Success of the Welding in the World journal

2015 2016

Introduced in 2012, the Welding in the World Best Paper Award is chosen annually from amongst all papers published in the six issues of the journal during the preceding year and promotes high quality research.

The entries reference the papers of all IIW Technical WUs including the IIW International Conference and Congress proceedings over many years. Full text documents are free for Member Societies and their appointed Experts and Delegates, and accessible to the public for a small administration fee. Other publications, such as keynote conference lectures and specific outstanding papers, are available as free content on the IIW website. Topics focus on the impact of welding research around the world and the publications are an excellent resource for both industry and academic researchers. Cite Score
