There are exciting developments at the AJNR. Our journal has a new managing editor, Karen Halm, who has enjoyed a long career in publishing. She is a photojournalism graduate of Northern Illinois University, where she also earned a Master of Arts in journalism. Karen holds 2 certificates from the University of Chicago Publishing Program. Previously, she was the managing editor of the Journal of Emergency Nursing and the editor of Journal of Property Management. Her experience is extensive and spans the creative aspects of design and editorial direction to manuscript development and copyediting. We are most fortunate that she accepted our offer and are certain that AJNR will benefit significantly from her talents.

Most journals undergo periodic revisions in design to appear fresh, keep pace with improvements in journalistic style, and manage publication costs. Our latest changes involve implementation of a new AJNR typeface called Minion (9.5 point) that improves readability and enables more characters to be set per line. Other changes that you may discern include a reduction in reference type size, expansion of the page grid with a narrower center gutter, and slight enlargement of the column width. Articles will begin at the very top of the page with text wrapping around figures to avoid blank space at the sides of uneven arrays. We will provide tabs to cue the reader to topics and similar types of articles. The net effect of these modifications will be a more contemporary look with a flexible layout and improved navigation while enabling the publication of more articles per year by using fewer pages.

We have had some changes in senior editors: with Bob Quencer and Bill Ball stepping down and the volume of submissions doubling, we have expanded our roster. Bill Dillon and Charlie Strother will continue in their positions as senior editors for head and neck and interventional neuroradiology, respectively. In addition we have recruited 4 new senior editors: Mauricio Castillo, Harry Cloft, Jeffrey Ross, and Pamela Schaefer.

Mauricio Castillo, MD, FACR, is professor of radiology and chief and program director for neuroradiology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. He is a graduate of University of San Carlos School of Medicine, Guatemala, and was a resident in radiology at the University of Miami. Mauricio was previously a deputy editor of the AJNR (1995–1997) and has many interests in neuroradiology, including pediatrics.

Harry Cloft, MD, PhD, is a graduate of Wayne State University School of Medicine. He was a resident in radiology at the University of Michigan and a fellow in diagnostic and interventional neuroradiology at the University of Virginia. He is currently associate professor of radiology at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, with a focus on interventional neuroradiology.

Jeffrey Ross, MD, is professor of radiology and section head of radiology research at the Cleveland Clinic, Lerner College of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University. He received his MD from the Medical College of Ohio at Toledo. He was a radiology resident and neuroradiology fellow at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. His research interests are focused on the spine and spinal column.

Pamela Schaefer, MD, is associate professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School and clinical director of MR imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital. She is a graduate of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and trained in diagnostic radiology and neuroradiology at the Massachusetts General Hospital. Her interests are in general neuroradiology.

As editor-in-chief I hope to continue the strong traditions of scientific journalism, an editorial heritage that includes Juan Taveras, Michael Huckman, and Bob Quencer. We will try to provide a forum for discussion of pertinent and controversial issues. We wish to be advocates for neuroradiology and embrace the needs of the practitioner while publishing the highest-quality science. We will endeavor to encourage more review articles, which will include both technical and disease-specific subjects. Commentaries on particularly important manuscripts will be solicited from experts in the field. Case reports will still be accepted, but on a very limited basis. The AJNR is a most dynamic periodical. It is hoped that alterations to the AJNR improve its vitality while maintaining the high quality that our readers have enjoyed through the years. We aspire to grow the legacy.
