Welcome Back – Again

uddenly, it is five years since we relaunched the International Nonwovens Journal – time does fly! There have certainly been some changes over these five years – we believe for the better: • The publication frequency doubled to four times a year. • INJ moved to an exclusively electronic publication format, allowing the liberal use of color in each issue. • Subscriptions were dropped, making INJ access free to anyone around the world. Along the way, the INJ Mission was developed with the help of the INDA Technical Advisory Board: To publish the best peer reviewed research journal with broad appeal to the global nonwovens community that stimulates and fosters the advancement of nonwoven technology. One thing that has not changed - the editors are constantly looking for input and suggestions – we continue to look forward to hearing from you. Our purposes have remained relatively constant, so, we felt that it would be a good idea to re-examine these purposes as laid out in our first editorial – with pertinent portions copied below. Again, if you have any thoughts, let us hear from you. — INJ
