August 13, 1999 - The
Association for Research in Otolaryngology (ARO)
announced today that it has launched a new
scientific peer-reviewed journal to be called the
Journal of the Association for
Research in Otolaryngology. The first
issue will be published in the first quarter of the
year 2000.
JARO will publish the highest quality
research findings from all disciplines related to
otolaryngology and communications sciences,
including hearing, balance, the chemical senses,
voice, speech, and laryngeal function. The journal
publishes papers presenting studies of basic and
clinical significance in both humans and animal
models, describing experimental and theoretical
studies of the processes that underlie evolution,
development, structure, function, etiology and
intervention.
JARO will be printed quarterly in the
traditional paper format and also will have a
companion electronic version available on the world
wide web. Papers will be available electronically
as soon as accepted manuscripts have been
copyedited and proofread. Thus, papers will become
available electronically before they appear in
print.
The creation of the new journal follows several
years of careful planning and fulfils the desire of
the ARO memberhip to transform the ARO from a
scientific organization to a scholarly society. A
hallmark of the new journal, as expressed by the
ARO membership, is to publish only the highest
quality research papers in otolaryngology.
JARO and its copyrights are owned solely
by the association but will be published in
partnership with Springer-Verlag, Inc.
Springer-Verlag has been a well-known name in
scientific publishing for over 100 years. They are
very experienced in both printed and electronic
publishing and are positioned very well to keep
abreast with the rapidly changing publishing world.
This partnership between the ARO and
Springer-Verlag will ensure that JARO will
remain the highest quality scientific journal from
now into the future.
Richard A. Chole, MD/PhD, President of the ARO,
established a publications committee to oversee the
overall direction of JARO from the
association's perspective. He named Gerald R.
Popelka, PhD and Arthur N. Popper, PhD. co-chairs
of this committee. Both Dr. Popelka and Dr. Popper
are long term members of the ARO and chaired the
committee of ARO members who developed the proposal
to launch the journal. The scientific direction and
editorship of the journal will be under the
leadership of Eric D. Young, PhD, Editor-in-Chief.
Dr. Young, a very prominent scientist in the field,
has brought together an editorial
board of associate editors from among the most
prominent scientists in the world.
A call for papers already has been announced.
