Publications
We also welcome Kevin Lanning as the new editor of ASAP, SPSSI’s second journal. Kevin will be taking over on processing new submissions on July 1, 2009 and becomes masthead editor in 2010. [See full article on Kevin elsewhere in the newsletter]. Sheri Levi takes over as masthead editor of Journal of Social Issues in 2010, but she has already been working on the transition for some time. Jack Dovidio and Vicki Esses have been successfully editing SIPR (Social Issues and Policy Review), our third and newest journal, since 2007. In 2010, we will begin to search for a new editor for SIPR. With all our publications now, we have had to work out a systematic process for bringing on new editors for the journals and the book series. Later in 2009, we will begin the process of finding a new editor for the edited book series to succeed Marilynn Brewer. Another project the Publications Committee is working on is the creation of a new book on research methods for those interested in social issues research. Past editions of the research methods book were quite successful, and we hope to duplicate this with a new version of the book. We welcome your input on our publications.
