Hi,
Just to confuse the issue:
I got message this from Roger Wappling, editor of Physica Scripta, on Aug 1 indicating that they were in the typesetting phase and hoped to get the proceedings out in late 2004. Given the common experience of poor communication with the people in charge, I can certainly believe the 2005 estimate is more realistic.
I'm not at all sympathetic to their problem: their job is to publish work in a timely manner, and they have not done this. Communication with the editors has been terrible. I cannot understand why this journal was used instead of Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, but I think we should learn from this experience and make sure it does not happen again. Future conference proceedings should be published in an IUCr journal. The IXS charter and by-laws should be changed to state this.
Well, that's my opinion anyway.
And a valid one at that. Is anyone involved in planning the 2006 conference a regular reader of this mailing list? If so, could you give us some information about what journal will be used? Thanks, B P.S. I received an author's proof of one of my article for the X12 proceedings from Physica Scripta the other day. It wasn't the Athena/Artemis paper, however ;-( -- Bruce Ravel ----------------------------------- ravel@phys.washington.edu Code 6134, Building 3, Room 405 Naval Research Laboratory phone: (1) 202 767 2268 Washington DC 20375, USA fax: (1) 202 767 4642 NRL Synchrotron Radiation Consortium (NRL-SRC) Beamlines X11a, X11b, X23b National Synchrotron Light Source Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973 My homepage: http://feff.phys.washington.edu/~ravel EXAFS software: http://feff.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/
