It gives me great pleasure to bring out the 5th issue of the International Journal of Microwave and Optical Technology (IJMOT) for the year 2008. As I had mentioned in my last message, now we have decided to publish IJMOT every alternate month. This is certainly one step forward in the direction of publishing IJMOT every month in 5 yrs time period. This has been possible due to dedicated and prompt service by our reviewers, Editorial Advisory Board Members and Associate Editors. Now we are also planning to work in the publicity area of IJMOT which we could not do so far due to several reasons. We are still continuing the experiment of allowing authors to access not only their papers but the whole issue without paying any charges for a limited duration. For this purpose they will be provided with a special log in ID and password for this limited time period. It is expected that they will keep this log in ID and password up to them only. The continuation of this experiment is heavily dependent on the funding situation for IJMOT.
I am again requesting to all the authors of the published papers to contribute the voluntary page charges as much as possible. It is absolutely necessary to maintain the above mentioned publication time line, free of charge publication/access and quality of the publications.
My special thanks to our web manager Mr. Syam Challa for his continued efforts for improving the IJMOT website and helping in the publication of every issue since last year.
