Editorial
Dramatic changes in Carcinogenesis have occurred in 2003. Carcinogenesis is now fully online from the submission of manuscripts—with the review process taking an average of 28 days to decision—to online publication within a fortnight of acceptance. Carcinogenesis is now the 5th most cited cancer journal publishing primary peer-reviewed scientific reports, with an impact factor of 5.4. In addition, the journal has no page or processing fees to authors and color photographs can be published for free online. We anticipate that the scientific community will value this combination of:
- rapid review and online publication;
- high quality peer-reviewed reports (in the sections Cancer Biology, Carcinogenesis, Chemoprevention and Molecular Epidemiology);
- the impressive continual increase in impact factor; and
- no page charges.
Significant changes have also occurred in the editorial staff of the journal. Robert Brown has completed his self-imposed tenure as Executive Editor. His sound judgement and fair-minded approach have significantly contributed to the increasing quality and recognition of the journal. Additional Editors have been added to fill this gap: Dr Roger Reddel, Cancer Biology; Dr Manuel Serrano, Carcinogenesis; and Dr Chung S.Yang, Chemoprevention. I will continue as Executive Editor and also be Editor of the Molecular Epidemiology section. Drs Karen Vousden, Antony Braithwaite, Paolo Vineis, Maria Blasco, Zigang Dong and Setsuo Hirohashi will be joining the Editorial Board for 3-year tenures. We thank Drs Peter Karran, Petra Boukamp, Alfredo Fusco, Terry Van Dyke, Ze'ev A.Ronai and Hideki Mori who are rotating off the Board, and the many reviewers, who strive to improve the quality of submitted manuscripts.
Carcinogenesis is one in the family of diverse journals published by Oxford University Press (OUP), a department of Oxford University. Mandy Hill, Head of Scientific and Medical Journals, OUP, directs the excellent staff supporting Carcinogenesis including Elizabeth Green, Sue Bell, Gregory Mucklow and Charlotte Capanni. OUP is committed to maximising the dissemination of Carcinogenesis, which is now available online through subscriptions and consortia agreements in institutes in approximately 50 countries, with online subscriptions being free to not-for-profit institutions in another 67 developing countries (over 700 institutes have already registered for free access through this initiative). There are regularly over 50 000 full text downloads each month, showing the increasing use of journals online and the accessibility of Carcinogenesis.
Carcinogenesis presents two biannual awards to distinguished scientists who have been nominated by their peers and selected by a committee of the Editorial Board. The Anthony Dipple Carcinogenesis Award for a senior investigator, named after the founding co-editor of the journal, and the Carcinogenesis Young Investigator Award will be announced in the July issue of Carcinogenesis and the awardees will receive this honor and present their lectures at the Annual Meeting of the European Association of Cancer Research in Innsbruck, July 3–5, 2004.
