I am delighted to be taking over from Bill Davies as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Experimental Botany from 1 January 2007. During Bill's ten-year stewardship, the journal has consistently been listed within the top six plant science journals publishing primary research papers and its impact factor has steadily increased. It has become well known for its publication of highly cited Special Issues and Perspective Articles and the assembly of topical papers into themed Treatise in Experimental Botany (TEXBOT) editions for teaching and research. Bill has been keenly interested in the revolutionary changes that have taken place in publishing over the last ten years with the development of electronic means of disseminating information and he has encouraged JXB to embrace actively these new developments. Indeed, JXB was the first plant science journal to offer authors the opportunity to publish their papers under Open Access and this experiment has played a major role in informing recent debate on the subject. It has been an exciting ten years with Bill at the helm of JXB and my job will be to maintain the momentum that he has established and to explore new opportunities for the journal over the coming years. With this in mind, I will be making some important announcements about new developments in the journal over the coming months.
