The launch of BenSci is not only a great moment for Bentham Science Publishers but also for me, being the Editor of some of its most reputable journals. Bentham Science has a record of publishing more than 350 print and open access journals and e-Books in a number of disciplines including natural and social sciences, and technologies. Some of these have risen over the last 15 years to become the leading scientific journals in their respective fields. It is apparent that the meteoric rise of this company is because of its commitment to excellence and its priority to serve the best interests of the scientific community by providing up-to-date knowledge in cutting-edge fields using state-of-the-art technologies.

This Newsletter should provide a useful platform to the readers to present their views on topics of current interest. I wish BenSci and its Editor all the best!
