Editor-in-Chief Message from the Editorial Board

Prof. Dr. Takayoshi Kobayashi
As the world of science becomes ever more specialized,
researchers may lose themselves in the deep forest of the
ever increasing number of subfields being created. This
open access journal Applied Sciences has been started
to link these subfields, so researchers can cut through
the forest and see the surrounding, or quite distant fields
and subfields to help develop his/her own research even
further with the aid of this multi-dimensional network.
