Acta Physica Slovaca
is an internationally recognised
physics journal originally established in 1950.
Since 1998 listed in Current Contents.
Editorial Board: • Vladimír Bužek (Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, Slovakia), • Jaroslav Fabian (University Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany), • Marcel Franz (University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada), • Ivan Horváth (University of Kentucky, Lexington, USA), • Ivan Štich (Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, Slovakia) Technical Editor: Andrej Gendiar Editorial [Acta Physica Slovaca 56, No.4 (2006)] Within the last ten years scientific publishing has changed dramatically. Most papers appear in electronic form (e.g. on www.arxiv.org) and are publicly available. Dissemination of information is fast (some times too fast) and efficient. However, authors are under great stress to publish their work fast in order to survive tough competition. In addition, to be promoted within the academic environment scientists have to have ``impressive'' (i.e. long) list of publications. Given these factors it frequently happens that in scientific publishing readers are ``forgotten''. Therefore we would like to put our journal back in the service of our readers. We want to offer them papers that are accessible, reliable, and informative. In order to meet these goals the publisher of the journal Acta Physica Slovaca has decided to change its editorial policy. While each volume will still contain six issues (i.e. the journal will continue to be published bimonthly), starting from the present issue each issue of the journal will contain just a single article - preferably a review with a touch of a tutorial style. We want these articles to be accessible to our most precious readers - students and young researchers. We hope that you will profit from the upcoming changes and will enjoy reading our journal.
