IET Journals welcomes two new Editors-in-Chief
8 March 2012
We are pleased to announce the appointment of Professor James Lam of Hong Kong University as the Editor-in-Chief of the IET Control Theory & Applications and Professor Majid Mirmehdi, University of Bristol, as the Editor-in-Chief of the IET Computer Vision.
Prior to joining the University of Hong Kong in 1993, Professor Lam was lecturer at the City University of Hong Kong and the University of Melbourne. His research interests include model reduction, robust control and filtering of dynamic systems, networked control systems, vibration control, and biological networks.
A key objective for Professor Lam will be to continue development of the IET Control Theory & Applications as a key international journal, and a platform for promotion and dissemination of forefront knowledge and high-quality scholarly research pertinent to control systems, especially in the new and emerging research areas.
Professor Mirmehdi is currently a Professor of Computer Vision at the University of Bristol, and his areas of interest include natural scene analysis and medical imaging.
Professor Mirmehdi’s principle aim is to increase the standing and visibility of the IET Computer Vision journal in the Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition community. He will work closely with the Editorial Board and publishing team to further develop the journal.
Kruna Vukmirovic, Journal Development Editor at the IET, said: “We are excited to have Professor Lam and Professor Mirmehdi at the helm of the IET Control Theory & Applications and the IET Computer Vision, respectively. I look forward to working with them as we develop these journals and strengthen our commitment to publication and dissemination of high-quality research.”

Wageningen Academic Publishers acquires ‘Comparative Exercise Physiology’
16 February 2012, Wageningen
Wageningen Academic Publishers is pleased to announce the acquisition of ‘Comparative Exercise Physiology’. This international journal of exercise physiology, biomechanics and nutrition was previously published by Cambridge University Press. The journal will be published by Wageningen Academic Publishers starting in 2012 with Volume 8. The journal transfer will ensure further growth and continued delivery of high-quality content to the exercise physiology community.
Mike Jacobs, Managing Director at Wageningen Academic Publishers, said, “We are delighted to add ‘Comparative Exercise Physiology’ to our portfolio. It ties in nicely with the equine titles that we have published for years. It is our aim to use our experience in this topic and our personal approach to re-launch the journal. Together with our motivated editors we look forward to expanding the journal’s reach and readership.”
In the new setting Dr. David Marlin, David Marlin Consulting Ltd., United Kingdom and Prof. Kenneth Harrington McKeever, Department of Animal Sciences, State University of New Jersey, USA are the editors-in-chief. Both editors were already involved with 'Comparative Exercise Physiology' before the transition.
Being asked for his opinion on the journal transfer, David Marlin replied “The acquisition by Wageningen Academic Publishers is an exciting development in the the life of ‘Comparative Exercise Physiology’ and both Ken and I are impressed by WAP’s plans to take the journal forward to build upon the excellent start established by Cambridge University Press. The cultivation of excellence in the publication of new and exciting scientific information on athletic animals will continue at WAP with a goal to eventually achieve Pubmed listing and obtaining an ISI rating.”

ALPSP is 40!
ALPSP is 40 years old in 2012 and I don’t think we’re looking too bad for it!
ALPSP started life as a collaboration of 24 learned and professional societies. The initial press release stated that the Association's aims were:
ALPSP started life as a collaboration of 24 learned and professional societies. The initial press release stated that the Association's aims were:
- to promote and develop the publishing activities of the member societies in disseminating information to their members and to others;
- to provide facilities for the exchange of publishing knowhow; and
- to represent the collective views of member societies in discussions with other publishing organisations, with Government Departments and agencies, and with organisations such as the Post Office.
I’m sure we have very little issues with the Post Office these days, given the on-going shift from print to digital and the numerous mailing channels that have developed in the last 40 years! I think we have done (and continue to do) a pretty good job. I’d be really interested to hear your views on the progress publishing has made in the past 40 years, but perhaps more importantly, to hear how you think the future looks. Comments welcome!
