International Journal of Metalcasting Receives Thomson Reuters Accreditation |
The quarterly technical journal of the American Foundry Society (AFS), the International Journal of Metalcasting (IJMC), has been given the distinct honor of being accredited by Thomson Reuters, a world renowned information source. In addition to being accepted as an accredited source of technical information, the IJMC now is included in the Thomson Reuters research and citation database.
The database provides a platform for finding scholarly peer-reviewed materials–materials that are unbiased, current and accurate, and achieve a level of quality not reached by solely searching the internet. It also is used to evaluate the scientific performance of authors.
“The IJMC continues to strive to be the global leader in transfer and dissemination of research and technology for the global metalcasting industry,” said Tom Prucha, AFS vice president of technical services. “It also is important that our authors have the best platform to present their work and that our readers are being presented the best information available. That is why we will continue to pursue the widest coverage for our product. Being selected for database indexing is a testament to the quality of the journal, our editorial review board and our contributing authors.”
In addition to Reuters, the IJMC also is included in three other databases: Chemical Abstracts, ProQuest and EBSCO. These links can be found by visiting http://www.metalcastingjournal.com/.
