STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, recently named Dr. Fred Phillips as Senior Editor of Technological Forecasting & Social Change (TFSC). Published continuously since 1967, TFSC publishes peer-reviewed advances in technology assessment, forecasting, and policy.
In his new position, Phillips will cooperate with TFSC founding editor Harold Linstone in transferring journal management duties as Dr. Linstone nears retirement. Phillips has been Associate Editor of TFSC since 1999, and a member of the journal's editorial advisory board since 1996.
With a print subscriber base of a thousand libraries and professionals, and many more readers accessing individual articles via ScienceDirect.com, TFSC is read and quoted by policy makers worldwide. Submissions to the journal, now originating equally from Europe, Asia and the Americas, have risen sixty percent over the past two years. A comparative author survey in 2006 rated the journal above average in all categories. This includes refereeing speed, reputation, refereeing standard, impact factor, production speed, editor/board, publication services, and physical quality.
