The main aim of electronic edition «Nanotechnologies in Construction: A Scientific Internet-Journal» Nanobuild.ru is to provide information support for the process of invention and application of science intensive technologies (mostly nanotechnological products) in construction, communal and housing services, joint areas (industry, power et al.).
To perform designed aims we follow the principle: «Maximal utility and availability of materials published in the journal».
Utility of published materials means that:
- the edition is used as efficient tool of scientific communication in educational and scientific environments;
- there is up-to-date information about nanomaterials and nanotechnologies that are already in use or yet to come to the market;
- the theoretical and practical results of researches related to the edition’s topics are presented;
- the use of illustrations that serve for better comprehension of the material;
- PDF-format is used as it is possible to view materials regardless the original software and fonts installed at computers;full information about authors is presented;
- every paper is assigned with digital object identifier (DOI);
- the paper (or information about it) is added to citation systems (data bases): Chemical Abstracts (USA), DOAJ (Sweden), EBSCO Publishing(USA), ESCI Web of Science (USA) et al.;
- there is possibility to print issue as much as it is needed for research, educational and other purposes.
The editors follow the politics of «open access» for the published materials.
According to the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) the editors consider free access to the published materials in Internet and the right of each user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search or link to the full text papers, search with indexer robot, enter them as data in software or use them for other legal purpose without financial, law or technical obstacles excluding those that regulate access to the Internet itself.
To provide maximal access to materials all issues are published at the edition’s website http://Nanobuild.ru – ARCHIEVE OF ISSUES.
Editorial Council, Editorial Board and the editorial staff second the politics aimed at observance of ethical publishing principles and recognize that keeping track of observance of ethical publishing principles is one of the main components in reviewing and publishing activities. «On the observance of publishing ethics by the editors of electronic edition «Nanotechnologies in Construction: A Scientific Internet-Journal» and the statement of prevarication absence».
The inclusion of the journal in international citation systems (data bases).
One of the important quality indicators for journal is its correspondence to international norms and as a result inclusion to international citation systems (data bases).
