This editorial continues our tradition of an annual summary of the status of the journal. Our editorship began in the spring of 1999 with goals of publishing high-quality papers, providing authors with timely review and publication of their manuscripts, and of publishing papers of interest to our readers. We will summarize trends during the past year, some changes in the journal, and thank several people for their help.
Publication of High-Quality Papers
In an era in which each of us has enormous difficulty reading all of the important papers in our areas of interest, it is important that experts in some way advise readers which papers are novel and valid. An important mechanism in this process of advising readers is peer review, and attempts by journals to select the most novel valid papers for publication. This process is sometimes painful, because manuscripts are often judged by reviewers and editors to be valid but not of sufficient novelty to be of great interest to readers of the journal.
There is obviously no perfect tool for selection of the most novel manuscripts; reviewers and members of our editorial board advise the editors, who then discuss each manuscript. The process is important because, like discussions at groups that review grant applications, the decisions influence directions of research that are funded and published.
There also is no perfect tool for evaluation of journals, and the quality of papers published in journals. Impact factor, although it is sometimes criticized, is one measure of quality of papers. In some Universities,
