| Dr. Katsuhiko Ariga, National Institute for Materials Science, Japan
"This journal covers a broad area of materials science and technology, and allows facile and free access to journal contents. Recent rapid development in materials science and technology could be monitored using only this publication style, which cannot be accomplished by other traditional material journals."
Dr. Ariga, a principal investigator of World Premier International (WPI) Research Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA), NIMS, has been working on supramolecular chemistry particularly the area related to self-assembly processes, ultrathin films and molecular recognitions during his research studies at Tokyo Inst. Tech., Univ. Texas, JST, Nara Inst. Sci. Tech., and NIMS. In particular, his pioneering research studies of layer-layer supramolecular assembly have been highly evaluated. He is also recognized as an authority in supramolecular recognition at interfaces. The citation of all his research studies has exceeded 5000 times (March, 2008). Currently, his research team is interested in frontier topics on supramolecular materials through an entire bottom-up process.

"Science and Technology of Advanced Materials is an interdisciplinary journal that covers a wide range of materials-related topics. It generates a link between a basic understanding of the fundamental aspects of advanced materials and the use of this knowledge for their production and application. It combines its history as a publisher-handled journal with an existing impact factor on one side and a new open-access approach with waived page charges, reflecting that the high scientific and technological content of a submission is the only aspect that counts."

| Dr. Shunichi Hishita, National Institute for Materials Science, Japan
"STAM aims to provide an international forum to access the forefront of materials science, which is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field. The open-access publication model of STAM will make it possible for all interested readers to obtain information on current developments in the field of materials science."
Dr. Hishita optained his Ph.D. in Ceramic Science in March 1983, from the Graduate School of Tokyo University. I started my career as an assistant professor of Tokyo University in April 1983. In April 1986, I moved to the National Institute for Research in Inorganic Materials, formerly, the Institute of NIMS. I was a visiting scientist at Ecole Nationale Superieure de Ceramique Industrielle, France from 1988 to 1989, and a collaborative scientist at Electrotechnical Laboratory, Japan from 1994 to 1996. My recent research studies are on the epitaxial growth of thin oxide films and surface science of oxides.

| Dr. Toshiyuki Mori, National Institute for Materials Science, Japan
"STAM focuses on materials science. Moreover, STAM is aiming to be the first open access journal in the field of materials science."
Dr. Mori is a deputy managing director of the Fuel Cell Materials Center of NIMS. He is also the current head of the nano-ionics materials group. His group is developing electrolytes and electrode materials on the basis of microanalysis (e.g., TEM-EELS, EDPS, and SR-XPS) results. They are interested in determining the relationship between the nano-inhomogeneity and physical properties of fuel cell materials. They believe that a good combination of ultimate analysis and processing route design will provide them with a big opportunity to maximize the potential of fuel cell materials.
