PCP in 2003: rapid reviewing and rapid publication

Introduction of Online Submission and Review System and its Current Situation 2002 has been a very exciting year for Plant and Cell Physiology.During the last fiscal year we received 367 newly submittedarticles, the largest growth ever. PCP leads the new frontier of online journals. In July 2000,PCP started as an online journal, and an online submission andreview system was introduced last May. This online submissionand review system runs smoothly and two rapid papers that weresubmitted online were published in the July issue. AlthoughPCP still

THE RICH DIVERSITY OF GENOMICS—A REPORT ON THE ‘COMPARATIVE AND FUNCTIONAL GENOMICS (BITS) WORKSHOP’, HINXTON, UK, 27–30 OCTOBER 2005 The Comparative and Functional Genomics (BITS) Workshop hasa history that in many ways reflects the changing face of moderngenomics. Started 15 years ago under the banner of ‘Identificationof the Transcribed Sequence’, the meeting was designedto bring together leading researchers from around the worldwho were pioneering new global approaches to gene discoveryin a small workshop setting. As more and more transcribed sequencesbecame known, the emphasis of the meeting, like the communityit served, focused on how to characterize the function of allthe newly acquired genes. A decision was therefore made to changeits name to ‘Beyond the Identification of the TranscribedSequence Workshop’, or BITS for short. As the years havepassed the meeting has continued to diversify and change (ashas its name), but it has continued to attract scientists tothe cutting edge of genomics research. At this year's meeting,hosted . . . [Full Text of this Article]
