Themed issue on bioluminescence, guest edited by Vadim Viviani
Issue honouring the scientific contributions of Professor Jakob Wirz, guest edited by Dario Bassani and Dick Pagni
Themed issues on tetrapyrrole receptors, guest edited by Mamoru Mimuro
Issue honouring Professor Nick Turro for his contribution to photoscience, guest edited by Vaidyanathan Ramamurthy
We would like to thank the guest editors of each of these themed issues for the time they dedicated to making these issues a great success.
We have also published a further two perspectives in the ‘Time-resolved methods in biophysics series’. We would like to thank the guest editors of this series, Thomas Gensch and Cristiano Viappiani, for their work on this series. A complete listing of the perspectives can be found on the Journal homepage (www.rsc.org/pps).
Building on the success of the themed issues we have a number of further issues planned for this year. The first of these will be a themed issue on ‘Photosynthesis for future energy’, which is being guest edited by Associate Editor Jon Nield, Toshi Nagata and Suleyman Alakherdiev.
We are also pleased to be publishing in this January issue the latest 2008 UNEP progress report on environmental effects of ozone depletion and its interactions with climate change.
The 2007 Thomson ISI impact factor for Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences is 2.208. The Journal maintains its position as the number one journal for photochemical and photobiological research. RSC Publishing is committed to providing a world-class publishing service and global visibility to its authors and with the number of citations increasing, immediacy and impact factors rising, it is clear to see that Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences and RSC Publishing are recognised by researchers throughout the world as a key resource to publish and read the very best research.
The impact of Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences could not be achieved without the dedication and support of the strong team of Associate Editors whom we would like to thank for their continued contribution to the Journal. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of the referees who have reviewed papers for Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences over the last year, helping to maintain the high standards of the manuscripts published in the Journal.
