As Particle Enters its Third Year
As we embark on a new year, it seems appropriate to pause and assess how the journal Particle & Particle Systems Characterization (hereafter referred to as Particle) has grown since its launch as a multidisciplinary, materials-science-focused journal at the start of 2013. From the outset, we intended to cover a broad spectrum of topics in the journal, ranging from the synthesis and characterization of particles to the application of these particles in areas such as biomedicine, catalysis, environmental science, micro/nano-electromechanical applications, micro/nano-fluidics, molecular electronics, photonics, sensing, and other areas. A quick look at the word cloud (Figure 1) generated from the keywords of all articles published in 2013 and 2014 shows that we are accomplishing our initial aim of producing a multidisciplinary journal that serves various communities. Naturally, after two years of submissions to the journal we were curious to see the origin of the manuscripts that we publish. In Figure 2, we present an overview of publications per region. While citations to published papers are by no means the only measure to assess the impact of work, they can provide some indication as to the importance and urgency of the results presented in a particular field of research—assuming that authors cite work that is of high relevance to their own ongoing research endeavours. At this point, it is worth reminding readers that in order for the references to Particle to be correctly recorded (for example, in CrossRef, Pubmed, or ISI Web of Knowledge), the correct Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index (CASSI) abbreviation—Part. Part. Syst. Charact.—must be used for citations. Deviations of this standard abbreviation result in incorrect bibliographic information, making it more difficult for our readers/your fellow researchers to discover your published work. Table 1 provides a list of the highest cited articles published in 2013. We are pleased with the range of topics presented, which, judging by the level of manuscript submissions to the journal and the positive feedback we receive when talking to researchers, appeals to the journal's broad readership. In the relatively short history of Particle, we have benefited greatly from the support of our Editorial Advisory Board and Executive Board members and the broader academic community. Through a number of collaborations, we have to date published three special issues (Figure 3) on Remotely Controlled Colloids, Interfaces, and Biosystems (guest editors: Gleb Sukhorukov, Igor Luzinov, and Sergiy Minko), The Basque Country regional special issue (guest editor: Luis M. Liz-Marzán), and Particles for Healthcare Applications (guest editors: Bin Liu, Xiaohu Gao, and Lanry Lin Yue Yung). One milestone of note for Particle and one of its sister journals, Advanced Optical Materials (also published first issue in Jan. 2013) was the attainment of the journal's first immediacy index, which was announced in July 2014. The immediacy index for Particle is 0.805 and that for Advanced Optical Materials is 0.867. The Immediacy Index—calculated each year by Thomson Reuters ISI—is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. It indicates the topicality and urgency of work published in a scientific journal. These are excellent results that reflect the high-quality of work published in the first year of both journals. Particle and Advanced Optical Materials will obtain their first partial impact factors in June 2015. Other journals in the Advanced Materials journal family are shown in Figure 4. Our newest additions, Advanced Science and Advanced Electronic Materials, are now open for submissions. A concise overview of all the journals in the Advanced Materials family (such as journal scope, editorial board members, editorial contact details, keywords, and sample published articles) can be found here: http://www.wiley-vch.de/journals/booklets/AMjournalfamily/. In conclusion, we would like most sincerely to thank: our editorial advisory board and executive board members to whom we are indebted for their continued support; our ever-expanding database of referees, who give their time to provide their expert opinion on work, enabling us to publish manuscripts of the highest standard; and last but by no means least to our authors, who entrust their best work to our journal. The editorial team is looking forward to a continued collaboration as the journal grows in the coming years. To be alerted of articles as soon as they are published, you can follow the Early View section on our Wiley Online Library homepage (www.particle-journal.com) and/or follow us on Twitter.
Read more11th International GeoRaman Conference
GeoRaman is an international conference where researchers gather to discuss the application of Raman spectroscopy in the fields of geological, planetary, and archaeological sciences. Historically, the first GeoRaman conference was held in Paris (France) in 1986, and then continued there for some time. After a stint in France, the conference then moved to Valladolid (Spain) in 1999, and then took a wide international journey to Prague (Czech Republic) in 2002, to Hawaii (USA) in 2004, to Almunecar (Spain) in 2006, to Gent (Belgium) in 2008, to Sydney (Australia) in 2010, and then back to Nancy (France) in 2012. For the first time, this conference was held in the continental United States, in St. Louis, Missouri, from 15 to 19 of June 2014. Researchers from over 18 countries attended. GeoRaman XI in St. Louis focused on two major aspects of Raman spectroscopy: (1) the most advanced technologies and instrumentation, from laboratories to a wide variety of field applications, e.g. industrial and security monitoring, geo-fields, deep ocean, and on other planets and (2) the newest applications in studying inorganic, organic, and bio-genetic materials in Earth Sciences, Planetary Sciences, Environmental Science, Forensic Science, Archaeology and Archaeometry, Gemology, and Astrobiology. This special issue of the Journal of Raman spectroscopy dedicated to the 11th International GeoRaman Conference has 31 papers covering areas such as Planetary Science, Astrobiology, Mineralogy and Petrology, Biomineralization, Fluid Inclusions, Archaeology and Archaeometry, and Environmental Science. Several of the papers in this special issue are related to the application of Raman spectroscopy as an instrument for planetary exploration. Wei et al.1 report the first rover test of a Raman spectrometer specifically developed for mission flights, the Mars Micro-beam Raman Spectrometer in the Atacama Desert (Chile). In this work, they discovered γ-anhydrite, which is typically an unstable mineral, in large quantities in the soils of the Atacama Desert. Lui and Wang2 shed light on the dehydration of Na-jarosite, ferricopiapite, and rhomboclase to understand their formation and presence as ferric sulfates on Mars. This paper can be found here http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1002/jrs.4655/asset/jrs4655.pdf. Uriarte et al.3 work on collecting reference spectra of CaCl2.nH2O (n = 0, 2, 4, 6) to enable the geochemical community to identify these key minerals in important fluid geochemical processes here on Earth and Mars. Wang et al.4 provide the first systematic Raman spectroscopic study of phyllosilicates of planetary science importance for the characterization of such materials on the surface of Mars. Bathgate et al.5 identify by Raman spectroscopy primary and secondary minerals of volcanic rock weathering and alteration as a database for upcoming future exploration of Mars. This special issue contains a number of papers detailing the application of Raman spectroscopy to detect chemical traces of life on Mars. Fernandes et al.6 elucidate the pigment chemistry of three lichens of astrobiological relevance. They report the first identification of parietin in these lichens, which this pigment is effective in protecting the organism from free radicals and ultraviolet radiation. The paper can be found here http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1002/jrs.4626/asset/jrs4626.pdf Hooijschuur et al.7 investigate the effects of photodegradation of carotenoids within bacterial cell membranes and calcite. They report that carotenoids residing in the bacterial membranes were less sensitive to photodegradation than the mineral matrix. Harris et al.8 investigated several terrestrial Mars analogue samples to point out a cautionary tale to the astrobiology community potential for confusion in interpreting Raman spectra acquired from these types of samples. Foucher et al.9 demonstrates the potential of Raman mapping of the distribution and change in intensity ratio of the D and G bands arising from carbonaceous material as a biosignature to help identify potential fossilized microbes here in early Earth rocks and Mars. Several of the papers in this special issue are on the application of Raman spectroscopy to problems in mineralogy and petrology. Korsakov et al.10 undertook Confocal two-dimensional and three-dimensional Raman imaging of the Kokchetav metamorphic diamonds from different rock types which these results showed that those various diamonds had different crystal quality with complex internal morphologies associated with defects. The paper by Bartholomew et al.11 investigates the potential of Raman spectroscopy as the number one instrument for mineral identification in the Geosciences. They quantify the range of Raman intensities that can be expected from natural mineral samples and investigate the incorporation of this information into instrument standards and analytical methodology to design data collection strategies across Geoscience laboratories. Carey et al.12 apply machine learning techniques in order to improve mineral identification obtained by Raman spectroscopy. Golovin et al.13 show that the carbonate mineral zemkorite is not likely stable at the Earth's surface but will transform into the more stable polymorph nyerereite at these P-T conditions. Gomez-Nubla et al.14 characterized impact glass formed by meteorite impacts. They show that a substantial degree of post-impact terrestrial weathering can occur in these materials, which needs to be taken under consideration. Frost et al.15 use vibrational spectroscopy to characterize the mineral tangdanite and show that this mineral contains arsenate and sulfate polyhedra. Jehlicka and Vandenabeele16 evaluate portable Raman instruments to investigate the best excitation wavelength in collection of spectra from zeolite and beryllium containing silicate minerals. This work recommends using the portable NIR 785 nm system for the collection of better quality spectra on these materials. Cathelineau et al.17 use Raman spectroscopy to better understand the crystal structure of the economically important Ni-ore talc-like mineral phases, revealing that Raman spectroscopy can quickly evaluate the Ni content in these important economic minerals. Burlet and Vandrabant18 shed light on the structure of economically important manganese oxide minerals lithiophorite and asbolane that are typically difficult to characterize by traditional X-ray diffraction. Lopez and Frost19 shed light on the mineral responsible for the coloration of black marble from a quarry in Chillagoe, North Queensland, Australia. Petriglieri et al.20 use Raman mapping to identify small-scale changes in serpentine mineralogy to enable a greater understanding of the serpentinization process. Moroz et al.21 delineate the best wavelength of laser excitation to collect fluorescence free spectra on thermally immature carbonaceous materials. They clearly demonstrate that the laser excitation wavelength at 325 nm yields the best quality spectra that can be collected from these materials. This was a new session organized at GeoRaman, and while we only have one paper for the special issue, this field is opening up for the application of Raman spectroscopy and should grow enormously in the near future. Bioapatite, a carbonated, hydroxylated calcium phosphate salt, undergoes phase changes during heating. However, these changes are somewhat unclear; Li et al.22 elucidated these thermal transformations using Raman spectroscopy to study various heated material. They observed that the mineral undergoes de-carbonation and recrystallization at relatively low temperatures. This special issue contains a number of papers on fluid inclusions, which have contributed greatly to our understanding of measuring salinity and gaseous phases. Caumon et al.23 shed light on the role of mineral birefringence and on the polarization properties of the O–H stretching band of liquid water for determining the salinity of aqueous fluid inclusions. Tarantola and Caumon24 revealed that salinity measurements in fluid inclusions were overestimated by 1% per 10–15 MPa of negative pressure, thus allowing a way forward to determine the salinity of metastable fluid inclusions by Raman spectroscopy. Li and Chou25 analyze silicate melt inclusions in quartz from granites within pegmatite deposits by Raman spectroscopy revealing for the first time the occurrence of H2 in the vapor phase of the inclusion. Chou26 calibrated the Raman shifts of cyclohexane with the goal of using this calibration to accurately determine the ν1 CH4 band position to calculate CH4 densities in fluid inclusions. Several papers in this special issue are devoted to Archaeology and Archaeometry. Barone et al.27 obtain Raman spectra using portable instruments on an archaeologically significant jewelry museum collection dated to the 17th–18th centuries in order to verify previous identification of the gems in the collection made by conservators. Cianchetta et al.28 used Raman spectroscopy to investigate the process used in the red and black coloring of Athenian pottery. They showed for the first time that these ancient materials were produced using at least two separate firings. Coccato et al.29 investigate carbon black pigments in works of art to elucidate the various sources and origins of different carbons used as artwork color pigments. Rousaki et al.30 analyzed the pigment composition of hunter-gathered archaeological samples from Northern Patagonia. Their work demonstrates these ancient people used clay-like materials rather than the usual hematite as a pigment agent. Belgodere et al.31 determine diffusion coefficients of dissolved carbon dioxide in varying salinities to predict the transport of dissolved gases in sedimentary sequences for mitigation of green house gas emissions. The 31 papers in this special issue dedicated to the 11th International GeoRaman Conference have expanded our understanding in a diverse range of fields. For example, the interaction of geological fluids and their measurement, elucidation of biological activity in recent and ancient environments here on Earth, astrobiological prospecting for life on Mars, thermal transformation of biologically precipitated minerals, mineral stability at the surface of the Earth, structure of economically important minerals, Raman spectroscopy as major tool for mineral identification, and pigment chemistry used in art and cultural artifacts. Given the enthusiasm and quest for knowledge in the GeoRaman community, together with the development of new Raman techniques, the future GeoRaman conferences should continue to generate exciting new research in the Earth Sciences. I would like to thank all the delegates, presenters, and conference assistants (providing great help in the background), the local organizing committee, the international science advisory committee, and Washington University in St. Louis for a wonderful venue. I am extremely grateful to the following companies and institutions that supported this conference: Washington University in St. Louis, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, McDonnell Center for Space Sciences, Universities Space Research Association, Lunar and Planetary Institute, Renishaw, WiTec, ThermoFisher Scientific, Andor, Bruker, BWTEK, GemLab Group, Horiba Scientific, Kaiser Optical System, Inc., Ondax, RPMC, SciAps, and R. H. Minerals. Special thanks to the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, Dr Larry Nafie, for making this special issue possible, and of course, to all the authors and reviewers of the manuscripts for their invaluable contribution. It was a pleasure and honor to serve as the guest editor for this diverse collection of papers, and I am looking forward to seeing you at the next GeoRaman conference in Novosibirsk, Russia in 2016!

Guest editor’s introduction: History of racial and ethnic minority psychology.
Michigan State UniversityBeginning with an observation about the neglect of the historyof racial and ethnic minority psychology in our mainstream pub-lications, this Guest Editors Introduction to the special issuemoves on to provide a overview of the contributors and their foci.The special issue consists of seven lead articles covering AfricanAmericans, American Indians, Asian Americans, Native Hawai-ians, Hispanic Americans, the American Psychological Associa-tion (APA) Minority Fellowship Program, and the APA Division45. Commentary articles are provided by two pioneers in the fieldand an historian. A rationale for the special issue, as well assuggestions for its use, is also provided.Any cursory review of the leading books about the history ofAmerican psychology will reveal that there has been little or nocoverage regarding the history of racial and ethnic minority psy-chology. Although it is true that the history of this special subfieldof psychology is somewhat shorter than that of mainstream Amer-ican psychology, there have also been important and significantdevelopments in the subfield during the last 56 decades. In orderto take advantage of the success of Cultural Diversity and EthnicMinority Psychology (CDEMP ) as the premier journal coveringissues related to racial and ethnic minority psychology, a specialissue focused on the History of Racial and Ethnic Minority Psy-chology was proposed and accepted.The purpose of the special issue is to provide a snapshot of thehistory and development of racial and ethnic minority psychologyin the United States. It will also attempt to link these historicaldescriptions to possible future developments in the field.Although some of this history has already been published indifferent outlets, much of this literature is scattered and oftendifficult to locate [e.g., Leong wrote a monograph on History ofAsian American Psychology for the Asian American Psychologi-cal Association (AAPA) in 1993, but this monograph is not widelycirculated nor readily available]. Therefore, this special issue willprovide a current and systematic treatment of the topic withinCDEMP , which will be readily available for future generations ofpsychologists.The major goal of the special issue is to document some of themajor accomplishments and challenges faced by racial/ethnic mi-nority psychology from an historical perspective (i.e., past 5060years). The historical review covered by the special issue wouldprovide important lessons for psychology and for historians whoseek to analyze the development of this subfield of psychology. Assuch, this special issue should be of interest to scholars andscientists, as well as students of history and of racial and ethnicminority psychology.In order to provide a scholarly overview of the history of racialand ethnic minority psychology, some of the leading scholars inthe field were invited to prepare an article covering the significantpeople, events, and associations related to their specific racial andethnic minority groups. This resulted in four articles covering thefour major racial and ethnic minority groups, namely AfricanAmericans, American Indians, Asian Americans, and HispanicAmericans. There has been a tendency for the federal government,through it various departments and agencies, to lump Hawaiiansand Pacific Islanders in with Asian Americans for the sake ofconvenience, even though these groups share little in commonexcept their location in the Pacific Ocean. To counter this difficult-to-justify classification, a separate article on the history of NativeHawaiian psychology was included. In addition, the special issuewill also provide an historical overview to two other importantdevelopments in the history of racial and ethnic minority psychol-ogy, namely the APA Minority Fellowship Program and the APASociety for the Psychological Study of Ethnic Minority Issues,Division 45.The article on African American psychology was written by Dr.Bertha Holliday, Senior Director of APA Office of Ethnic Minor-ity Affairs who had authored the History chapter in the Handbookof Racial and Ethnic Minority Psychology (Bernal, Trimble, Bur-lew & Leong, 2003). The article about American Indian psychol-ogy was prepared by Dr. Joseph Trimble, Professor of Psychologyat Western Washington University and Past President of APADivision 45. Professor Trimble, a leading Native American psy-chologist was assisted by Dr. Mary Clearing-Sky, Odama mother,grandmother, and clinical psychologist who practices in FortMeade, South Dakota. Dr. Clearing-Sky is only one of a handful ofNative American clinical psychologists.The article on Asian American psychology was written by Dr.Frederick Leong, Professor of Psychology at Michigan State Uni-versityandPastPresidentofboththeAAPAandtheAPADivision45. He had authored the History monograph for AAPA which wasreproduced in the CD format in his Digital History Project for theAssociation. Dr. Sumie Okazaki, Associate Professor Psychologyat New York University, coauthored this article with Dr. Leongand both of them also prepared the History chapter in the Hand-book of Asian American Psychology (Leong, Inman, Ebreo, Yang,Kinoshita, & Fu, 2007) with E. J. R. David. The Hispanic Amer-ican article was authored by Dr. Amado Padilla, Professor ofEducation at Stanford University and one of the leading pioneersin Hispanic American issues in Psychology and Founder andEditorofthe HispanicJournalofBehavioralSciences.

The politics and policy of science and technology: Past and future
The Review of Policy Research (RPR) is a long-existing and traditional journal of policy research and part of the journal family published under the aegis of the Policy Studies Organization (PSO) and in cooperation with Wiley. Originally given the name “Policy Studies Review” and as a sister journal of the Policy Studies Journal, which currently is the policy process journal with the highest impact factor, the RPR developed its own standing and profile. While generally being concerned with the politics and policy of science and technology, the recently published articles address the most pressing topics of our time. The July issue includes important articles on climate change leadership (Glasgow et al., 2021), innovation policy in China (Feng & Jiang, 2021), technology transfer and the use of digital technologies to boost productivity local policy networks (Möck, 2021), and digitalization in health care (Bogumil-Uçan & Klenk, 2021). With this editorial introduction, we are more than happy to announce that effective July 1, 2021, we are the new editorial team of this outstanding journal. Because of the great and effortful work of our predecessors, Nita Farahany, Tim Profeta, Kenneth Rogerson, and Sarah Rispin Sedlak, which we could not be more thankful for, we are able to take over a journal that is at the top of the academic community. Our deepest and most sincere thanks for making this transition so smooth and uncomplicated, and for your stellar past work! The current issue still is the result of the excellent work of this previous editorial team. All articles have been managed by them, and it is awesome to see what great compilation of articles it is that constitutes this issue. We are pleased to stay in contact with the previous editors, especially by having Ken on (editorial) board. In the months to come, we will continue to broaden the editorial board and to extend it to so far underrepresented regions. To those who are already on it: Thank you for supporting the journal in the last years, and we hope that you will hold faith with us. A huge thank you also to Paul Rich, PSO President, and Daniel Gutierrez-Sandoval, for their persistent and tireless support with all questions and requests. The trust and support you have shown us is more than any editor could ever dream of. The new editorial team consists of Nils C. Bandelow, Johanna Hornung, and Colette S. Vogeler, all based at TU Braunschweig, Germany. All of us have an international background, by having studied or having stayed at other academic institutions across Europe. All of us are academically active at various international conferences, in academic organizations and self-governance, and through publications in diverse journals (https://www.tu-braunschweig.de/coppp). Together with European colleagues, Nils and Johanna co-edit the European Policy Analysis (EPA) journal that recently published special issues on COVID-19 (Colfer, 2020) and the state of the art of theoretical frameworks of public policy, such as the Programmatic Action Framework (Bandelow et al., 2021; Hassenteufel & Genieys, 2021) and the Narrative Policy Framework (e.g., Tosun & Schaub, 2021). Therefore, we bring in some useful experience in the cooperation with the PSO and Wiley and in editing a journal. We want to pursue a long-term strategy for the RPR over the next few years. In doing so, we want to build on the existing and important focal points and the outstanding networks in the academic world and develop them further. Based on our experience with the EPA journal, we first want to strengthen the areas of communication and special issues in the short term. This means that the RPR will have a Twitter account from now on (@RPR_Journal) and will use it to promote and inform as well as network with supporters of the journal. We also want to enable guest editors to consider the RPR for high-quality Special Issue publication projects. Such special issue projects should usually consist of six articles. If you are interested in guest-editing an issue: We welcome any first or already completed ideas on special issue, e.g., from panels at international conferences or workshops! In the long run, we might think about enabling possible sister projects of RPR and EPA, which will consist of publishing new theoretical perspectives first in the EPA journal and presenting empirical applications to pressing current issues afterwards in the RPR. For any questions, comments or ideas regarding publications in RPR, feel free to always contact us via email: rpr@ipsonet.org. We'd love to connect with you!
