Ed it orial Growing Up This issue marks the beginning of the fifth year of Chemical Research in Toxicology, and with the Editor’s indulgence, I’m writing this editorial. The past four years have been a period of tremendous growth, and the coming years promise to be the same. I have been with the Journal since its inception, and in a way, I view it as one of my children. I’ve watched Chemical Research in Toxicology go through infancy and, with this issue, feel the same as I did when my son started kindergarten-the baby is growing UP. In addition to the growing pains, I suppose I’ve suffered the same worries parents do-will my child be accepted by others, grow, and develop? Certainly, our child is being accepted by others. This acceptance has been demonstrated by the adoption of Chemical Research in Toxicology by abstracting services, the most recent being Index Medicus this past year, and by our increasing number of readers. Our child is also growing and developing. We’re experiencing more submissions and publishing more pages. We are continuing to fine tune our goals; and we’re always looking for ways to improve. Like any child, Chemical Research in Toxicology would not have been able to grow and develop (and continue to do so) without the guidance and support of family. The staff a t the American Chemical Society, authors, reviewers, readers, and the Editors and Advisory Board members have all contributed significantly to our growth and development; thank you for past, present, and future support. With a family like this, Chemical Research in Toxicology cannot help but do well. I’m looking forward to the coming year. I’m expecting Chemical Research in Toxicology to continue to develop and am proud to be a part of the development. I want to say goodbye to the following Advisory Board members: Peter B. Farmer, Ryuichi Kato, Thomas Krugh, Daniel Mansuy, Gerald T. Miwa, Sten Orrenius, Gregory A. Petsko, Donald J. Reed, and Takashi Sugimura. Thank you for your guidance and support. I also want to welcome the following Board members who are joining our family: Jean Cadet, Maria Almira Correia, Catherine C. Fenselau, William H. Glaze, Stephen S. Hecht, Gerald M. Holder, Brian Ketterer, Bea Singer, Charles V. Smith, Jack P. Uetrecht, and Nico P. E. Vermeulen. Welcome; I look forward to working with you. Finally, to the authors, reviewers, readers, and anyone I may have missed, thank you for your continued support. I hope you share in my pride in the way Chemical Research in Toxicology has developed so far. We’ve come a long way and I expect great things for the future. The child is no longer a baby: it’s growing up. Celeste M. Riley Editorial Assistant
