Spotlight: AMS Journals Continue to Lead
|
The AMS Publications Commission met in Boston on 25–26 May and Director of Publications Ken Heideman was happy to report that review and mean production times are at an all-time low (in the 70-day range). Speed and quality must go hand in hand for metrics to truly mean anything, and that is certainly the case with AMS journals; Thompson Reuters Impact Factors ® remain high and continue to rise for many of the journals (AMS publications hold 6 of the top 21 slots in the most recent ranking). |

AMS Policy Program Updates |
On 25 May, the AMS Policy Program held a Capitol Hill briefing on "Radio Spectrum for Earth Science." This well-attended briefing, featuring Paige Atkins, NTIA; Scott Pace, George Washington University; and Mark Paese, NESDIS, reached over 80 people, including Hill staff, executive agency employees, and members of the AMS and telecommunications communities. Slides from the briefing are available here.
On 18 May, AMS members visited with over 30 Congressional offices to share the work of the weather, water, and climate community. Ten scientists, from the academic, public, and private sectors, discussed how their work benefits the U.S. economy and public safety. Highlights included in-person meetings with Senator Whitehouse (D-RI), Senator Scott (R-SC), and Representative Bridenstine (R, OK-01), as well as meetings with key Committee staff. |
