EDITORIAL

It is a pleasure for us to publish issue 28 of our ''Revista Ingenierías Universidad de Medellín.''

The Journal is currently going through important challenges to meet our goals and those of our authors; we are totally committed to our editorial quality with the purpose of entering and being displayed, in a soon future, on important databases such as SCOPUS and ISI, not only to comply with requirements demanded by COLCIENCIAS measurement models, but also to place ourselves at an international level and provide contents of high scientific and editorial quality. This has demanded from us a big effort and internal changes as a way of improving the transparency of all our journal's processes and, when possible, making of them more agile processes as an attempt to meet all requirements needed to be included in such databases.

Currently, most scientific journals of the country are trying to reach the same objectives; for this reason, standards demanded to all players of the editorial process are increasingly high; this will result in better academic and scientific contents that will be more attractive and of reference for readers abroad. We thank our authors, collaborators, and readers for their support, understanding, and patience and for their permanent and endless trust in our Journal.

We hope that all 14 articles published on this issue are of your entire interest and can be an important contribution to all members of the several fields of engineering and general sciences.
