Planning
Acs MEMBERS max* h a v e noticed in o n e of the t w o xear-end comm-iimic a t i o n s from t h e E x e c u t i v e Secretary that a n e w journal—the Jotanntcl «PT Chemical ami Engineering Data* is to b e a d d e d t o t h e Society's alne.ad\ e x t e n s i v e publication program. W e stronizlx u n i e each m e m b e r t o c o n s i d e r seriously getting a personal subscription. Its success in a large m e a s u r e d e p e n d s on the total subscription revenue recen ed_ T h e n e w journal is t h e outgrowth of the Chemical and ^n^necriTjc Data Series started three years ago in an eflort to relieve t h e o x m ms* pressure o n industrial and Engineering Chemistry, a n d at t h e s-ame time, to o p e n a n e w logical m e d i u m for dissemination of ÎWTI brouc t y p e s of reference papers. T h e first includes articles consisting primarily of data dhfcarâiic! t h r o u g h k n o w n c o n c e p t s or b y kno\\ii m e t h o d s or extension* of saactb data: phase equilibria, molecular transport, therm odx-namics. The s e c o n d embraces those articles which list physical properties a* «emxiis in t h e m s e l v e s , or as aids to other studies or evaluation: phy^dcal properties, evaluation of c o m p o u n d s and materials. This present s c o p e and p o l i c y must b e thought of as flexible. T h e journal should W feiaâlh to fit the c h a n g i n g n e e d s a n d desires of a large segment of irese-amcSa chemists and research chemical engineers. T h e n e w journal will appear quarterly, e a c h issue -will run afeonatt 100 p a g e s . M o r e frequent issuance may be necessarx later. Iff ^VQID b e e d i t e d by 1ÙEC editor. W i l l H. Shearon. Jr. λΥ \Tbcrt V o y e s . Jir_ e d i t o r of J ACS a n d J PC, will be associate editor. It i> -expected akit* the e x p a n d e d scope of the n e w journal will include certain yxatpers first s u b m i t t e d to the fundamental journals. Subscription pri serve this continued growth. T h e s e n e e d s a n d the problems they involxe are being studied fey JL d e v o t e d g r o u p of volunteer workers serving on the Board a n d CoxinmxcaD publications c o m m i t t e e s , also b y those in administrative posts .and ii*h.ose s e r v i n g o n t h e various adxisory boards. Progress m a y s e e m disappointingly slow to many. In tfeese d a y s (ce h i g h production costs, each n e w publishing x e n t u r e is a major gamMe.. N o t t o o m a n y can b e undertaken at once without risking t h e i a t e IGS aM t h e established journals. T h e situation n o w is far m o r e encouraging than it w a s 15 years ag»cfc. A l t h o u g h publishing has alxvays b e e n a major ACS activity, in iiSa-ese d a y s , for some unexplainable reason, publication programs ireceâvedî scant attention from t h e Board and t h e C o u n c i l Fortunately' tikis 5s no l o n g e r true; long-range planning n o w is xvel] under w a y and rebates are b e c o m i n g tangible.
