Nevertheless, as the Editor of the I & E C PROCESS DESIGN AND D E -

VELOPMENT quarterly pointed out in a recent editorial, our habits need to be reviewed occasionally and to be changed when clarity for the reader and ease of composition for the author can be improved. I & E C FUNDAMENTALS now joins its two sister quarterlies in adopting a new plan. Beginning this year, we shall follow a practice which is similar to that used by another ACS journal, Biochemistry, and by several other journals which publish primarily research papers. References will be indicated in the text by citing the surname of the first author and the year of the publication. Then an unnumbered, alphabetical list of all references will be included a t the end of the paper. In most instances, a reader will be able immediately to determine the source of reference material as he reads without turning to the end of the paper; the author who needs to insert or delete references in his manuscript as he prepares it will find it easier to avoid mistakes. Detailed instructions may be found inside the back cover of this issue, where a revised Guide for Authors appears. Authors of papers to be submitted henceforth should adopt the new style immediately; papers already submitted need not be rewritten. Although there will be some mixing of the two reference systems in the next few issues of this journal, the new style will gradually come into full use in a way which should minimize inconvenience for authors. We hope that the new style will be favored both by users and by contributors. Your criticism a n d suggestions will be welcomed as you develop working knowledge of the new system.
