Seventy-Five Years among the New Words

In celebration of the 75th anniversary of American Speech's regular feature “Among the New Words,” the current editors briefly recount the column's history and then highlight some of the words treated therein. A notable word from each year since 1941 was selected from the published treatments for further reflection and reevaluation. The words treated here not only demonstrate the evolving nature of the English language, but also reflect historical events, societal changes, and technological developments from the last three-quarters of a century, starting in the midst of World War II and ending in the rise of the information Age and social media.

Developing a Tradition of Scholarship

The Problem Research and theory are the lifeblood of academic disciplines along with the peer-reviewed journals that disseminate such scholarship. Journals become critical repositories that capture the histories and evolution of such disciplines, and their scholarly contributions generate new knowledge that can stimulate further research and improve practice. The Academy of Human Resource Development (AHRD) sponsors four peer-reviewed journals that have contributed to the birth and evolution of the discipline of human resource development (HRD). Yet, little is known about how they came into being, how they have evolved, and what their impact has been within the field of HRD. The Solution This article captures the histories of the emergence and evolution of the four refereed journals sponsored by the AHRD through the unique voices of current and recent past editors of these journals. It then considers common themes of scholarship across the four journals that have helped to shape HRD. The Stakeholders Students, researchers, and scholar-practitioners in the field of HRD and related fields who are interested in learning more about the histories of the journals sponsored by the AHRD, along with their contributions to the scholarship in HRD, will benefit from reading this article.

The Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine: The Most Widely Read Pathology Journal Today.

The Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine was first published in 1926 as a subspecialty journal of the American Medical Association. It became the official journal of the College of American Pathologists in 1995. Under the dynamic leadership of its most recent editor-in-chief, Philip T. Cagle, MD, and his vibrant editorial board, the Archives has nearly doubled its impact factor and become the most widely read general pathology journal today. Dr Cagle has consistently added leading pathologists to the editorial board, and the collective expertise of these individuals is clearly evident in new, cutting-edge journal masthead sections. The Archives has featured innovative content in the field of digital pathology, including articles on the utilization of smart phones in pathology and incorporation of whole-slide images and videos into the content of articles. Special sections have characterized the Archives during the current editorial board's tenure and have proven immensely popular with the journal's readership. As the Archives celebrates its 90th anniversary, its editorial board remains committed to providing insightful and relevant medical knowledge. The journal's open access Web site ( www.archivesofpathology.org ) allows the dissemination of this knowledge to every corner of the globe at no expense to those who wish to be educated or improve their medical practice.

Res publica Byzantina? State formation and issues of identity in medieval east Rome

It is a great pleasure and an honour to be writing for the fortieth anniversary volume ofByzantine and Modern Greek Studies. As editor of the journal for some twenty years, from 1984 until 2004, I have watched the journal grow in stature and in esteem over that period, and I am delighted to see it continuing to do so in the hands of its current editors. In the first issue I edited, I also contributed an article that attempted to reconcile some very different approaches to the history of Byzantine society and culture, or at least, to show that such different approaches were not necessarily mutually exclusive. If now rather out-of-date in its content, that article remains a useful baseline for discussing the relationship between empirical research and writing and theoretical reflection.‘“Jargon” vs. “the facts”‘?was a comment about the confrontation that at the time appeared to exist between, very broadly speaking, those who were interested in questioning the theoretical assumptions underlying and informing their research, and those who were not interested in such debates, preferring to see them either as irrelevant or as inaccessible. In my concluding remarks, I suggested that Byzantine Studies in the mid-1980s was in the process of what T. S. Kuhn would have called a ‘paradigm shift‘, that is to say, a process through which a traditional set (or sets) of assumptions and priorities, as well as theories and approaches, is replaced by different sets of ideas. While the changes in the nature of the subject that have occurred since then have not been particularly marked, there have nevertheless been some interesting and important developments that have altered the framework within which some ways of looking at the medieval eastern Roman world are carried on. The so-called ‘linguistic turn‘, for example, pushed Byzantinists, in particular, scholars of Byzantine literature and visual culture, to grapple with various aspects of what might very broadly be termed post-modernist and post-structuralist theory. This is evident in some of the writing and publishing of the later 1980s and 1990s in particular, and in some respects has now been incorporated into our ‘ways of seeing’ the Byzantine world.2In particular issues of intertextuality, of authorial intention, of reception, and of the relativizing of cultural interpretive possibilities (in respect of our own perspective) have become part and parcel of scholarly discourse, thus greatly enriching our discipline.3Represented by more recent work in literary studies and art history especially, I believe this shift also facilitated a much greater degree of cross-disciplinary reading, comparative thinking, and in respect of historical context and setting, a generally more open approach to the medieval west and the Islamic world in terms of both material and method.4

Quite a Third Birthday.

It was just 3 years ago that I was appointed Editor-in-Chief of Therapeutic Innovation & Regulatory Science (TIRS), just as the journal was first launched. In perspective, it has been a remarkable time, and I wanted to share some of our current activities—accomplished and pending. Our publisher, Sage, has just provided us with our 2015 utilization data. These data represent electronic usage; of course, members also receive a printed copy of the journal. TIRS was accessed electronically over 600,000 times during this past year alone. Of particular note, full-text downloads and PDFs of individual articles exceeded 120,000, representing twice the utilization of 2014. Among the most popular types of articles accessed were those dealing with novel approaches to drug develop and innovation, particularly those representing the research output of large, collaborative groups. Similarly, our podcasts continued to grow (nearly 1500 listens) and further stimulate use of the journal and its articles while spurring discussion at a granular level of the practical approach our journal takes in advancing medical product development. While we are a ‘‘young’’ journal, together with our editorial board, our outstanding publishing staff at DIA, and our partners at Sage, we decided to submit an application to be listed in PubMed, which was submitted in November 2015. This was a huge undertaking, and my enormous thanks goes out to our former editors-in-chief, our current editorial board, external ‘‘users’’ of the journal, and DIA and Sage staff. The National Library of Medicine panel is set to meet in February sometime, and we will hear about whether we have been accepted about the time the March TIRS issue is published. We will certainly let everyone know the outcome. We hope we will be successful; I believe ours was a superb application. If we are, this will likely drive a large increase in submissions of high-quality articles, and greatly increase readership and utilization. I realize that it is far from certain that we will be successful; the review committee receives a large number of submissions, and only a minority are accepted. Either way, I want to thank you all, including our authors and readers, for helping to grow the journal and increasing its impact and for making us a viable candidate for PubMed. After March, we will be exploring a number of ways to improve TIRS, and I look forward to all of your input. For the moment, Happy Birthday TIRS, and many, many more!

Welcome to the African Arts Editorial Consortium

Volume 49 marks the beginning of a new era for African Arts. Since the journal’s inception in 1967 as “a quarterly magazine devoted to the graphic, plastic, performing, and literary arts of Africa, traditional and contemporary,” it has been produced out of the James S. Coleman African Studies Center at UCLA by an editorial board composed of scholars affiliated with the university’s academic departments and museums. A consulting editor board of international scholars has contributed their time and energies in advising the editors and assisting with peer review, but for nearly half a century, African Arts has been primarily a UCLA production. This situation arose almost incidentally. Unlike many journals, African Arts is not the organ of a scholarly association, and association journals rotate their editorship on a regular basis, first, as a reflection of their diverse membership and, second, as a way to distribute the costs of running an editorial office across the membership. Generally, the institution where the current editor resides kicks in with office space, release time for the editor, and at least a portion of the salary for support staff to manage the peer review process, while the association uses dues both to finance the layout, copy editing, printing, and shipping of the journal and to provide the journal as a perk for its members. African Arts was originally founded on a business model where operating expenses would be covered by advertising and subscription income, with a relatively small subvention from UCLA. There was thus not only no incentive to rotate the editorship, but there was, in effect, no-one to rotate it to. We are not affiliated with ACASA, ASA, or CAA, and whatever institutional support we got came from UCLA alone. The onset of the Electronic Age and concomitant convulsions in the publishing industry have made our original business model no longer viable—as constant readers will have noticed, advertising in the journal is virtually nonexistent today, and consists primarily of exchange ads, where we publicize a likeminded journal in exchange for them doing the same for us. The African art galleries now buy (continued on p. 4) ad space in magazines like Tribal Arts that are more narrowly focused on a readership of collectors and, even more, rely on the Internet to attract new customers. The readership and editorial focus of African Arts, in the meantime, has shifted from broad discussion aimed at not only academics, but also collectors and general interest readers—who were inspired by the social and political changes sweeping through Africa in the 1960s—to the work and interests of postmodern academics and curators. While this has arguably made the journal more intellectually adventurous, there is still the small matter of paying the bills to produce it.

Revista Española de Cardiología: Current Position and Future Directions

The “Editor’s Page” is the traditional format for the editorial team (ET) to communicate the overall position of Revista Espanola de Cardiologia (Rev Esp Cardiol) and its plans for the future. The current period is marked by the change in ET that took place in October 2015. In the following pages, the current status of the journal is described by both the outgoing ET, formed by Editor-in-Chief Dr Juan Sanchis and Associate Editors Dr Pablo Avanzas, Dr Antoni Bayes-Genis, and Dr Leopoldo Perez de Isla, and the new ET, formed by Editor-in-Chief Dr Ignacio Ferreira-Gonzalez and Associate Editors Dr Emad Abu-Assi, Dr Miguel A. Arias, Dr Pastora Gallego, and Dr Angel Sanchez-Recalde. These pages also include the posthumous acknowledgement of the excellent work of the beloved Magda Heras, Editor-in-Chief from 2009 to 2014. As well as providing a brief recap of the scope and organization of Rev Esp Cardiol, this article also describes the results of a new bibliometric analysis, which indirectly summarize the journal’s current editorial processes and scientific visibility. This leads on to some brief comments on the editorial plans for the period ahead.

BioTapestry now provides a web application and improved drawing and layout tools

Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) control embryonic development, and to understand this process in depth, researchers need to have a detailed understanding of both the network architecture and its dynamic evolution over time and space. Interactive visualization tools better enable researchers to conceptualize, understand, and share GRN models. BioTapestry is an established application designed to fill this role, and recent enhancements released in Versions 6 and 7 have targeted two major facets of the program. First, we introduced significant improvements for network drawing and automatic layout that have now made it much easier for the user to create larger, more organized network drawings. Second, we revised the program architecture so it could continue to support the current Java desktop Editor program, while introducing a new BioTapestry GRN Viewer that runs as a JavaScript web application in a browser. We have deployed a number of GRN models using this new web application. These improvements will ensure that BioTapestry remains viable as a research tool in the face of the continuing evolution of web technologies, and as our understanding of GRN models grows.

60th Anniversary Essay

This essay proposes ways to improve editorial evaluations of manuscripts and to make published research more reliable and trustworthy. It points to troublesome properties of current editorial practices and suggests that editorial evaluations could become more reliable by making more allowance for reviewers’ human limitations. The essay also identifies some troublesome properties of prevalent methodology, such as statistical significance tests, HARKing, and p-Hacking, and proposes editorial policies to mitigate these detrimental behaviors.

The authors thank their editorial board for the opportunity to recall its genesis and persistence, who were appointed to this role by the journal's current editors because they were the main mentors of the ideas that led to its creation.

Amar por arte mayor by Tirso de Molina

Tirso de Molina. Amar por arte mayor. Ed. Enrique Garcia Santo-Tomas. New York-Madrid: Instituto de Estudios Auriseculares (IGAS/IDEA); Madrid-Pamplona: Instituto de Estudios Tirsianos (IET), 2015- 176 pp.In the introduction to his edition of Tirso de Molina's Amar por arte mayor, Enrique Garcia Santo-Tomas sets out to explain why the play has seldom been published, performed, or even noticed by many scholars. He gives their due to the small set of academics who have paid attention to Amar, among them Juan Eugenio Hartzenbusch, Blanca de los Rios, and Premraj Halkhoree. Hartzenbusch, as the first modern editor in 1841, was influential in his distaste for Amur's anachronisms and inverisimilitude, his negative judgment essentially consigning it to obscurity for generations of academics and other aficionados of the Comedia. Garcia Aango-Tomas suspects that Tirso's subordination of nationalistic concerns to language and poetry may also have offended Hartzenbusch's nineteenth-century sensibilities (33). The current editor's compensatory focus on the ingenuity of the expression, along with his respect for cultural and political contexts, are a much-needed corrective to our neglect of the play.Classic in Amar are a protagonist's romantic rivalry with a king, an astute and funny gracioso, and an errant portrait. What is exceptional, even for this genre so attuned to the nuances and play of language, is its wittily self-conscious focus on versification. Amar por arte mayor is a Golden Age poetry-lover's delight. Just as it has been said that the subject of Don Quijote in all its metafiction and self-referentiality is how to write a novel, one could say that a subject of this play is how to versify brilliantly in Spanish. Justifiably, Tirso's characters boast about the virtuoso poetry. Moreover, Tirso employs historical context ingeniously in the sendee of the plot's twists, turns, and linguistic acrobatics. Given the complex language and courtly environment, Halkorhee's suggestion (cited by Garcia 14) makes sense that the piece was probably written for a palace audience.Amar por arte mayor, which takes place in tenth-century Leon, features two jealous kings, one jealous infanta, and one highborn couple secretly in love. We watch as Don Lope and Dona Elvira cleverly pick their way through the minefield that is the passions of royalty. Before the beginning of the play, Don Lope, erstwhile favorite of King Sancho, fled Navarra because of fallout over both men's love for Isabela. She escaped to France and was married to the French king. Now in Leon, Lope and Dona Elvira have fallen in love. King Sancho asks the Asturian-Leonese king, Ordono, to arrest and return Lope to Navarra. Ordono instead appoints the fugitive as his own mayordomo mayor. This king craves Dona Elvira, while his sister, the Infanta Dona Blanca (promised to an Asturian duke), develops a tendre for Lope out of excessive sympathy for his former love Isabela.This work is a hothouse for deceit, rife with ambiguity; metatheater; soliloquies, double- and triple-speak, and sotto-voce plotting. Lope, Elvira, and Blanca all engage in complex deceptions of each other and of King Ordono to further their amorous pursuits. …
