Comments From the Guest Editors.

Approved by CiSE AEiCs on 3 March 2020. Computing in Science and Engineering (CiSE) is a technical magazine of the IEEE Computer Society, in publication since 1999. CiSE publishes peer-reviewed research articles, and also runs departments spanning news and analyses, topical reviews, tutorials, case studies, and more. CiSE runs special issues on themes chosen by the editorial board, which are handled by Guest Editors. This document explains the editorial workflow of special issues, and the role and responsibilities of Guest Editors.Selection of Special Issue ThemesSpecial Issues are proposed by members of the editorial board, or other community members, for the consideration of the Editor-in-Chief (EiC), and Associate Editors-in-Chief (AEiCs). They are approved by the EiC, with concurrence of a majority of the AEICs. (CiSE currently has 5 AEiCs, so three of them should be supportive of the theme). A special issue needs to have at least two Guest Editors, and should be approved at least one year prior to the expected publication.Invited or Open SubmissionsMost special issues make an open call for submissions of papers relevant to the issue theme. Guest editors may propose an invited special issue, for which articles will be submitted via a closed CFP, and this may be approved by the EiC with support from AEiCs. To avoid perceived conflict of interest, guest editors should refrain from inviting authors from their own institutions, or authors who were their graduate students or postdoctoral trainees. All invited articles undergo the same peer-review process as unsolicited ones.Invited Special Issues are generally limited to one per year.Special Issue ProposalsProposals for future CiSE special issues should be sent to the EiC directly, and should include the following materials:Description—An overview of topic and scope, and reasons why it is timely to dedicate a magazine issue to this theme.Guest editors—A short bio for each guest editor, addressing how they are well positioned to lead the community to submit and review manuscripts.Draft CFP—A preliminary drafting of the call for papers, subject to improvements after approval.Dissemination plans—How the guest editors plan to reach authors and ensure success of the special issue.Proposed issue date—Considering any related timelines (e.g., when articles stem from workshops, conferences, or world events), anticipated date of CFP and publication. Role and Responsibilities of Guest EditorsGuest editors assume the responsibility of an Associate Editor in charge of the manuscripts submitted to the special issue. They manage the peer review of submitted manuscripts, ensure publication quality, and adhere to the IEEE and Computer Society’s policies. \cite{manual2020}The IEEE Computer Society has published a Guest Editor Information webpage. CiSE complies with these guidelines, but is sometimes stricter.Follow these guidelines for CiSE Special Issues:Guest editors write a special-issue introduction, which should be 1000 to 2200 words in length (5 pages or less), discussing the state of the art and future directions in the theme topic. It should highlight how each article in the special issue contributes to the field, and it may introduce key concepts and terminology, to facilitate a smooth reading of the articles. The guest editors’ introduction should state whether the issue had an invited or open CFP. It should be sent directly to the EiC.Other than the introduction to the special issue, a guest editor may not be an author or co-author of another article in the special issue they are editing. If some special circumstances warrant it (e.g., a needed survey of the field), they should request special dispensation from the EiC, who will seek concurrence from two AEiCs. Guest editors should actively solicit submissions via outreach through their networks, and make every effort to ensure a healthy number of manuscripts are assessed via peer review to be part of the special issue. Guest editors invite reviewers who are experts in the topic of the special issue ahead of the submission deadline. The reviewers should confirm their willingness to serve, and be ready to review their assigned articles within three weeks. Computer Society policies require each manuscript to receive three independent reviews. Guest editors oversee the timeliness and quality of peer-review reports. They should not take the role of reviewers, themselves.Guest editors should not handle the peer review of manuscripts where a real or apparent conflict of interest (COI, see below) is present with any authors. These include: affiliation, previous co-authorship, having formally mentored the author (as PhD or postdoctoral supervisor), or having collaborated in a funded grant. In the case of a submission by an author where a potential COI may exist (real or apparent) with one or more of the guest editors, the guest editors should seek guidance from the EiC on how the COI might be mitigated. The submission may be allowed to go forward, in which case the guest editor will delegate the handling of peer review of this submission to another member of the editorial board, with guidance from the EiC. Guest Editors are also responsible for ensuring that articles conform to Computer Society policies, and the magazine style. Common issues that arise in this regard are the word limits, and limits on the number of references. According to CiSE guidelines for authors: Articles should be between 2,400 and 6,250 words, including all main body, abstract, keyword, bibliography, and biography text. Each table and figure counts for 250 words. They should have no more than 12 references. Articles should be written for an interdisciplinary audience, be concise, and tend to be more readable than scholarly in style. Special issues typically consist of about 6 articles. Informed by the peer reviews, guest editors select the articles to appear in the issue, which may result in good-quality articles having to be rejected. In exceptional situations of a theme being very popular, guest editors may request approval from the EiC to run a Part 2 of the theme in a later issue. Transfer of special-issue submissions to the regular article queue is discouraged.Definition of Conflict of Interest“A conflict of interest is defined as any situation, transaction, or relationship in which a member’s, volunteer’s, or staff person’s decisions, actions, or votes could materially affect that individual’s professional, personal, financial, or business concerns.” [p.22 IEEE PSPB Operations Manual] An Associate Editor is regarded as having a COI with a manuscript if any author is employed at the same institution as the editor. It is also a COI if the editor has co-authored a paper or has closely collaborated in a research project with any of the manuscript's authors in the previous five years.Editorial WorkflowWhen a special issue is approved, the editorial workflow is as follows:

I would like to take this opportunity and thank all our Associate Editors (AEs) and Guest Editors (GEs) for their diligence and hard work on behalf of the journal.Once a paper is submitted to Journal of Mechanical Design (JMD), and after successfully passing an initial screening, it is assigned to one of our AEs, or GEs in the case of a special issue. Subsequently, an AE or GE takes the lead in handling review coordination for the paper. The review coordination involves identifying and inviting reviewers who are best suited to review the paper, following-up with the reviewers to obtain a timely review, and finally making a recommendation based on the reviews and the AEs or GEs own assessment of the paper. Clearly, AEs and GEs are key players in coordinating a successful peer review process.A list of current and past members of the Editorial Board including their biographies is given on the companion website of the journal.1 The journal's masthead can be found on ASME's Journal Tool website.2I am pleased to welcome several new AEs and GEs who recently joined the editorial board.

Tauc, R. Grigorovici, and A. Vancu (then Prague and Bucharest) was published half a century ago 1. Printed about two months after receipt of the manuscript on June 1st 1966, it is a witness of the impressively fast publication times of pss back then. The article went online 40 years later in 2006, when Wiley had the pre-internet-era content scanned. Figure 1Open in figure viewerPowerPoint Citations (right axis) and cumulative citations (left axis) to “Optical Properties and Electronic Structure of Amorphous Germanium” by J. Tauc et al., pss (1966) 1 versus year (Data from Web of Science SCI, Dec 2015). Beyond the reach of contemporary journal-usage metrics, it has been collecting citations throughout 50 years, and recently we even saw a pronounced acceleration due to renewed interest in amorphous materials, with groups analyzing and developing the method proposed by Tauc et al. further 2. pss proudly continues to provide, promote, and safeguard this valuable piece of information, and to accompany it through the changing times of its lasting legacy for the solid state physics research community. All the while, we are working with our authors, reviewers, board members, and guest editors to add content to the journal that has the potential for a similarly impressive career in scientific literature. Much of pss' most interesting content is attracted by specially compiled, topical publications in collaboration with guest editors these days, and we can mention only a few of them here. Prominently in 2015, pss leaned in on the recent physics Nobel Prize topic again with a double issue on Nitride Semiconductors 3, and also the January issue of pss (b) in 2016 is dedicated to the specific challenges of Polarization-Field Control in Nitride Light Emitters 4. Regarding long-lasting topics we should mention the “20 Years of Science for Diamond” issue in pss (a) 5, and on the contemporary device physics line both “Transparent Conductive Oxides – Fundamentals and Applications” 6 and the issue dedicated to “Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology for Photovoltaics” 7. Reflecting the intense activity in the field and its impact on the world energy economy, photovoltaics based on inorganic as well as organic electronics have been increasingly prominent throughout the pss journal family, also resulting in the pss (RRL) standing topical section “RRL solar”. pss (b) has a very interesting collection on the physics of low-dimensional structures, including graphene, nanotubes, and transition-metal dichalcogenides, in “Electronic Properties of Novel Materials: Molecular Nanostructures” 8. Venturing into more interdisciplinary areas, pss (b) also published “Auxetics and Other Systems of ‘Negative’ Characteristics” with 32 contributions from physics, mathematics, and engineering perspectives 9 and pss (a) had “Engineering of Functional Interfaces” 10. This year we are looking forward to “Carbononics – Integrating Electronics, Photonics and Spintronics with Graphene Quantum Dots” 11, a Focus Issue in pss (RRL), and many other interesting projects. In 2015, physica status solidi (c) – current topics in solid state physics joined the other pss family journals on the editorial platform Editorial Manager. With system data on a new level of transparency, we may report for the year that pss published 1172 articles, worked with 71 guest editors and received approximately 4400 reviewer reports (including re-reviews). As is obvious from these numbers, the journal family flourishes due to its lively interaction and the lasting strong support from the solid state researcher community. We would like to convey our sincere gratitude to all board members, guest editors, reviewers, and authors for the time and work they invest. And of course, we remain open for your future suggestions, and we will observe closely which topic may be poised to become the next pss evergreen.

The prevalence of obesity has reached epidemic propor-tions in all racial and ethnic groups, with about two-thirds(or 66%) of the U.S. adult population now overweight orobese (1). Among non-Hispanic blacks, the prevalence ofextreme obesity is about 2-fold that of the general popula-tion (1). This increase is likely due to environmental influ-ences that encourage consumption of high portion sizes ofenergy-dense foods, sedentary lifestyle, and limited accessto healthful foods (2,3). Interventions that modify theseinfluences are promising approaches to curtailing the obe-sity epidemic.Worksites are settings for reaching large numbers ofworking adults of varying socioeconomic levels and ethnicbackgrounds. Because studies testing interventions thatmodify the food and physical activity environments forweight control are in their infancy, formative research isuseful in helping to understand the complexities associatedwith changing such environments.This supplement to
