2006: a successful year forPhysica Scripta
Roger Wäppling · Physica Scripta · 2006
This is my first December Editorial since the start of the partnership between the Royal Swedish Academy and Institute of Physics Publishing and I am delighted to announce that the year has been a great success. We have seen a 40% increase in submissions and a substantial increase in numbers of readers. We have published many strong papers by some excellent authors including P K Shukla, J Tennyson and A Kilic. I am also pleased to report that the Physica Scripta Impact Factor increased by over 50% to 1.24. In 2007 we will be continuing our relationship and we aim to improve transparency for authors with the help of the Author Services homepage. The Topical Issue programme will continue although in a different format. While we are no longer producing CDs, subscribers will have full access to the material online via the journal homepage, which will enable increased search capabilities across the journal content. The full archive since 1970 will also be available during 2007. It only remains for me to thank all contributors, editors, referees and readers. I look forward to 2007 and another successful year for the journal. Roger Wäppling Editor-in-Chief
