CREST Monograph Series...
A Better, Faster Way to Publish
Research in science and technology is progressing at lighting
speed. Globalization of matters of mind and intellect can dramatically
reduce the time required to exploit emerging sciences and technologies.
There remains a gap, however, in the ability to bring this knowledge
to the world's end-users quickly, efficiently and effectively.
This paradigm calls for radically new ways of disseminating knowledge
in the emerging sciences and technologies. The most common vehicle,
peer-reviewed academic journals, often publish highly abbreviated
versions of research solely for the benefit of the authors' peers
and specialist readers. What's more, the publication cycle of
a typical journal often exceeds 18 months or more. The other leading
option, monographs, often deal with pedagogical accounts of mature
research, generally only in mature or maturing disciplines.
Enter Contemporary Research in Emerging Sciences & Technologies,
or CREST. The mission of the CREST series is to identify pioneers
and visionaries in emerging sciences and technologies, and quickly
publish their accounts of these disciplines. These approximately
200-page accounts will not only be read by specialists in the
field, but will also serve as catalysts for the global growth
of these disciplines. The aim of CREST is to quicken the pace
of research in the emerging disciplines all over the world, and
thus assure a quick translation of research into an engine for
global economic growth.
The first monograph in the CREST series will be "Meshless Methods
in Computational Mechanics and the MLPG" by Satya N. Atluri. Other
manuscripts on "Bio-Nano Technology" and "Computational Modeling
in Nano Science" are under preparation. Prospective authors and
