Fourth Quarter 1995, published by the Society for Risk Analysis
The Society for Risk Analysis has taken another step toward expanding the editorial leadership of its journal, Risk Analysis. Within the context of expanding the editorial function from a single individual to a management group composed of an editor-in-chief and three associate editors (representing diverse disciplinary perspectives), the committee charged with recommending candidates for the senior editorial role has been diligently searching for candidates in three disciplinary areas that are often at the core of risk analysis: life sciences, social sciences, and engineering. The committee envisions a broadened outreach by the journal and a process that provides a natural succession by an associate editor to editor-in-chief. Under the new arrangement, the editor-in-chief will be able to devote more time to major policy developments and special projects that will enable the journal to meet ever-changing and expanding demands from the Society's membership and the scientific community at large.
The committee will make its recommendations to the SRA Council
in December at the SRA Annual Meeting. Those wishing to make
recommendations for associate editors should forward their
proposals directly to the Secretariat.--R. G. Tardiff,
Committee Chair
