Wheat Information Service
December 79:74 (1994)


VI. Editorial Remarks

During the last year, many contributions and suggestions have been sent to the office to propose further improvement of Wheat Information Service. We should appreciate Drs. McIntosh, Hart and Gale for their continuous effort to review gene symbol catalogue which is included in the present issue for 1994 supplement. From this volume, we start to enclose the bibliographical information of recent publications on wheat genetics which are kindly provided by Cambridge Scientific Abstracts. This is followed by one of proposals from subscripting members. Some articles are printed directly from computer floppy disk or photocopy to avoid editorial error. General Tables of Contents and Author Index are, also, listed in this volume.

Among those suggestions. followings are some of important examples, which should be discussed:

1) According to the original stand-point of WIS, non-reviewed articles should be included for idea, research information, and proposal as Research Note.

2) Donation system should be introduced for financial support, because we should contribute certain payment for benefit of ourself and for further improvement of WIS, although, at the same time. we have to consider economical difficulties in certain counties. For mutual support among world-wide wheat researches, certain donation system rather than membership payment is reasonable. (It is true that raising fund is necessary to cover increasing publication and postal costs and further service)

3) Changing name of the journal world extend the reputation of WIS, like Wheat Science, Wheat Research, or Wheat Genetics, so on.

The editorial committee will welcome for your opinion.
The next issue will be published in June. 1995. The articles for strain list, information, book advertisement and announcement should be mailed not later than the end of April, 1995. Research articles are accepted anytime.
