1. INTRODUCTION 

After the journal kick-off last year, much has been done to 
produce this issue: many new people were involved to process 
incoming papers and an improved software infrastructure now 
guarantees sustainability of all operations. The publication 
process has been fine-tuned and many new papers are currently 
entering the production process.  

ACTA IMEKO publishes extended papers that have been 
previously presented at workshops, congresses and symposia 
organized by IMEKO worldwide. It offers the opportunity to 
publish the outcomes of research activities, presented and 
discussed at conferences, to favour improvements. The 
amplitude of the topics treated within IMEKO, by its 24 
Technical Committees guarantees a full coverage of the subjects 
of interest in metrology and of their applications. So, if you 
happen to present your scientific work in an IMEKO 
sponsored event, consider also the possibility to access ACTA 
IMEKO as your supporting medium for the extended version 
of your paper. The open access nature of this publication will 

guarantee maximum availability of your results, looking at the 
entire scientific world as a possible stakeholder. 

As first Editor-in-chief of this scientific journal, I am very 
proud to introduce this issue, full of interesting contributions 
by scientists in the areas of Measurement of Electrical 
Quantities (TC4), Education and Training in Measurement and 
Instrumentation (TC1), Measurement Science (TC7), and 
Measurements in Biology and Medicine (TC13). Papers refer to 
two major IMEKO events that took place recently in Korea 
and Germany. Details on these symposia are provided in the 
introductions by the section editors of this issue, Ján Šaliga, 
Dušan Agrež and Gerhard Linß. 

Many people have contributed to this issue under the 
supervision of the IMEKO Vice-president for publications, 
Paul Regtien. Beyond the valuable contributions of all involved 
reviewers, in particular Francisco Alegria, Pedro Ramos, Sergio 
Rapuano and Dirk Röske did all an excellent and effective job 
in making this publication possible. Thank you to all of them. 

Keep in touch with our journal and enjoy its scientific 
content.
