Session L31: APS Editorial Q & A

APS Editorial Q\&A

Following a brief ``State of the Journals''; address by APS Editor in Chief, Gene Sprouse, moderated questions and comments will be invited. Editors from Physical Review A, B, E, Focus, and Letters, Reviews of Modern Physics, and Physics (http://physics.aps.org/) will also be on hand to provide responses. Topics for discussion might include: possible enhancements of both content and delivery, implications of open access, APS copyright, impact factors, growth in submissions, efficiency of the selection process, the quality of published articles, Outstanding Referees, or PRL's recent reinvigoration of its standards. The editors look forward to a productive exchange.
