JNTS / Special Edition 1 PUBLISHED BY THE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF ALBANIA JNTS JOURNAL OF NATURAL AND TECHNICAL SCIENCES SPECIAL EDITION 2016 (3) XXI 2 XXI / 3 / 2016 JNTS / Special Edition 3 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR The 20th anniversary of scientific publishing: a prolific scientist Dear colleagues, Welcome to the 20th anniversary of the Journal of Natural and Technical Sciences of the Albanian Academy of Sciences. The origins of the Journal lie in 1996 when some of the most eminent personalities involved in the area of natural and technical sciences, working for the institutions that were part of the Academy until 2007, met together and decided to publish a multidisciplinary journal. This innovative way of recording the Academy of Sciences‘ business in the area of natural, technical and medical sciences proved to be a model for scientific publishing, as we now know it. It provided a means of reviewing scientific discovery, recording it, and the most importantly provided a means for disseminating these findings. The celebration of this anniversary falls at a time when scientific publishing is in the midst of the revolution of electronic publishing. The journal is available on line. Our objectives are, even more than ever before, to make scientific findings, freely available to the widest audience possible, in particular to young researchers. In the third issue of the journal, we will commemorate all the publications from the archives of the Editorial Office in the fields represented in the journal: mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, informatics, mechanics etc. and their respective subdisciplines. Many difficulties have been encountered. The writing machine was used to write the first issues of the journal. The authors of the first issue are Llukan Puka, Fatmir Hoxha, Kostandin Dollani, Robert Kushe, Alqi Çullaj, Mjalinda Pere, Efigjeni Kongjika, Loreta Shameti, Spartak Bozo, Fatbardha Babani, Marenglen Spiro, Miriam Bogdani, Betim, Muço, Shyqyri Aliaj, Sulejman Xhelepi, Donard Strazimiri, Lefter Cane. In addition to the regular chronological volumes of the journal, three special issues in seismics, biology and algebra have been published. 580 papers have been written by 1330 authors, since 1996. 799 (60%) authors out of 13330 are men and 531 (40%) are women. 1160 authors (87.2%) are from Albania and 170 authors (12.8%) are from abroad: Europe, North and South America, Near East, Middle East, Far East etc., being the perfect example of mutual understanding and comprehension among nations. The 4 XXI / 3 / 2016 average number of authors per paper is 2.5. In 2014 the title of the Journal changed from Albanian Journal of Natural and Technical Sciences (AJNTS) into Journal of Natural and Technical Sciences (JNTS), in line with the recommendations of IFLA, Elsevier‘s representatives. The Editor-in-Chief expresses his gratitude to all the Editors-in-Chiefs, members of the Editiorial Board and editors and to the authors and reviewers for the efforts made while writing and reviewing the papers of outstanding scientific achievements. We are very much looking forward to working with all those who are interested in the area of scientific research, building on the outstanding achievements of the forthcoming years. Our principal aim is to make JNTS a prominent international journal, specializing in the rapid publication of innovative, high-quality research articles. It is our mission now to take the journal forward and encourage the submission of presently under- represented disciplines. As the scope of the journal is broad, we also seek to attrack submissions that relate to the issues of societal interest and development of the country such as quality of life, climate change, pollution, environment and conservation of biodiversity, water resources, health, food security etc., in support of global agendas that are seminal to natural and technical sciences comprising earth sciences, biology, molecular biotechnology, nanotechnology, chemistry, mathematics, physics engineering, medicine etc. We, as scientists work beyond frontiers of any kind to promote peace and frinedship. Consequently, support cross border collaboration in the aforementioned science areas and subsequent publications. To the old and new readers alike, thank you for your support. We welcome your papers and we aim to accommodate any wish you might have to help us further the interests of the journal and make it the premier journal concerned with all aspects of natural and technical sciences that illustrate the unifying concepts of science with evidence, either observational or theoretical from any relevant field. The history of editorial boards is in the forthcoming section reported. Acad.
