The American Chemical Society (ACS) has announced a new editor-in-chief to head the Journal of Proteome Research, a leading peer-reviewed journal in the field of proteomics. The journal publishes novel research in protein analysis and function. Dr. John R. Yates, of the Scripps Research Institute will succeed Dr. William Hancock, who led the journal from its inception in 2002 through late 2015. Dr. Jonathan Sweedler, editor-in-chief of the Society's journal Analytical Chemistry, had served in an interim editorial capacity until a successor was identified.
Yates, the Ernest W. Hahn Professor of Chemical Physiology and Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience, has contributed to significant advances in the proteomics field, most recently focusing his research on applied proteomics, protein biochemistry, mass spectrometry and informatics. He has served as an associate editor for Analytical Chemistry since 2001 and contributes his expertise to numerous journal editorial advisory boards. Yates has published more than 800 research articles and holds several patents for his innovations in proteomics and mass spectrometry.
The Journal of Proteome Research has recently expanded in scope to include the dynamic aspects of genomics, spatio-temporal proteomics, metabonomics and metabolomics, clinical and agricultural proteomics, as well as advances in methodology including bioinformatics. Delivered to researchers’ desktops and mobile devices, the online-only monthly publication received a Thomson-Reuters ISI 2014 Impact Factor of 4.245 and publishes more than 500 articles annually.
