The preparation of the next, eighth issue of the Al’manac of Modern Metrology coincided with an important event — the first class of the scientific and educational center of FSUE “VNIIFTRI”. The Main Metrological Center of the State Service for Time and Frequency (GMTs GSVCh VNIIFTRI) organized this class within the framework of the advanced training of metrology staff. This is emphasized in the Preface to the issue. The first lesson was devoted to the measurement of time, frequency and determination of the Earth’s rotation parameters — the main and the most relevant research area, which is widely demanded for many sectors of the economy, including transport, aviation, space complexes, science, etc.

While focusing on improving the level of metrological support for priority areas of science, engineering, and technology, the seventh issue of the Al’manac gives considerable attention to fundamental research and to the search for new solutions in metrological research.
These important areas primarily include time and frequency measurements and coordinate and navigational measurements, to which the bulk of this issue is devoted, and also neutron measurements.

The articles in the sixth issue of the Al’manac of Modern Metrolgy deal with the topic of physicochemical measurements and address important issues of metrological support for these measurements in the interest of the national economy. The articles are based on the concepts, results of investigations, and conclusions from the papers presented at the all-Russian scientific-technical conference “Metrology of physicochemical measurements” held in Mendeleevo in October 2015 and organized by Rosstandart, VNIIFTRI and ZAO Innovatsionnye technologii “Test-Pribor”. The conference papers were recommended for publication as articles in the Al’manac of Modern Metrolgy.
