*Open Archaeometry *is a new, online-only, international, Open Access
peer-reviewed journal which publishes papers
about the analysis of archeological materials using analytical techniques
borrowed from the physical sciences and engineering.

PAGEPress is a division of MeditGroup (http://www.meditgroup.eu), an Italian
media company which has been developing services for the international
scientific community since 1992.
PAGEPress is now launching a range of peer-reviewed, open access scholarly
journals covering several areas of scientific information, such as medicine,
biology, zoology and now archaeology, and is creating a team of experts to
play a key editorial role.
PAGEPress firmly believes that the future for the publication of scientific
research lies in open access journals. An open access license allows
unrestricted use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the
original work is correctly and properly cited.
Open access journals allow authors to submit their papers to a thorough and
rigorous peer-review process; papers selected for publication will go
through our speedy editing system which will make their authors' research
experience available on the journal web site immediately after acceptance.
This is already creating a dynamic new approach to the spread of information
and is revolutionizing the editorial process throughout the world.
The contribution of the new Editor-in-Chief will be crucial to the
development of a unique journal style and image which will influence the way
new ideas and progress in scientific research in your field is made
available to the wider scientific community. He/she will also be responsible
for creating an Editorial Board of no fewer than 15-20 experts in the field.
Together the new Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board will review and
select manuscripts for online publication on our site.
We are confident that the quality and high ethical standards of our journals
can offer a unique service to the international scientific community.
Together we can promote scientific advancement and excellence for the
benefit of all.
If you are interested in our project, please send us a copy of your
curriculum vitae, including your study record and a brief list of your main
publications, for our internal evaluation. Our Board will be meeting in next
few weeks to select a new Editor-in-Chief.
