Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale, 56 (2021); International Journal of the Italian Group of Fracture

Considering Citescore, the evolution of this important parameter confirms the increase of the journal visibility in just a few year, with a 2020 perspective value that is near 2!!

It is evident that only having an active and vibrant community around the journal it is possible to obtain these results. Section Editors, Editorial Boards members, Reviewers and, first of all, Authors… it is only thanks to the help of all of you that the journal was able to achieve these amazing results. Well, just a last point… and for the future? Although we received many offers to sell the journal and, maybe, to transform it, I can guarantee that also in the future the publisher of Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale will be the Gruppo Italiano Frattura and that Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale will remain a “Diamond Open Access” journal, completely free of charge both for readers and for authors, with no Article Processing Charges (APC) at all. We only ask you to: - read the papers we will publish in the journal; - help our journal, using its papers in your references, spreading the information in the socials etc.; - suggest any possible improvement you could have in your mind; - submit new papers to be reviewed and published; - help us with the reviews (we activated an agreement with Publons in order to certify your activity as reviewer). Ciao!
