You Asked for It, You Got It
This month Coatings World is announcing a number of exciting changes. We pride ourselves on listening and responding to reader feedback, and we regularly commission independent readership studies by outside research firms to get unbiased feedback. In a recent readership survey, a number of participants suggested that while they are big fans of our market and business reports they would like to see Coatings World publish more technical papers. Well you asked for it, and starting in September, Coatings World will be publishing one technical paper a month. These papers will be vetted by our newly appointed technical editor and will need to meet a number of requirements. We will be posting the details on all our social media accounts in the coming weeks. Please feel free to email me with any questions.
