A new home for Xjenza Online : editorial [Xjenza, 7(1)]

Abstract

Dear readers of Xjenza Online, as Editor, I am pleased to inform you that the release of the first issue of 2019 coincides with the launch of a brand new website for the journal, www.xjenza.org. One of my main aims since I took over the responsibility of acting as Editor-in-Chief for Xjenza Online has been to continue to increase the journal’s quality, visibility, availability and readership. The new website is not only going to achieve this, but it provides a completely new look and feel experience to all our readers, authors, expert reviewers, and members of the Editorial Board. It is not the first time when I mention the fact that the journal has evolved alongside the community it serves and has become the home to a rich and exciting scientific research. I hope that the new website will fully reflect this transformation of the journal over the years. The website also has its own manuscript submission and management system and an online article repository, thus meeting one of the indexing requirements set by internationally leading databases. Of course, this achievement would not have been possible without the assistance of the members of the Editorial Board of Xjenza Online, in general, and of Dr Sebastiano D’Amico, in particular; the hard work of the website developer, Giovanni Faraone; and, most importantly, the financial support of the Research, Innovation and Development Trust of the University of Malta.
