JCMR EDITOR-IN-CHIEF TRANSITION

| Dudley Pennell, JCMR Editor-in Chief: 2007 - 2016 |
|
As of January 1st, Dr. Warren J. Manning has succeeded Dr. Dudley J. Pennell as Editor-in-Chief of the Society's journal, the Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (JCMR). As the transition in JCMR's leadership takes place, let us reflect a bit on the role of the outgoing and incoming Editors-in-Chief. Professor Dudley Pennell took the helm of the journal in 2007, following the previous successful and visionary term of the Founding Editor, Dr. Gerald Pohost. Dr Pennell's role at the time was to continue the fruitful increase in the journal's visibility which started in 1999 with Dr Pohost's term, who left the journal with an Impact Factor of 1.87 and around 65 manuscripts published per year.

Warren Manning, New JCMR Editor-in-Chief |
What happened in the next ten years under Dr Pennell's supervision is nothing short of extraordinary. As objective as we are in this field, the numbers speak out for his outstanding accomplishments: more than 100 manuscripts published each year, an Impact Factor that tripled to 5.75, and an Editorial Board of 87 people from all across the globe. These figures express the significant increase in the quality of the papers submitted to JCMR as well as the direction given by the Editorial Board in focusing on important review and position papers from the Society. During his tenure, the Journal publication was transferred to Biomed Central and became available as an on-line Open Access Journal. The concept of Open Access publishing was new at the time, so this transition came with its own sets of challenges and opportunities that were smoothly handled by the editorial team based in London, UK.
