I would like to introduce myself as the new Editor of Journal of Materials Chemistry. In my previous role as Deputy Editor of this journal, I have had the opportunity to meet many researchers in the field and I look forward to meeting more of the community at various conferences this year. I am also the Editor of Soft Matter and Managing Editor of Polymer Chemistry.
Seth and I are both anticipating an exciting time ahead for Journal of Materials Chemistry. Seth says “I am delighted to be working more closely with the editorial team of Journal of Materials Chemistry in my capacity as Chairman of the Editorial Board. As Chairman of the Editorial Board, my goals are to continue to improve an already excellent journal by a variety of approaches including defining some very clear standards to streamline and standardize the review process and attempting to increase the number of Communications of particularly new and exciting work.”
I would like to say thank you to both of our predecessors, Dr Jamie Humphrey and Professor George Malliaras. Let me know if you have any queries or comments about Journal of Materials Chemistry – it would be great to hear from you!
Finally, I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year!
