Editor-in-Chiefʹʹs Notes

With the current issue of the Polyolefins Journal in your hands the journal is entering to the third year of its biannual publication. There were many who doubted and also some who were optimistic at the time about the future of POJ in an environment where many, well established and outstanding journals in this field have existed and have been published for a very long time. However, our intention from the beginning was not to compete with other similar-minded publications but to attempt, by defining for POJ a different and particular mission, to make the journal attractive to a special group of scientific population. From the beginning, we were particularly keen to encourage the reception of submissions from early career researchers, Ph.D. students, and post-Docs, etc., but of course without forgetting to welcome the publication endeavors of senior and junior scholars from all countries of the world.
