Abstract
As the field of metabolomics continues to grow and expand there comes a time when it is apposite to summarise these burgeoning information in the form of reviews Metabolomics has therefore decided to assign a dedicated reviews editor to handle all manuscripts that are submitted to the journal as review articles and I am delighted that Rick has been appointed to this positionRick has an excellent track record in metabolomics and has published some key papers in mammalian metabolomics including papers in this journal has developed chromatographymass spectrometry for largescale metabolomics Dunn et al 2011b—which has been used to probe human metabolism Dunn et al 2005 as well as being part of the team involved in the metabolic network reconstructions of yeast and man Herrgård et al 2008 Thiele et al 2013Rick has also published some first rate reviews Including for example a comprehensive review on mammalian metabolomics published in Chemical Society Reviews Dunn et al 2011a a community review of metabolite identification in this journal Dunn et al 2013 as well as insightful reviews in analytical journals detailing techniques that are being developed and employed for metabolomics Dunn and Ellis 2005 Dunn et al 2005 According to Thomas Reuter’s Web of Science these reviews have average citation rates per year of well in excess of 31–39 It is therefore clear that Rick has a wealth of knowledge that means his appointment to Reviews Editor in this journal is very appropriateThe field of metabolomics is growing at an exponential rate with new technological and biological developments leading to new scientific discoveries that impact on our daily lives in many different ways from our health through to the food we consume As a journal we want to help our readers to keep in touch in a single place with recent developments and the impact they provideThe use of review articles to help new researchers in the field as well as to enhance the knowledge of scientists who have applied metabolomics for many years is an important process in our scientific education and dissemination of knowledge At Metabolomics we want to provide a resource to allow this to occurThere are many types of reviews that Metabolomics would consider for publication and these include Critical Reviews – Tutorial Reviews – MiniReviews – Opinion Pieces Moreover this journal is not organism specific and so we welcome reviews in all discipline areas of metabolomics
