OPINIONS
This article is the first, we hope, of many written by experts in the Pyrotechnic and Explosives sectors to highlight issues of the day and to stimulate discussion both within the pages of the Journal and elsewhere.
Opinions are just that – they represent views by their respective authors which are not reporting of scientific findings, but nonetheless have a place in the pyrotechnic literature. Opinions will be peer reviewed, as are all articles in the Journal, and authors will, we hope, take account of comments from the Board and reviewers before publication. However the subjects discussed and the opinions expressed remain with the respective authors and may not reflect the positions of the Journal of Pyrotechnics, its Board or other contributors.
If you have a topic for consideration in future issues, please contact the Publisher directly.
OPINIONS will be free to download – but you do need to register on the site
