Xjenza Online is a peer-reviewed, free open access international journal that published research articles, original re­search reports, reviews, short communications and scientific commentaries in all fields of science. The journal not only provides a dedicated forum for publishing high-quality research articles in all areas of science in Malta but also provides a training platform on scientific publishing for a wide range of potential authors, including students and young researchers, in a peer-reviewed environment.

This is the first issue to be produced under direction of the journal’s new editor-in-chief, Prof. Cristiana Sebu, and the editorial board. Prof. Sebu succeeded Prof. Giuseppe Di Giovanni, who revived the journal in 2013 and was its editor-in-chief for five years, steadily improving its quality and standards. Previous editors were Prof. Angela Xuereb and Prof. Joseph Grima.

The Malta Chamber of Scientists is a learned society representative of scientists from all disciplines and socio-economic sectors. Membership may be obtained in mms.org.mt.
