We have been issuing our journal for almost three years. Now it seems a right time to summarize some results. They are positive in general, but with some reservations. The Journal has a fair number of readers. It has increased to 200–250 persons per month. It is a very good result for a specialized scientific journal. Still, the circle of readers continues to grow. The number of contributors is also increasing. During the three years that the journal exists, we have published over 70 papers dealing with various theoretical and practical aspects of inhibitory protection of metals. However, the number of publications might have been about 15% larger. Some manuscripts have been rejected by our reviewers. Let us analyze them in more detail. In most cases, manuscripts are rejected for the same reason: they contain calculations of metal surface coverage by an inhibitor based on data on inhibitor protective effects (Z). Why should this not be done without a special justification or at least assumptions? The answers to this questions have been given more than half a century ago and unfortunately have been forgotten by many researchers. We feel it appropriate to remind the readers about some concepts of the theory of inhibitor action. In the manuscripts that we had to reject, the values of surface coverage by an inhibitor () were calculated from so-called kinetic data, i.e., in essence, they were identified with the degrees of protection:
