For eleven years as Editor of Meteoritics (later Meteoritics and Planetary Science) I used the editorials to promote the journal, try to improve its usefulness to the readers, and – occasionally – try to use the insights the position was providing, especially with the benefit of a team of associate editors who I interacted with frequently, to try to improve our work and move the subject forward. In a few cases, some of these became highly quoted in the technical literature – that was never the intention. My campaigns were for high standards and making meteorite studies more relevant to the Nation’s exploration of space. We faced the challenges most societies face, too much looking inwards and too often mistaking cataloging with Science, and I was only partially successful in combating these. The journal changed its name in 1996. In that year also, a supplement was also created which would publish meeting abstracts and small articles not appropriate for a regular issue. |
