• W2155342118 abstract "The year 2007 will be an exciting one, not only for the family of Macromolecular Journals but also for our publisher John Wiley & Sons which celebrates its 200th anniversary. When in 1807 Charles Wiley opened his small print shop in New York, it was hardly predictable that this would be the birth of one of the leading publishers worldwide in science, technology and medicine. At the beginning the company's main business was printing and publishing of law books, but the focus soon changed to publishing and book selling. Wiley continued over the years to expand into new fields and was at the beginning of the last century already established as a leading publisher in science and technology. In 1996, Wiley acquired VCH, an important scientific, technical, and professional publisher based in Germany. It was the acquisition of the Macromolecular Journals by Wiley-VCH in 1998 that made John Wiley & Sons the leading publisher in polymer science. There is no other publisher having such an amount of content to offer to the global polymer community. This unique combination of long tradition and profound experience with continuous innovations in view of the newest developments and trends in scientific research is also reflected in the development of the Macromolecular Journals. Founded back in 1943 by the later Noble Prize winner, Hermann Staudinger, as a single journal entitled “Makromolekulare Chemie” (Macromolecular Chemistry), the journal since then has grown into the successful family of Macromolecular Journals known today. The first spin-off was Macromolecular Rapid Communications, and we are very proud to present now the youngest member of the family: Macromolecular Reaction Engineering. The new sister journal will extend the scope of the Macromolecular Journals by emphasizing polymer reaction engineering as a crucial component in the development and improvement of polymeric materials. It will provide a forum for discussion and dissemination of emerging technologies and scientific advancements in the area of reaction engineering applied to polymerization reactors. We believe that the increasing interest of the research community in this field will lead to a successful and soon established journal. Whereas the story for Macromolecular Reaction Engineering is only at the beginning, Macromolecular Rapid Communications is established as the forum for fast publication of high priority research in polymer science. The journal offers a turn-around time of 1.5 months from submission to acceptance and an excellent ISI Impact Factor of 3.126. The increase in total cites by 20% in the last year and the growing number of manuscript downloads (increase by 150% in the last 4 years) clearly prove its outstanding position among the top polymer journals and the great attention that the published articles receive in the community. This success is only possible because of the interest of the community: our authors who submit their most exciting results and our readers who enjoy the articles. The number of submissions to Macromolecular Rapid Communications has nearly doubled in the last years. As the number of published articles in the same time did not change (see Figure 1), the selection had to become very strict. Some of the manuscripts are judged by the editors not to meet our criteria of quality, importance, and novelty, and thus are rejected without being sent to referees. The remaining manuscripts have to pass a very rigorous peer-review process, which leads to a total rejection rate of about 65%. Without the dedicated work of our referees this strict selection would not be possible: we are very thankful that despite growing manuscript numbers so many reviewers still invest their valuable time in order to help us maintaining the high quality of articles published in our journals. Number of published articles in Macromolecular Rapid Communications in comparison to submitted articles for 2003 to 2006 (2006: projected on basis of 10 months). The range of topics covered by Macromolecular Rapid Communications include all areas of current interest in polymer science, from polymer chemistry and physics to polymers in materials science, as you can see from the list of most downloaded articles published in the journal (Table 1). The most downloaded article discusses click chemistry as a possibility to modify polysaccharides. The ongoing interest in nanoscience is reflected by four Communications and one Feature Article from this highly active field of research: nanofibers, nanoparticles, nanohybrids and carbon nanotubes still enjoy great popularity. A monthly updated list of the most downloaded articles can now be found on the journal homepage (http://www.mrc-journal.de) and will show you the current trends in polymer science. A tradition that will be continued in the year 2007 is that a number of Special Issues will highlight the developments in various topical fields of Macromolecular science: Macromolecular Rapid Communications will dedicate issues to microwaves and polymers (guest-edited by Ulrich S. Schubert and Richard Hoogenboom), conducting polymers (guest-edited by Mario Leclerc), radiation and polymers (guest-edited by Xavier Coqueret), and block copolymers with incorporated molecular and nanoscale modifiers (guest-edited by Richard Spontak and Michael Bockstaller). Special Issues of Macromolecular Chemistry & Physics will be dedicated to polymer architecture and to branched polymers, while Special Issues on bioapplications of branched macromolecular structures, biomaterials interfacing with cells, and bioinspired materials will be published in Macromolecular Bioscience. Finally, a special issue of Macromolecular Theory & Simulations will be dedicated to the theory and modeling of polyelectrolytes. New in 2007 are two article types which will be included in Macromolecular Chemistry & Physics: Talents and Trends. Talents aim to feature novel ideas and research work of outstanding young scientists. Written by senior scientists, Trends aim to highlight important contemporary developments in all fields of polymer science. The members of our Advisory Boards support us in our task to present you the most exciting research in macromolecular science and to continue the success story. From time to time the Boards are modified in order to better reflect the various aspects of macromolecular science. We are happy to announce that the Executive Advisory Board has been expanded by four new members – we cordially welcome David L. Kaplan (Tufts University, Medford, USA), Thomas P. Russell (University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA), Anthony J. Ryan (University of Sheffield, UK), and Chi Wu (The Chinese University of Hong Kong). The journals (and especially Macromolecular Bioscience) will benefit from David Kaplan's expertise in natural biomaterials. Thomas Russell and Anthony Ryan will support us in the field of polymer physical chemistry – a scientific area which we wish to strengthen in our journals. Chi Wu, who is the first member of the Executive Advisory Board from China, has experience both in polymer synthesis and polymer physics. We are also pleased and honored that Christopher Barner-Kowollik (University of New South Wales, Australia), William J. Brittain (Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, USA), Cai-Yuan Pan (University of Science & Technology of China, Hefei), Richard Register (Princeton University, USA), John Reynolds (University of Florida, Gainesville, USA) and Daoben Zhu (Chinese Academy of Sciences, Bejing) have joined the International Advisory Board of Macromolecular Rapid Communications. Furthermore, we also welcome new members for the International Advisory Boards of Macromolecular Chemistry & Physics, Macromolecular Bioscience and of course Macromolecular Reaction Engineering. We look forward to an ongoing fruitful cooperation with our Advisory Board Members. The new year will see a lot of changes in the Macromolecular Journals, not only in contents but also in the layout (see Figure 2 for the new cover pages). When you are reading this in the print version, you will probably already have browsed through the issue and enjoyed the journal's new face. If you are reading the electronic version, you will have also noticed some of the changes and I would like to invite you to browse through the various articles to learn more about the new Macromolecular look. The new cover layout of the Macromolecular Journals. What did not change is that the Macromolecular Journals are the indispensable source for all kind of information from the area of polymer science. We would like to thank again everybody who supports us in maintaining the high-quality of the journals, authors as well as referees and our advisory board members and of course our readers for their interest in our journals. We look forward to present you also in future with the family of Macromolecular Journals the most exciting results from general to specialized macromolecular science – think Macro!" @default.
