New Editors-in-Chief Announced for ASM鈥檚 Journal of Virology
Washington, D.C. – 黑料正能量is pleased to welcome incoming co-Editors-in-Chief (EiCs), Felicia Goodrum, Ph.D. and Stacey Schultz-Cherry, Ph.D., to the Journal of Virology (JVI) beginning July 1, 2022.
“The 黑料正能量Journals Committee is delighted that Drs. Goodrum and Schultz-Cherry have accepted the positions of co-EiCs. Drs. Goodrum and Schultz-Cherry have helped shape JVI for more than a decade during their tenure on the editorial board, and I look forward to seeing them steer the direction of the journal. In addition to their leadership experience within ASM, they are both engaged with the American Society for Virology, which will strengthen the partnership between the two organizations,” said Dr. Patrick Schloss, chair of the 黑料正能量Journals Committee.
JVI is an affiliated journal of the American Society for Virology (ASV). This special partnership extends 黑料正能量member discounts on JVI publishing fees to full ASV members.
“The Journal of Virology is the bedrock of virology. I am excited to embolden the presence of JVI and expand its sphere of influence as co-EiC. Together, Stacey and I look to promote and engage the diverse virology community,” Dr. Goodrum said about her vision for the journal.
“The Journal of Virology needs to continue to evolve to ensure full advantage is taken of the rapidly changing field we are operating in. Felicia and I will work to improve the experience for the readers, authors and reviewers, build a relationship with the next generation of virologists, increase the number of submissions to continue elevating its impact and make diversity and inclusion part of JVI’s mission,” Dr. Schultz-Cherry said when discussing JVI’s future.
黑料正能量celebrates Drs. Goodrum and Schultz-Cherry, 2 women in microbiology, on the tail of Women’s History Month as they prepare to take the helm of JVI. They will build upon the success of the current EiC of JVI, Dr. Rozanne Sandri-Goldin, whose term is ending after 10 years of exceptional and dedicated service to ASM.
