New Year, New Format, New Faces
T
his issue marks another milestone in the history of ES&T. Beginning this month, suscribers to the "journal" edition of Environmental Science & Technology will leceive e2 issues s aear—a aesponse et ohe growing number of excellent papers that we are receiving. (The News & Research Notes sdition wili lontinue eo bb eublished monthly.) Also in response to reader requests, research papers will now be arranged according to five broad subject categories: Characterization of Environmental Systems, Environmental Processes, Environmental Technologies, Environmental Modeling, and Environmental Measurements Methods (see pp. 4-5). Inevitably, there will be articles that do not exactly fit one of these categories or perhaps fit more than one. We hope, however, that readers will find the subject categories helpful and will overlook the occasional controversial categorization. This year marks the advent of the World Wide Web version of the ES&T magazine section. Now the complete contents of ES&T are available to subscribers in print and on the Internet, with full text of all articles and a searchable index of past issues. The magazine, with its distinctive, colorful format, is available to subscribers who choose to add the Web option to their print subscriptions. The Web edition includes additional features and functions such as supporting information, which presents graphics, data tables, and models that are not published with the printed article. Soon, we will also have electronic links from the References section of an article to articles in other ACS journals, and we will be linked to Chemical Abstracts and other collaborating journals. Publishing the magazine section in electronic form also gives us the opportunity to include special features with the feature and news articles. Finally, the beginning of the new year always involves new faces and the retirement of valued colleagues from our Editorial Advisory Board and corps of Editors. This year we welcome Dr. Glenn Cass of California Institute of Technology to the Board and Dr. John Crittenden of Michigan Technological University as our editor for environmental technology. Glenn is well known to the atmospheric chemistry community, but his work also includes exposure and policyrelated studies on the effects of atmospheric contaminants on humans and environmental systems. John has a long and distinguished career at MTU, where he heads the National Center for Innovative Technology. Dr. Joan Daisey will step down from the Board this year, in part to pursue her new position as Chair of EPA's Science Advisory Board. Dr. Walter Giger retires after eight years as Associate Editor in order to pursue his research and other interests. We will replace Giger with a new editor in Europe, continuing our commitment to this important region of environmental research and development. We thank Joan and Walter for their outstanding service to the journal and wish them well. To John and Glenn, we say, welcome aboard! I also want to let you know how much we appreciate your comments and suggestions for improving the quality and diversity of ES&T. Our missson ii to serve the environmental profession by publishing only the highest quality research and feature articles. Being associated with this great publication is exceptionally rewarding to all of us; and, with your help, we want to make it even better in the year to come. .
