EDITORIAL End of an Era In the past, several of the journals published by the American Chemical Society, including this one, have used the services of a centralized Manuscript Office at ACS headquarters in Washington, DC, to assist their editors in the peer review process. Certainly, one of the most visible functions of the Manuscript Office has been its communications linkage with authors and reviewers on behalf of the editors. Over the past several years there has been a gradual transfer of these duties from the Manuscript Office to the offices of the editors of selected journals. The Manuscript Office is now being permanently closed, and, as a result, all of the functions that it previously provided will be assumed by staff in the offices of the editors of Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. Therefore, from this point forward authors should submit their manuscripts directly to the editor at the following address: Dr. Donald R. Paul, Editor Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research Department of Chemical Engineering (C0400) The University of Texas at Austin Austin, TX 78712-1062 For Express Mail delivery add: 26th Street and Speedway Telephone number: 512-471-7722 Manuscripts will be assigned to the appropriate member of the editorial team and future correspondence by the author should be directed to that editor. Likewise, all communications with reviewers will be through the office of the editor to whom the manuscript has been assigned. On behalf of all the editors, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff of the Manuscript Office for their tireless efforts and dedication to excellence in execution of the peer review process. It is our hope that the transition to this new mode of operation can be made smoothly and efficiently.
