Participants of the 36th International Symposium on Combustion attend the farewell reception on 5 August 2016.

The Combustion Institute is pleased to announce fourteen Distinguished Papers, one from each represented colloquium, have been selected from the many scientific papers presented at the 36th International Symposium on Combustion in Seoul, Korea. In the interest of promoting excellence in combustion science, Elsevier will provide free promotional access to the Distinguished Papers during the month of February.

Distinguished Papers will now be evaluated by the Silver Combustion Medal Committee. An outstanding paper that exemplifies quality, achievement, and significance to advance a field of combustion science will be selected to receive the Silver Combustion Medal. Announcement of that honor will be made at the 37th Symposium in Dublin, Ireland in 2018.

Please join The Combustion Institute in congratulating the following authors on their selected Distinguished Papers:

Distinguished Papers will be published in Volume 36 of the Proceedings of The Combustion Institute. Editors, Alison Tomlin and Volker Sick, and the team of Associate Editors, have completed the editorial handling of all papers. The production aspects of the issue are in progress and will be concluded shortly. Shipment is expected by late February.

Orders for print volumes of PROCI can still be placed. Verified members of a CI Section who did not place an advanced order may contact CI with their name, billing address, and shipping address. Elsevier will then provide a member discount on a print volume. The 2016/2017 rates are: US$430.00 for electronic only and US$716.00 for print and electronic.
