✦ Synopsis
University of Vienna, succeeded in this task Jçrgen Låuter who like Peter actively determined the profile of the Journal for four years. Since the time Jçrgen Låuter became responsible for the Journal, the German and the Autrian-Swiss Region of the International Biometric Society have co-operated closely with the managing editor.
In the past years we have seen that processing of manuscripts, organisation of reviews and the editorial work were handled in a competent and fast manner. We know that Peter and his co-workers in Vienna spent much of their professional and spare time for the growth of this Journal and we would like to express our gratitude to him and his colleagues.
Surely, the Journal owes the major part of its growing influence in the biometrical science to Peter. As Peter himself is a scientist with highest reputation, he succeeded to attract manuscripts of scientific quality. One only needs to have a look at the list of authors or referees to find all well-known scientists our science has to offer among them.
When Peter started, he promised to keep for the next four years the good tradition of presenting valuable contributions from the various fields of biometry. He strongly believed in the Journal and this belief shines through each issue. Because of the diversity of the fields of biometry not every article is equally attractive to every scientist, but finding 3-4 articles out of 9 (the average number of articles in single issue) worth a more thorough reading can be regarded as a sign of high scientific impact and quality.
The new editors, Prof. Edgar Brunner, Gaettingen, and Prof. Martin Schumacher, Freiburg, can realise their own visions by continuing in an almost seamless way on what Peter has established in the last four years. They can rely on authors who produce and submit high quality and scientifically interesting manuscripts, on a team of associate editors that compares with any leading journal and on the fast administrative procedures Peter Bauer has established. We would like to thank Peter Bauer again and wish a good fortune to the new editors.
