Composites: Part A
Applied Science and Manufacturing


Editorial Changes:
New Editor in Chief – Professor Michael Wisnom

Elsevier is proud to announce the appointment of a new Editor-in-Chief for Composites Part A. Paul Smith has decided to step down as European Editor and Editor-in-Chief of Composites Part A (Applied Science and Manufacturing) after serving for some five and a half years in the role. Whilst we are very sorry to lose Paul, it is with great pleasure that we announce that Professor Michael Wisnom, University of Bristol, will take over as European Editor and Editor-in-Chief. This will take immediate effect.

I do hope that you will join me in welcoming Michael to the journal, and also in wishing Paul the best of luck in a new post that he has taken on as Head of the School of Engineering at the University of Surrey.
