From The Editor

[摘要] I've been on the job for just under half a year, and my experiences have so far been eye-opening, challenging, at times frustrating, yet always rewarding. My respect for the editors who preceded me has grown, and I can only hope to earn the same respect from my successors. My charge, which I will steadfastly pursue, is to continue to publish the best journal possible. Success in that endeavor will be realized, however, only through the participation and contributions of the full membership. The volunteer effort of the associate editors is the backbone of the journal, but nothing happens without timely and thoughtful input from reviewers. I encourage everyone to assist the associate editors by accepting requests to review papers and giving your best efforts to provide constructive but critical evaluation, because without the authors and reviewers, we cannot have a journal that will continue to meet the growing demands of our science.
