Highlights of 2008

I am delighted to present a special collection of some of the best articles published in Measurement Science and Technology during 2008.

These articles were selected for their presentation of outstanding new research, valuable reviews of the field, receipt of the highest praise from our international referees, and the highest number of downloads from the journal website. All of these articles are free to read until 31 December 2009.
