Title: Editorial

Dear readers,

Last year Condensed Matter Physics turned 25 and we are very obliged to you all — our contributors, readers and colleagues for your support and help during the lifespan of our journal. We are glad to report essential growth of our statistics in many aspects and happy to report the increase of our impact factor to 1.095 in 2018. This is our pleasure to list five of the most cited research papers here with the compliments to all the contributors:

• Čanová L., Strečka J., Lučivjanský T., Exact Solution of the Mixed Spin-1/2 and Spin-S Ising-Heisenberg Diamond Chain, Condens. Matter Phys., 2009, 12, No. 3, 353–368, doi:10.5488/CMP.12.3.353;
• Mason T.G., Graves S.M., Wilking J.N., Lin M.Y., Extreme Emulsification: Formation and Structure of Nanoemulsions, Condens. Matter Phys., 2006, 9, No. 1, 193–199, doi:10.5488/CMP.9.1.193;
• Ivaneyko D., Toshchevikov V., Saphiannikova M., Heinrich D., Effects of Particle Distribution on Mechanical Properties of Magneto-Sensitive Elastomers in a Homogeneous Magnetic Field, Condens. Matter Phys., 2012, 15, No. 3, 33601, doi:10.5488/CMP.15.33601;
• Shanker J., Singh B.P., Jitendra K., Analysis of Thermal Expansivity of Solids at Extreme Compression, Condens. Matter Phys., 2008, 11, No. 4, 681–686, doi:10.5488/CMP.11.4.681;
• Cabrera H., Marcano A., Castellanos Y., Absorption Coefficient of Nearly Transparent Liquids Measured Using Thermal Lens Spectrometry, Condens. Matter Phys., 2006, 9, No. 2, 385–389, doi:10.5488/CMP.9.2.385.

In forthcoming 2019 year, our editorial plan is to publish three regular issues and a Festschrift in honour of Professor Giancarlo Ruocco.

We cordially invite you to submit your research work and, for your convenience, we have a flexible format of three types of publications: regular contribution, brief communication and a review paper. Publication is performed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC-BY) license as an Open Access media with no fees involved. Submission is done online via the Open Journal System, which enables one to simplify the communication routine and trace the stage of the publication. More details can be found online on our webpage http://www.icmp.lviv.ua/journal/.

With the best wishes of success and a fruitful year 2019,
Your Condens. Matter Phys. team.
