Abstract
With the December 2015 issue Neuropsychology Review is celebrating its 25th anniversary Founded by Gerald Goldstein in 1990 and its inaugural editorinchief followed by Antonio Puente it was Ronald Lazar as the third editor who passed the reigns to me in 2009 For the past 7 years I have had the privilege to oversee and direct the journal’s course cf Sullivan 2014 with the promise of putting the “neuro” into neuropsychology reminding its readership of our historical roots by reprinting landmark papers and lifting limits on referencing and inviting scholars to edit special issues focused on their areas of expertise Sullivan 2009 a lead I took from my predecessorNeuropsychology emerged from myriad disciplines notably neurology psychology neuroanatomy and physiology Its multidisciplinary nature has broadened even further in recent years with the emergence and widespread application of in vivo neuroimaging electrophysiology transcranial stimulation and deep brain stimulation Taken together the neuropsychologist at any level of experience or expertise can likely benefit from scholarly thoughtful synthetic and wellwritten reviews on topics outside of their purview Therein has been a principal goal of the journal under my watchTo achieve that goal required exceptional help and dedication from numerous contributors on countless fronts First are the editors and authors of the special issues with topics ranging from pediatrics to aging from genes to environment from bedside assessment to quantitative neuroimaging and more My associate editors Ida Sue Baron Rosemary Fama William Barr and Susan Tapert were exceptionally responsive and provided sage advice argument and consensus especially when faced with difficult decisions My colleague and cover editor Adolf Pfefferbaum oversaw the design and production of the beautiful cover art for each issue My editorial associate Ralph Klumpp was available 24/7 from anywhere in the world to deal with everything from website problems to ensuring timely decisions to error corrections I thank them all for their part in enabling the success of Neuropsychology Review with an impact factor of 459 in 2014 and a fiveyear impact factor of 753Finally I would like to thank Ron Lazar for his support of me and to acknowledge Janice Stern the Springer senior editor with whom I waged thoughtful battles such as one regarding my insistence on producing novel cover art relevant to each issue Now I am happy to announce that David Loring and Stephen Bowden will take over as editorsinchief and emboss the journal with their moniker on neuropsychology’s evolution
