Editorial

Dear Readers,

Welcome to the first edition of Starch for 2012. You will be familiar with the new style of the

Journal from last year and will I hope be pleased with the changes. For future editions, I am

seeking to encourage novel reviews and research papers within the focus of the Journal from

new and established authors alike. Innovations within the starch field continue apace and

bringing these developments to the readership is a key focus for the Journal. I wish you well

for 2012.

Yours faithfully,

Call for Reviews 2013

Starch is planning to start an annual Review issue starting from 2013, which will be published

in January each calendar year.

If you, either alone or in collaboration with your colleagues, are interested in preparing a

review article for the issue, then please send as soon as possible (by the end of

February 2012 at the latest) by e-mail the provisional title and a brief outline of the proposed

scope and contents of your review to the Editorial Office (starch@wiley.com).

We firmly believe that the Review issues are an extremely useful source of information to

the readers of Starch and expect that the review articles they contain are likely to be highly

cited. Also, the January issue is traditionally our free access sample issue, maximizing the

readership for the contained articles.
