Perspectives in Publishing is a series of papers addressing generic issues in scholarly communication. The purpose of these papers is to share information with editors of Elsevier journals but will also be of interest to other parties in the scholarly publishing community.
Elsevier Editors can track the status of the papers in their journals by using OASIS for Editors. If you do not have access yet to OASIS please contact your Publishing Editor. For quick access enter your password and journal code in the menu in the left-hand navigation bar.
Sharing a Passion for Science:
In the world of scientific research the Editor's function is of great importance to the publishing process. Editors of peer-reviewed journals play a major role as coordinator of the review process that not only improves the quality of an author's paper, but also contributes to advances in science and research.
It is imperative that Editors have access to information which enables them to stay abreast of the latest developments and initiatives within both the scholarly publishing community and Elsevier. These pages provide Elsevier Editors with links to relevant and timely sources of news and information.

The Descartes prize of one million Euro has been partly awarded to the editor of New Astronomy, Professor Ed van den Heuvel, for leading a research team investigating gamma ray bursts (GRBs). The prize is shared with a Danish group researching Multiple Sclerosis. The project, solving the gamma ray burst riddle (the universe’s biggest explosions), addresses one of the greatest mysteries in modern astronomy: a GRB is the explosion of a dying heavy star that subsequently becomes a fast rotating black hole. The prize was launched in 2000 as one of the European Unions so-called Fifth Framework Programme initiatives. It aims to promote scientific and technological excellence, and to encourage the best research teams to work together across Europe.
