SALTRACE
Special Issue
We are pleased to inform you that AMT and ACP have approved our proposal for a joint Inter-Journal Special Issue about SALTRACE. As of today, manuscripts can be submitted by using the online registration forms on the ACP and AMT websites. The SALTRACE Special Issue is open until 28 February 2017. 16 Feb 2015
