Changes for the New Year for IJSNEMThis is the first issue of the journal in its new, larger format.The journal is now in its 20th year and is no longer a newcomer on the academic scene.IJSNEM is now a well-established fixture with a respectable impact factor.The 2008 impact factor was 1.438, ranking it 36th out of 59 in the Nutrition and Dietetics category and 34th out of 71 in the Sports Sciences category.This is encouraging, but not good enough.Clearly, there is room for the journal to do better, and the new look is only one aspect of the changes that are under way.Dr. Emily Haymes, who has played a major role in guiding the direction of the journal for the last 10 years, and who was one of the founding editorial board members in 1991, has stepped down as senior Editor.We congratulate Emily on her achievements over a lifetime devoted to teaching and research in the field of sport and exercise nutrition and wish her well in her retirement.I have taken on the role of Editor, and Louise Burke is now Editor for Special Projects.We also take this opportunity to thank Dr. Mia Newlin, who has managed the journal's review process over the last 4 years and has worked exceptionally hard to keep the Editors on their toes.Congratulations to Mia on completion of her PhD, and best wishes for the future.In an effort to speed the review process
