Editorial

Long life to "The European Physical Journal"

Abstract

We are happy to introduce you the First issue of the new "The European Physical Journal B". The journal's title differs slightly from the one previously announced because for a number of our colleagues this new name corresponds more closely to the objectives of the journal. The aim of this European initiative, which is the outcome of the merging of two well-known and more than centennial publications namely, Journal de Physique and Zeitschrift für Physik, is to make itself attractive to a large part of the European physics community, as well as to researchers world-wide. This journal covers a broad field of both theoretical and experimental condensed matter physics. It is represented in a large number of countries thanks to our team of Associate Editors working in close cooperation with the central editorial offce in order to insure fast and high quality production. EPJB will appear with two issues per month. Submission is welcome electronically as well as in paper form.
