Notes:
The past year in review. 1999 brought readers more issues (6), more articles (59), and more pages (595) of Hydrogeology Journal than ever before. The switch to six issues instead of the four issues of years past enabled authors to be published sooner and provided readers the pleasure of receiving the journal every second month. The primary types of articles in the journal continue to be Papers (23 in 1999) and Reports (25 in 1999). In 1999, the annual theme issue, titled “Groundwater as a Geologic Agent,” with József Tóth as Guest Editor, provided a comprehensive overview of the causes, processes, and manifestations of groundwater acting as a geologic agent. All in all, the Editors believe that it was a highly successful year for the journal; we hope you agree − let us know how you feel about Hydrogeology Journal and the direction in which it is evolving. Thanks! The success of the journal is due in great part to the many who contribute to its production. First and foremost are the authors from all parts of the world who form the backbone of the journal. The support, guidance, and patience of the staff of the publisher, Springer Verlag, especially Wolfgang Engel and Susanne Schweickert, are much appreciated. Two manuscript editors, William Johnson and Robert Schneider, continue to create publishable manuscripts out of articles that were acceptable technically but that needed major editing. Thanks to Barbara Bekins, Guest Editor, for so ably organizing this theme issue during 1999. We are particularly grateful to the staff of volunteer Associate Editors, listed on page A3 in this issue, whose involvement in reviewing manuscripts was greatly expanded in 1999. Their effectiveness in conducting or arranging for reviews substantially lightened the work load of the Managing Editor. In addition, they provided advice, solicited manuscripts, and generally gave the journal solid technical support. In addition to the Associate Editors, many others volunteered their time and expertise to review manuscripts; their contributions provide the framework for the technical soundness of articles that appear in the journal. Below is a list of 129 peer reviewers (not including the Associate Editors) who completed reviews during 1999. Thanks to all for your contributions!
