Abstract

Beginning with this issue Microscopy and Microanalysis will be published by the Cambridge University Press in New York. The high-quality production standards established by our former publisher, Springer-Verlag, will be maintained and improved over the coming years. Major changes you may notice are the increased number of pages for scientific articles and the decreased cost of subscriptions for institutional libraries and for members of affiliated societies. An indication of the quality and reputation of the journal is shown by our favorable Impact Factor ranking from the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). In 1999, ISI ranked Microscopy and Microanalysis the number four microscopy journal in the world. The journal is affiliated with eleven microscopy and microanalysis societies around the world making it truly an international communications vehicle. In fact, Microscopy and Microanalysis has the largest paid circulation of any microscopy journal in the world. On behalf of the Editors and the Editorial Board, I thank the authors, reviewers, advertisers, and readers for supporting this journal during its formative years. I look forward to your continuing support.
