Note from the publisher

Throughout 2003 Circuit World will continue to provide a central, authoritative and independent forum for the exchange of information pertaining to the printed circuit board industry. Through plans to expand the Editorial Advisory Board throughout next year, the Editor and Publisher are confident that Circuit World will continue to deliver high quality, cutting edge papers.

If you have a paper that you would like to be considered for publication in Circuit World, then please contact Dr. Martin Goosey at mgoosey@shipley.com. Martin 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 and distribution to all PCIF and ICT members. Also, your work will be further disseminated through the indexing and abstracting services covering Circuit World, including ISIs Research Alert
