Dr. B.K.Parekh, Senior Research Engineer with the University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research, has assumed the Editor-in-Chief position for the Coal Preparation journal starting January 2007. For the last four years, Prof. Gerald Luttrrell of VPI was the Editor-in-Chief of the journal and under his leadership the journal flourished significantly. The original founder of the Journal was Prof. Janusz Laskowski of the University of British Columbia. The journal is published quarterly and deals with articles related to the basic science, industrial applications and review articles in the Coal Preparation area. B.K.’s main objective is to maintain the established reputation of the journal and increase its circulation, especially in foreign countries. China and Australia, despite being major producers and users of coal, have only one subscription each. B.K. would welcome your input and suggestions in improving the quality and status of the journal. For more information please contact B.K. at 859-257-0239 or parekh@caer.uky.edu.
