Two PhDs are without Key words (13.3%), and three of them are without declared mentors (20.0%). Editorial Board does not take any responsibility either for the content, nor the quality of the abstracts. We have to mention that primary responsibility for the quality of the PhD theses belongs to the mentors, to the institutions they are representing, and to the Vice-Dean of science. All of them should be more actively involved in the preparation of Doctor of Philosophy theses in order international standards to be achieved.
