Fracture and Structural Integrity, 39 (2017); ISSN 1971-9883 VI 10 years! ear friend, ten years ago, in 2007, the IGF Ex-Co decided to publish an open access on line journal… Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale was born! Starting from a few papers per issue, many of them in italian, now Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale is a really well known international journal. Hundreds of papers with hundreds of authors from all over the world were published in the last years and the journal indexing and evaluations are absolutely of the highest level. This great result is only due to an enthusiast group of friends that served (and serves!) the journal in different roles (Associate Editors, Guest Editors, Advisory Editorial Board members, Editorial Board members, Reviewers) and to a long list of authors that in these years supported our journal with their submissions ... THANK YOU!!! In these years, we tried to do our best activating some innovative services. Among them: - Papers published both in pdf and in a browsable format; - The possibility to embed and discuss videos in the published papers; - The possibility to publish papers with audioslides embedded; In this issue, we will offer you a new service. On the top-left side of the first page of each paper, you will find an “audio” symbol. If you will select this symbol, a voice will read title, abstract, keywords and conclusions of the paper. Hoping that this new service will be useful, thank you so much for supporting us, Francesco Iacoviello F&IS Chief Editor P.S.
