Abstract:
Bruce M. Jakosky of the University of Colorado, Boulder, has been named editor of the Journal of Geophysical Research —Planets for a term extending through the end of 1998. He succeeds Clark Chapman of the Planetary Science Institute, Tucson, Ariz. The transition will begin late this summer. Jakosky's goal as editor will be to ensure the continued success of the journal as a first‐rate place to publish major new results in all aspects of planetary sciences. Noting that the planets section of the journal has only been in existence for 3 years, Jakosky attributes its success to “the value that the planetary science community places in interactions with other areas of geophysics.” AGU's planetology section and JGR —Planets are in a special place, he says, because the planetary topics overlap with the science in AGU sections and that published in other sections of JGR. “This reflects the interdisciplinary nature of planetary science and of geophysics as a whole. There must be a good relationship with the journals and scientists working in the areas of overlap, such as tectonics or solar wind interactions. The journal should ultimately reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the field.”
