In This Issue

From Notes from the Editors: 

We welcome the Editorial Statement from the incoming University of North Texas (UNT) team and express our gratitude for their kindwords about our tenure and policies. We are coordinating regularly with them to insure a smooth handoff, and we want to explain to our readers (and potential contributors) how—–following the precedent of Lee Sigelman’s handoff to us—–the transition will work.

Any new paper submitted on or after 1 July of this year will go to the UNT team (and will be so routed automatically by Editorial Manager). Papers that have a received a “conditional accept” from us, and that should therefore require few changes, will continue to be handled by the UCLA editors, so long as final copy is received within two months of the handoff, i.e., by 1 September 2012. We will also continue to handle papers on which we have invited a “revise and resubmit,” so long as revisions are back to us before 1 October 2012; but any further revisions that may be required thereafter will be supervised by the UNT team. New papers submitted before 1 July will be handled by us, up until
near the end of the transition period (late September). As we found in the first months of our tenure, new editors have plenty to do just in assigning referees for the inevitable flood of new submissions, without also dealing with the “leftovers” from the previous regime.

Finally, as the UNT team notes, the masthead will change with the first issue of Volume 107 (February
2013). The UCLA team remains responsible for the remainder ofVolume 106, so “our” last issuewill be the one for November 2012, which will (we trust) include almost all articles that we already had in the “pipeline.”
