Physica Scripta, an international journal for experimental and theoretical physics, has announced the appointment of Dr Suzy Lidström as the new Editor-in-Chief of the journal.
Dr Lidström is currently self-employed, working with Swedish researchers on their publications. She undertakes a range of tasks from proofreading and copy-editing through to assisting with funding applications. Dr Lidström's research and business experience makes her a natural fit to lead Physica Scripta. She also brings to the journal a tremendous enthusiasm for the public understanding of science.
Professor Wäppling will officially hand over his role to Dr Lidström in February 2012 but will continue to act as consultant to the editorial board for the next few months. Two editorials from Professor Wäppling and Dr Lidström will be published in the March and April issues of Physica Scripta.
Physica Scripta is published by the IOP on behalf of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for the Science Academies and the Physical Societies of the Nordic Countries. It is an international journal for experimental and theoretical physics comprising strong components of atomic, molecular and optical physics, plasma physics, condensed matter physics and mathematical physics. The journal publishes Comments in six different sections and maintains a programme of Topical Issues alongside the regular 12 issues.
