It is my great pleasure to introduce the latest issue of the Scientific Journals of the Maritime University of Szczecin
number 51 (123). Taking advantage of this opportunity, I would like to share with you some news about the journal.
Scientific Journals of the Maritime University of Szczecin have set sail to wide international waters thanks to the Web
of Science Core Collection – a database in which they have been indexed since July this year.
Until 2014, articles published on the pages of the Scientific Journals of the Maritime University of Szczecin (SJ) were
indexed in bibliometric databases such as BazTech, EBSCO, Google Scholar and Index Copernicus. In recent months, the
journal has been registered in new bases (Chybowski, 2016b), which resulted from the inclusion of SJ in the Emerging
Sources Citation Index (ESCI) last October. This database is a part of the prestigious Web of Science platform (Chybowski,
2016a). A calendar of the major events related to the activities of SJ, from January 2015 is shown in Table 1.
