Editors-in-Chief John Licciardone and Roberto Cardarelli, have published an editorial detailing the progress of the journal to date, and looking forwards the future.
The article comments on the benefits of open access for the community, current submission to publication times and plans to bring these down to 120 days in 2008, and invites readers to post comments on published articles. The Editors also detail information on journal fund they have established to assist with payment of the article-processing charge.
