III. Editorial
Remarks
During this period, many subscribers and friends wrote valuable
suggestions to office about improvement of Wheat Information Service.
Also, some organizations like SIMMYT proposed cooperative projects to
develop world- wide reputation of this journal, especially in the
developing countries, where important genetic resources and practical
problems are unrevealed because of lack of international information
systems. Editorial office would like to express thanks for these
cooperations.
From the next issue, we are going to accept some model changes of the
journal as followed. New regulation is seen in the attached sheet,
and in detail in the next issue No. 81.
(1) Name of Journal
Some proposed changing the name of the journal to adapt for
competitive world of modem science, and some wanted to keep this
traditional title. Conclusively, we decided to
use
Wheat Information Service
with subtitle of
The International
Journal of Wheat Genetics and Breeding.
(2) Contents
As already started in this or previous issues, WIS include
Research Information,
informal
information, methods and ideas for research progress, in addition
to
Articles, which are scientific research reports with reviewing
system by authorities. Also,
List of Genetic Resources, Bibliography on
wheat research, and Review
Articles are
continuously included.
(3) Donation System
For last 5 years, WIS has been financially supported 100% by Kihara
Memorial Foundation. But this is not fare, and has some limitation.
Therefore, voluntary donation system will be introduced from next
year, in which subscribers will be asked to contribute donation about
\2000 (US$25) per year. But at the same time, we should accept the
point that there are some wheat researchers in the world who have
economical or social difficulties for payment. Donation system is
based on the idea of mutual development.
In the present issue, we are glad to have informative articles, and
several manuscripts have already been sent to reviewers. Thanks for
your cooperation.
