, 2004, original research findings and technical articles will be published online in the Journal of ASTM International.
�JAI is a 21st Century concept that will allow researchers to
publish their results more rapidly in a prestigious journal,� editorial director Sheldon Dean explained. �Its scope will cover the entire range of ASTM International’s technical interests. JAI will
offer all of the publication options found in other journals including
research papers, technical review papers, technical notes and discussions.�
JAI will provide rapid online publication as soon as papers are peer-reviewed and edited; the opportunity for citing by major abstracting and indexing services; a peer-review process to ensure quality content; broad online access; annual archival CD-ROMs that preserve and document all issues of JAI; and frequent publication.
The online journal provides search capabilities.
Electronic access is available for individual subscriptions via password and institutional subscriptions via IP address.
All papers will be available in PDF format and can be individually downloaded. astm.org
