- W2079461880 abstract "Dear Readers, Despite all ongoing and occasionally controversial discussions, the data of the ISI journal citation reports are an important measure of a journal's success. Therefore, we are proud that Macromolecular Theory & Simulations (MTS) in 2007 has enjoyed a significantly increased Immediacy Index of 0.582, ranking it #4 among all journals publishing original results in polymer science and documenting the fast dissemination of the published research in the scientific community. The journal's reputation remains high as confirmed in many responses from our authors, referees and Board Members who consider MTS to be the leading journal on polymer theory and simulation. Also the sister journals of MTS within the family of Macromolecular Journals celebrated a successful year 2007. To name only a few highlights, Macromolecular Rapid Communications with a new Impact Factor of 3.164 continues to be one of the highest-ranking journals in polymer science, Macromolecular Chemistry & Physics successfully published a series of ‘Talents’ and ‘Trends’, and Macromolecular Bioscience (IF 2.521) is ranked 2nd among the biomaterials journals. Furthermore, Macromolecular Materials & Engineering enjoys its highest IF ever (1.498), and our newest journal Macromolecular Reaction Engineering has completed its first year with a continuously increasing popularity in the polymer reaction engineering community, and it has been accepted by the ISI Web of Science already in November 2007. An overview of the scientific topics presently covered by Macromolecular Theory & Simulations is represented by the tag cloud in Figure 1 that visualizes the topics of articles published in 2007. This analysis of ‘hot topics’ can be also made by considering the individual articles that attracted the highest attention of our readers: Table 1 shows the broad variety of topics of those articles that were most often downloaded in 2007 from our online platform Wiley InterScience. Tag cloud for Macromolecular Theory & Simulations in 2007 (larger font signals more frequent use of a keyword). Chongli Zhong et al.1 Masayoshi Okubo et al.2 Dimitris S. Achilias3 Ica Manas-Zloczower et al.4 Honglai Liu et al.5 Christopher Barner-Kowollik et al.6 Kurt Binder et al.7 Patrice Castignolles et al.8 Hidetaka Tobita et al.9 Massimo Morbidelli et al.10 Especially the format of ‘Feature Articles’ appears to be very appealing to authors and readers alike, allowing the combination of new research results with a critical, but not too exhaustive review of the development in the scientific field relevant for the contribution. The articles published so far have resulted in a well-received series of publications on topics in the focus of present interest of the scientific community, written by leading researchers in the respective fields. This series will be continued in 2008, and additional suggestions of authors and topics to the Editors are always welcome. According articles typically are written upon invitation, although unsolicited submissions will be considered as well. Of course, also invited articles are strictly peer-reviewed before an editorial decision on their acceptance is made. A list of all Feature Articles and Reviews published in the Macromolecular Journals and our sister journal Plasma Processes & Polymers can be found on the journal's homepage together with other interesting and helpful services, for example: a monthly updated list of most accessed articles or RSS feeds of the news and recent journal content. Additional editorial measures to corroborate the positive development of Macromolecular Theory & Simulations include a further reduction of publication times by having all articles published online - and, therefore, being citable - in the journal's Early View section ca. 6 weeks after acceptance. At the same time, the quality of published articles is guaranteed by a very strict peer-reviewing process; only editorially pre-selected manuscripts (with respect to quality, novelty, importance and relevance to our readership) are sent to the referees, while the overall rejection rate of submitted contributions is well above 30%. The average time from submission to first editorial decision could be further reduced to ca. 5 weeks. The continuously growing interest of the scientific community in the published content of MTS is documented in Figure 2 by the increasing number of article downloads. The development of article downloads (relative numbers) for Macromolecular Theory & Simulations. To reflect the newest developments in the field, the International Advisory Board of MTS is adjusted regularly, and we are glad that several leading scientists in their disciplines have accepted the invitation to join the Board: Christopher Barner-Kowollik (University of New South Wales, Australia), Andrei V. Zvelindovsky (University of Central Lancashire, UK), Masayoshi Okubo (Kobe University, Japan), and Jan Genzer (North Carolina State University Raleigh, USA). We look forward to the continued and combined efforts of the Editors and Board Members to ensure a further successful development of Macromolecular Theory & Simulations. At the same time, the Board memberships of Jean-Francois Joanny (Institut Curie, Paris, France) and Wayne L. Mattice (University of Akron, USA) have come to an end; please join us in thanking them for their contribution to the journal's success over the last years. We would like to especially mention A. Dieter Schlüter (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) who decided to step down from his long-time position on the Executive Advisory Board of the Macromolecular Journals and now focuses his future activities on our journals Macromolecular Chemistry & Physics and Macromolecular Rapid Communications by joining the according editorial boards. He has been an invaluable supporter and always outspoken advisor of our journals, and we are very happy to continue this inspiring cooperation. Further activities of the Macromolecular Journals in 2008 will include a monthly published News Section ‘Materials Views’ (available in print and online) that is not restricted to polymer science but will update our readers also on the newest developments in the entire field of materials science, several special issues of MTS's sisters journals (to give some examples: an issue of Macromolecular Rapid Communications on Click Chemistry, and an issue of Macromolecular Bioscience on Molecular Assemblies as Biomimetic Systems), and many more. Just have a look at our journals and their homepages to always stay up-to-date! Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to all our authors, referees, and board members without whose support and encouragement the ongoing successful development of Macromolecular Theory & Simulations would not have been possible.
