Letter from the Editor
Dear reader
Welcome to the LAMKpub open access publishing platform of the Lahti University of Applied Sciences.
The aim of the platform is to improve the quality, openness and transparency of the publications of Lahti UAS. The objective of the Education and Culture Ministry’s Open Science and Research Project (ATT) is that by the year 2017, Finland will become one of the leading countries in the transparency of science and research and their utilization. The reliability of science and research as well as their societal and social impact should also increase. Lahti UAS is strongly committed to these objectives. This is why we decided to reform the journals of Lahti UAS by creating a new open access publishing platform to host our two new online journals, LAMK Pro and LAMK RDI Journal.
Lahti UAS focuses on teaching, RDI and publishing through four specific areas: design, smart industry, well-being and regenerative growth, and clean and dynamic environment. By publishing high quality open access articles LAMKpub will increase the visibility of the research conducted at Lahti UAS. By popularizing regional research we hope to encourage decision makers, entrepreneurs and citizens to become familiar with Lahti UAS’ research and utilize its results. This in turn will help improve the competitiveness of both the Lahti area and the Päijät-Häme region in general.
LAMKpub’s journals will publish versatile articles based on the work conducted at Lahti UAS, sharing the expertise of our staff and students alike. We will also pilot new ways of publishing. We look forward to sharing our expertise and research with you. Please feel free to give us feedback on this new platform.
